Back in December, I blogged about my experience drinking GNC Total Lean’s Lean Shake. In just those two months, I could see my body leaning out and I’m proud to say I’ve stuck to drinking one of these puppies since. While the recommended meal plan from GNC encourages you to drink two per day, I drink one for breakfast, eat a salad and lean protein for lunch, and have a hearty dinner (usually meaning more protein and two types of vegetables).
You can mix the GNC Lean Shake powder with water, but if you want even more flavor, try this recipe for what I like to call the “Not-So-Chunky Monkey” protein shake.
Here’s what you’ll need for this mocha blend:
- 1 – 2 cups of cold, brewed coffee
- 1/3 of a frozen banana (life hack: freeze bananas when you see they are starting to get soft)
- 2 scoops of vanilla or chocolate flavored GNC Lean Shake (or your favorite type of protein powder)
Note: If you are only using one cup of coffee, I suggest adding about ½ cup of water for less chunkiness and more liquidity.
Toss all ingredients into a blender and give it a whoosh! The result is a creamy, mocha-infused drink to get your morning off to a healthy start. This is a much healthier, and affordable, alternative to purchasing coffee on-the-go each day.
