GNC Lean 25 French Vanilla Protein

[justme29 76]

They gave me a sample of this as I got a free membership due to grand opening in my neighborhood. Absolutely loved it in orange juice. And I was so full! Right now, my doctor told me to just try things to see what I can tolerate. Is this one the correct type of Protein? I have 2 $5 off coupons and they are buy 1 get one 50% right now. So, it'd be awesome. I will try calling the clinic tomorrow though. I haven't had dietician appt yet, only a phone one which is through my insurance.

So, my deep freezer is full of purees etc now. I wanted to see what tasted ok. Did a pretty good job. And honestly, am taking in more veggies this way!

Rather than add it to orange juice (which is extremely high in sugar) try the GNC Lean 25 orange cream flavor. It's my favorite.

Be extremely careful with fruit juices due to the high sugar content.

GNC total lean is all I have used. I buy the vanilla bean, Swiss chocolate, and strawberries and cream. There are other flavors as well.

I was going to get the Orange Flavor too. But does that mean I am to add them to Water? I am new to this. That is what the rep in the store told me to add it to. I just looked up the OJ label and I see what you're referring to.

I am allergic to strawberries and chocolate. I am trying to make sure the type of Protein was right. But it seems several are using this one. It will not be my only. As I am using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury as well. I have one other flavor Unjury to try. But I need something that can be store bought as well.

Thanks! I'm excited to try these other flavors.

Love the GNC Lean 25 shakes. I buy them pre-made in the plastic bottles. Swiss chocolate is my favorite.

We have a GNC membership (it's free, I think). And we usually buy a case, get 50% off the second case.

Calories - 170; Protein 25 grams. Can't beat that!

Nearly a year out, and I still have one for Breakfast most mornings.

Yes, just mix the GNC Lean 25 shakes (if you buy the powder) with Water. It should be on the directions. I order mine, but I understand that you can sample different flavors at the stores.

I am doing the powder because of a milk allergy. I have tolerated them all well. All the ready mades are milk. So, I will go get it and try it with Water. As, this is one I know I like! Thanks!

If you are allergic to milk then read labels carefully and talk with your NUT about recommendations.

[justme29 76]

They are all made from milk. But from the research I've done people are either allergic to the whey or the casein. If I drink milk, it comes right back out. I can't tolerate it at all. I have not had any issues with the ones that I have had. I am allergic to peanuts too. That's the issue with most the bars contain almonds, which most don't relate with peanuts. I had to return most of them.

Yes, glad she told me before I got extremely stuck to that mix. But I'm thinking if I check out the other flavor, I should be fine.

My doctor's office has me on all the Vitamins I will take later as well. So, they want to see if people are able to comply with the eating habits we're promising.

When I got the new Ninja, I got a little excited. I have some fruit and yogurt smoothies but I know with that, I can't have those right away. I did the puree applesauce in bananas, veggies in broth etc. I was kinda going puree overboard for a couple weeks.

For me, I can not tolerate milk so it's not an option to go pre-made. Because I have several shaker bottles now, It's not very much work for me. I even took the applesauce and banana puree with unflavored Protein in one of those. It worked fine. It's a very different way of eating. But I am trying to figure it out.

When I make a commitment, I like to stick with it. For now, I'm trying to figure out which Proteins will get overstocked! And I know the Isopure Zero Carb Apple Melon will be fully stocked for 2 week liquid diet!

I have also finally given in to getting an elliptical, but I'll be starting out with the Les Mills Combat DVD before moving forward. I was given a list of things to do, one was join an excercise program, with my work commute, this will be about as good as I can get to one.

I'll let you know how it goes!
