- 9 grams of high quality protein
- Supports lean muscle mass and a healthy metabolism

GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ is complete with well-balanced ratios of high quality protein, vitamins, minerals and fat. Proven effective for weight loss, Lean Shake can also help support normal, healthy cholesterol levels, lean muscle mass and a healthy metabolism. When used in conjunction with the provided meal and exercise plan, this delicious oat-based shake can help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. It features a patented fiber-rich blend that increases your feeling of fullness and satiety so you eat less and wait longer between meals. This combination of functionally-specific fibers includes oat beta-glucan. Oat beta-glucan is a naturally-occurring and powerful soluble fiber found in oat bran; it is known as a low-glycemic fiber that supports normal, healthy blood glucose levels. Oat bran and fiber have a slower and more sustained effect on blood sugar and energy levels than when consuming high-glycemic carbohydrate food such as pastries, breads or pasta.
Lean Shake™ offers a good method of weight loss over time. Combine the use of convenient Lean Shake™ with the enclosed meal and exercise plan. Just two delicious shakes per day, plus a few simple lifestyle changes and you can see a totally new you.

Power Up with Protein
Power Up with Protein
Fuel your body more effectively, and get the most from your workoutsDo you ever feel you're slogging through your workouts, barely able to complete what you've planned, and anxious to hit the showers? Or maybe you've wondered how you might take the next step, fuel your body more effectively, and get the most "bang for your buck" from your workouts. Either way, a great place to start is with the basics, and one of the most basic nutrients for optimal athletic performance is protein.The A, B, Cs of protein and performance
Muscles are made of protein, so it's no surprise that protein is vital to enhancing their performance. Knowing what type, how much, and when to fit protein into your daily routine is the key to getting the most from this important nutrient.
Protein particulars
"Wheying" your options
For repairing hardworking muscles after a cardio or resistance training ("weight lifting") workout, nothing beats whey protein. Whey comes from dairy and allows your muscles to refuel effectively. Whey protein is found in powder form and comes in a variety of flavors, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be stirred into yogurt, added to a smoothie, or mixed vigorously with water or another liquid in a lidded container.
The body best absorbs protein when eaten in amounts ranging from 15 to 30 grams in a single meal or snack. Unless you're a serious body-builder, there's no benefit to eating more than 30 grams of protein at one time.
Whey protein makes its way into muscles most efficiently when taken immediately after a workout, ideally within 30 minutes. Eating whey with carbohydrates promotes the movement of the protein from your bloodstream into your muscles as well. Aim for a ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrate.
As an example, combine whey powder to provide about 15 grams of protein in a blender with a banana, ice, and water. A large banana adds around 30 grams of carbohydrate and most whey powders contain a bit of carbohydrate as well. This gives you a finished smoothie with 2 to 3 grams of carbohydrate for every gram of protein-an ideal ratio.
HMB power
Amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Hydroxy-methyl butyrate, or HMB, is a breakdown product of leucine, of of the essential amino acids that are used as building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that HMB can improve strength and help the body maintain muscle mass. Ideally, HMB is used in conjunction with strength training to obtain the most benefit; it is not used to improve cardiovascular athletic performance.
Our bodies can make some HMB, but it isn't found in significant amounts in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to get enough HMB to enhance a resistance training routine.
The optimal amount of HMB is about 3 grams per day, but there isn't agreement on when to take it for best benefit. In order to avoid having HMB "compete" for absorption with whey protein, try taking this supplement in the morning, at bedtime, or about 15 to 30 minutes before a workout.
Final protein pointers
Be sure you're eating a good quality, well-balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans), and whole grains. Without these essential foods, all the whey protein and HMB in the world isn't going to do you any good. Think about creating a nutrient network in your body; they don't work well in isolation.
Also keep in mind that while whey and HMB are considered safe for most people, there are some who should not use these supplements, including people with impaired kidney or liver function. If you have questions about whether whey and HMB are safe for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Chocolate:
I mix this product with half a cup of water and half skim milk and usually blend it with half a banana. I love it! It is the best tasting gnc lean shake in my opinion (it has a better consistancy than cookies & cream and strawberry & cream). I highly recommend trying this flavor. I'm debating trying the vanilla bean next but so far swiss chocolate is my go to.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Chocolate:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I read alot of the reviews and most say losing weight. I have been drinking these every day for about 2 months and seen no weight loss. I only drink one shake a day as to save but maybe I should just bump it up to two a day. These are great shakes I love the taste. I don't like them with water I use 2% milk and I absolutely love them. I have tried cookies n cream, vanilla, rich and swiss choc.. They don't really curb my hunger because I am hungry about 2 hours later. I exercise every day at least the treadmill and elliptical and eat healthy just about every day. I do slip occasionally but not enough to not aide in weight loss. Thank you GNC for these delicious shakes.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Chocolate:
I really enjoyed the great chocolate flavor. I actually used less than the required mixture as it comes out so thick. So I end up using less than the other flavors - so the tub lasts longer - GREAT!

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Chocolate:
I love GNC Lean Shake chocolate flavor, and it tastes a lot better than many other protein shakes. It's not super sweet and you can mix it with non-fat milk or water to keep calories even lower but the taste is still great. Twice a week I'd use it to replace dinner by adding a banana to it in the blender, works great for me.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Chocolate:
First off, let me just say that GNC Total Lean shake has helped kick start my weight loss journey. I have been eating more healthy and exercising regurlarly along with drinking total lean (started 2 weeks ago) as a meal replacement 2x every other day and as a result I have lost 3 lbs. Though it's not much, it's a start. I bought the swiss chocolate and vanilla. The swiss chocolote taste HORRIBLE. It just did not tase like chocolate. I ended up giving it to my older brother who is also on a weight loss journey. He LOVES it. Now on the other hand, the vanilla is DELISH. I loved it. instead of using a blender cup, I mix it in my blender, no clumps at all. Highly recomment total lean, Vanilla flavor of course. I give the chocolate a 1 for the taste and vanilla a 5 for the taste.
