What is Plexus Lean™?

Plexus Lean is a convenient (and delicious!) meal replacement or snack that can help you discover a lighter, leaner you!

With protein, vitamins, minerals, and fill-you-up fiber, Lean helps you feel full and satisfied, while giving your body the nutrition it needs to feel energized and ready to take on the day.

While other protein shakes or meal replacement options can have a chalky, gritty texture and can leave a bad taste in your mouth (literally), Lean comes in smooth, creamy, luxurious flavors that help satisfy your cravings and deliver all the taste, with none of the guilt.

In a nutshell, Lean can help you reach your weight loss^ goals while providing tasty, healthy nutrition. It’s time to shake up some health and happiness!

Wondering if Lean meets your specific dietary needs? You’re in luck: Lean comes in 3 different varieties with 3 different types of protein, to match any lifestyle.

 

Plexus Lean Whey

Plexus Lean Whey contains satisfying, muscle-maintaining whey protein. Fuel up, stay nourished, and lose weight^ (not muscle)! Lean Whey is available in Milk Chocolate and Creamy Vanilla flavors.

Plexus Lean Recipes

Lean is great when you shake it up and take it on the go, but it’s also a great way to add a little protein (and vitamins, and minerals, and... you get the gist) to some seriously yummy recipes.

In fact, we’ve got a whole booklet full of nutritious, delicious recipes that feature Lean. Here are a couple of our favorites.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Lean Shake

Peanut butter and chocolate go together like, well, peanut butter and chocolate. Thanks to this Plexus 96® chocolate peanut butter cup protein shake, the dynamic duo has never been better for you.

Who has time for a sit-down breakfast anymore? You won’t feel guilty about skipping eggs and bacon when you substitute this Peanut Butter Chocolate Shake. The main attraction is the whey protein from the two scoops of Plexus Lean Whey Milk Chocolate.

Besides the scrumptious taste, you’ll also love this new breakfast shake recipe because it only takes three minutes to prepare. You can even pour it into a reusable shake container and bring it with you on your morning commute.

Red Velvet Protein Cookies

These soft and chewy Protein Red Velvet Lean Cookies are made with the delicious Plexus Lean™ Whey Creamy Vanilla and are the perfect treat to end your date night with.

If you love red velvet cake but don't love its decadence, here is your nutritious and delicious alternative—and it’s the perfect treat to end your date night. These Protein Red Velvet Lean Cookies are made with the tasty Plexus Lean Whey Creamy Vanilla protein powder which contains 15 grams of whey protein to fill you up while supporting muscle.

This satisfying protein also includes dietary fiber, prebiotic fiber and essential amino acids that can help support your gut and digestive health. These soft and chewy cookies have plenty of other quality ingredients too like coconut oil, cocoa powder and applesauce, and are so good that they probably won't last.

Enjoy them as a dessert or just a wholesome snack—either way, you’ll be happy you made these sinfully yummy treats.

Protein Meal Replacement Shakes

Protein shakes have become a popular way to fill in gaps left by lifestyle choices and diet.

That’s because protein can help reduce your appetite and hunger levels, which can lead to a reduced desire for snacking.2,3 Your body also uses protein to build muscle mass and strength, and to fuel your metabolism.2,4

When you add up all the many benefits of getting more protein in your diet, it’s not surprising that protein has been shown to help prevent weight regain after weight loss.5

That doesn’t mean all protein shakes are created equally. The vast majority of meal replacement options leave a lot to be desired. Many are missing key vitamins and nutrients or have added sugar, fillers, and preservatives. They’re also lacking taste and texture.

Plexus Lean isn’t your average protein shake. It’s both filling and satisfying, making it the perfect meal replacement or on-the-go snack.

Finally, you can have your shake and drink it, too!

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or simply want to get more protein in your diet, Plexus Lean can help.

It’s the perfect choice for adults who are looking for a healthy and convenient meal replacement or satisfying snack, without sacrificing on texture and taste!
