I recently started using GNC Total Lean: Lean Shake in the morning as breakfast. This is a product I have been eyeing for a while. I have spent time researching this product, as well as others like it. I realize, however, meal replacement shakes are not the best idea (or the worst) and I should be eating a real breakfast. I just never seem to have enough time in the morning on work days. I wake up around 5:30am and leave for work no later than 6:30am. I do try my best to get up earlier to make at least scrambled eggs but it just never seems to work out for me.
I began looking at GNC Total Lean: Lean Shakes as my solution for breakfast on work days only. This product is low in calories at only 170 calories per 14oz bottle. It packs 24 vitamins and minerals as well as 25 grams of protein. I purchased a 4 pack of the swiss chocolate flavored. It tastes great with no chalky after taste. In fact it kind of reminds me of YooHoo. It is also available in vanilla and strawberry. At a price of $7.99 per 4-pack, this product is no more expensive than Carnation Breakfast Essentials. Except this packs more protein, vitamins & minerals and has less calories, fat and sugar. It is also available
Overall I recommend this to anyone who needs a quick meal on the go. According to the literature provided at www.gnc.com this also makes for a good snack between meals as well.

Complex carbohydrates are virtually found everywhere. You can have them from your pasta, brown rice, spaghetti, potatoes, macaroni, brown bread, wholemeal bread, wholegrain cereals, bagel, high fiber breakfast cereals, shredded wheat, yam, peas and porridge oats. But the best sources of complex carbohydrates come from bran, brown rice, and oatmeal since they’re in their most natural state.
