As such, rich in protein and high in fiber, they represent a good choice for any weight loss, weight management, or muscle building program.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The shakes are defintely high in protein (from whey and casein) and dietary fiber, and provide a moderate amount of carbs from whole grain sources. They&#8217;re relatively low in fat and sugar&#8230;and quite filling. Drinking one was nearly as satisfying as eating a solid food meal&#8230;a definite plus.<\/p>\n<p>Tastewise, the shakes are good, although I wasn&#8217;t equally enthusiastic about all three flavors&#8230;I thought the blueberry was excellent; the apple-cinnamon was decent (more spicy than fruity), but the banana was only so-so. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the latter was drinkable, but it&#8217;s just not one of my favorite flavors&#8230;at all. As Paul notes in his MRP review, the shakes are best made in the blender (also handy for adding frozen fruit or other amendments). They tend to thicken a bit on standing, thanks to the soluble fiber content.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Lean Body Instant Breakfast Shakes are good for a quick meal on the run, or a solid, between-meal snack.<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:3.5&#8221; &#8220;Quality:5.0&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:5.0&#8221; &#8220;Value:3.0&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Instant Breakfast Shakes are made by Labrada Nutrition: a company well-known to the bodybuilding world.
