This is the best secret no one buys. I hate protein powder, but GNC has a pre-made shake called Lean Shake. It sits in the front of the store, because it sells so good. It has 25g of protein, lactose free and is YUMMY! By the way, it is pre-made. I knock one down driving to work every morning after walking two miles. I will have another for a mid-morning snack. Check out my blog, if you want to know what they look like. I drank these pre and post op. Awesome!

They are pretty good, and if you join their club, you get a discount.

Loved it too. Just tried their Mhp brand chocolate pudding. It tasted better than any jell-o pudding I ever made. 30 grams of protein 0 carbs too. Sweetened with Splenda, listed as sucrolose.

I am so bummed - saw this post this AM and beat feet to my nearest GNC....only to find out that the Lean Shake is NOT lactose free. As I am totally and painfully lactose intolerant, I am sad - I have been looking for a good no-lactose shake without luck.

Maybe next time.

The ready to drink shakes Lean Shake from GNC are definitely lactose free. I drink them daily and love them. Look again.

Let me correct myself - the powdered Lean Shakes. I can't do RTD due to the nature of my work. Wish I could >.<
