GNC Lean Shake 25

I liked it better than most others I've tried. It mixed well with ice and wasn't too sweet. I just used the vanilla and added a bit of jello, fruit, yoplait smoothie mix, PB2, spinach, etc. It will help you meet your protein needs and aid in building/retaining muscle. It was one of the few that didnt upset my stomach.

Really, my all time favorite is Dymatize Elite XT. The rich chocolate is the best protein I've ever tried and it mixes so smoothly. It isn't a meal replacement but it would be easy enough to add stuff in. Since it is only about 130 calories and 21 grams of protein, you have room to play around with extra stuff for nutrients. You could mix it with some milk, take a multi, and get the same benefits without spending as much as you do on Lean Shake 25.

I just purchased two containers of the Lean Shake 25, one in banana and the other in French vanilla. The amount of sugar per two scoops is super low and the amount of protein is amazing. I just had the banana one today as a meal replacement and it was actually really good. I thought I was going to have to add a banana to it but luckily I tried it first after I mixed it with 8oz of water and it didn't need it. It was a bit thick so I'll try it with 10oz of water next time. I will say for only 3 grams of sugar it was pretty sweet, I wouldn't advise using anything to mix it that already contains sugar, the water is sufficient enough. I bought mine at GNC, they were having a buy one get one 50% off plus the shaker bottle free if you purchased two containers, so for the gold member ship (1yr), two containers and the shaker bottle I spent about $68 dollars, not bad if you ask me, lol. I'm using the shakes as a meal replacement when eating five times a day isn't possible or I'm not hungry but know I have to have something. I work out three days a week with a trainer and am starting to go two more days a week on my own. Sometimes there just isn't enough time in the mornings to eat an hour before my workout so this will be great.
