GNC shakes

Has anyone tried GNC total lean shakes?

Is it considered a Meal Replacement drink

I can't remember If my nutritionist said to only drink half at a time

Any advice

I have test driven serveral brands of shakes. The GNC Lean 25, does not whey protein isolate as a main component.

As for taste it was not bad, I needed it to be super cold. But everyones taste buds are different.

According to their site it's a meal replacement:

Same calories as the Isopure I drink, however it has 17 carbs to Isopure's 0.

On the other hand it does have 8 grams of Fiber...

I like to use it as the base to my smoothies, it mixes better than my powder from Walmart. Tastes good and a blends without grit. Without added fruit or yogurt, e.g. just mixing with water or milk, it needs a little more time to rehydrate. I like the French Vanilla. Chocolate Peanut Butter was ok too but way better if you added a spoonful of PB2.

That's all I drink, it has 170 Cal 25g Protein 2g Sugar 6g of Carbs. I drink the chocolate or strawberry. I love them and to me they taste yummy. I showed it to my Surgeon and he said it was perfect!!!! I have 2 a day and have more than 1/2 my protein intake the rest I do with meals.

I was looking at these yesterday. For some reason, the RTD has way lower carbs than the powder. I compared the powder to my GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 and mine is the better one.

Also, I'm told that the concept of "net carbs" (carbs - fiber = net carbs) is an Atkins thing and it's BS.

Yes the RTD does have 30 calories less than powder and it costs about the same. Im gonna have to check out the Isopure .
