Blows GNC Lean Shake OUT OF THE WATER!!! LOVE this stuff!!
UPDATE 8/9/18 - I have now tried the churro flavor and love it too! Tastes like the milk left in the bowl after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch. YUMMY! It's best with almond milk but is also really good with water. I'm probably going to order both flavors and do one for breakfast and one for lunch going forward.
Original review - I am SOOO glad I found this shake mix! After turning 35 recently, my body decided that it was time to make it EXTRA difficult for me to remain at my ideal weight. I have been using GNC Lean Shake 25 for months now and figured I just had to get used to being bloated and gassy all the time. After trying this I will never ever go back! It was the maltodextrin giving me the G.I. issues, I'm sure of that now. Before this, GNC Lean shake was the best tasting shake in water I had ever tried (excluding the ones so expensive that I'd have to take out a loan to use regularly). This is now the best tasting shake I have ever tried and I've only tried the gourmet chocolate so far. I can't wait to try the others!
In a head to head comparison with Lean Shake, RSP TrueFit has the same amount of protein, same amount of fiber, less carbs, less sugar, less calories, a similar vitamin/mineral profile and the addition of probiotics which Lean Shake doesn't have. Additionally, RSP TrueFit tastes better, costs less, is gluten free and has NO MALTODEXTRIN!!! Do your reading, that stuff is horrible!! I had no idea but I'm so glad I know now! Literally the day I switched, my bloating and gassiness was completely GONE!!!
In addition to what's in it, RSP TrueFit mixes just as well in a blender bottle (my preferred method) as Lean Shake. FYI, the serving size is one scoop, whereas the serving size of GMC Lean Shake is two scoops, hence the difference in the scoop size. I have tried it both with unsweetened original almond milk (HOLY COW IT'S DELICIOUS) and just water (still really good)! I choose to do almond milk for my morning shake and water for my afternoon. I have also found that when mixed with almond milk, I prefer the taste when I mix it in 16-20 oz instead of the recommended 10 oz. When I use water I like to add around 14-16 oz. I just prefer to get as much to drink as possible without it tasting too rich or too watered down. That's what works for me, but everyone has their own preference.
I have just finished my first tub of RSP TrueFit and I will NEVER go back to GNC Lean Shake again!! I have added it to my monthly subscribe and save list. So far I have lost 3 pounds and can't wait to see how much further it will take me in conjunction with my regular exercise routine and healthy eating. If you want to shed a little extra weight and you're looking for a new shake to try, do yourself a favor and buy this one. You won't regret it! And for the record, I paid full price for all of my shakes and didn't get any discounts or anything like that, so you can trust me.
