The Lean Body® Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Shake is more than just a convenient drink – it’s a nutritional powerhouse designed to help you quickly burn fat and build noticeable muscle. With 40 grams of high-quality protein and zero sugar per serving, Lean Body RTDs make getting that perfect physique easier than ever.

If you’ve ever followed a carb-restricted diet, you know that great taste is often a luxury. With Lean Body® RTDs, you don’t have to sacrifice flavor. Lean Body® RTDs have been awarded for their taste for a reason – because they taste like a rich, creamy milkshake! This makes it easier and more enjoyable to get the protein you need – any place, any time – so you never have to go hours on end without protein. After all, as the building block of muscle, protein is the most important nutrient when it comes to strength, repair, and growth. Without it, your chances of getting bigger (and even maintaining the size you already have) get smaller and smaller. With Lean Body® RTDs, you can stay on track with getting the protein you need and the body you want!

Research shows that athletes have a greater need for protein than the average person. This need is even greater in strength-training athletes. If you lift weights or regularly engage in physical activity, Lean Body® can help you get the protein you need. Many people, including non-athletes, are unknowingly deficient in protein. Lean Body® can provide nutritional insurance against inadequate protein intake.
