Lean Body® Instant Whole-Food Shakes are the quick, convenient whole-food solution for hard-training athletes who have little time to prepare a nutritious meal. Each shake contains more concentrated, musclebuilding nutrition than 10 scrambled egg whites, a bowl of oatmeal, and a handful of vitamins.

If improving your physique is high on your priority list, skipping out on breakfast or grabbing ‘just anything’ simply isn’t an option. Lean Body® Instant Whole-Food Shakes ensure you’re getting the nutrition you need to start your day off right with a powerful 40/45/15 ratio of slow-burning carbohydrates, highly biovailable proteins, and essential fatty acids – designed to increase lean muscle growth, strength, and energy all day long!

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.
