Ingredients
LEANBody Shake contains the following active and inactive ingredients. All constituents work synergistically to deliver great-tasting healthy nutrition.
INGREDIENT 1: WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE (WPC80)
After lots of searching we found NutriWhey 800I, a whey protein concentrate from The Netherlands. This protein is isolated from milk as a starting material. Compared to regular whey proteins which are derived from cheese by-products, our protein raw material hasn’t undergone harsh processing (e.g. bleaching of cheese colourants). This ensures a raw material of high quality, purity, appearance and nutritional properties.
Benefits of whey protein intake in relation to weight loss:
-
Able to induce a sensation of fullness which helps prevent overeating.
-
Provides a good source of protein to maintain muscle mass.
-
Triggers energy expenditure as digestion requires energy.
INGREDIENTS 2–3: CARBOHYDRATE SOURCES
LEANBody Shake contains a blend of fast and slow-digesting sources in a 50:50 mix. This ensures that energy is provided to the body in a sustained manner. These sources are all plant-derived:
MALTODEXTRIN:
A carb derived from corn starch and which absorbs rapidly without any bloating or gastrointestinal distress. Maltodextrin is a source of glucose for the body.
PALATINOSE:
A slow-absorbing carbohydrate derived from white beets. Palatinose provides the full carbohydrate energy (4 cal/g) in a more balanced way than sources like fructose and cane sugar.
INGREDIENT 4: MULTIVITAMIN MIX
Each shake brings you 35% of your daily needs of 12 vitamins, an amount that your body can process efficiently without any wastage!
List of vitamins you get:
Vit A, Vit D3, Vit E, Vit B1, Vit B2, Vit B3, Vit B6, Vit B12, Biotin, Folic acid, Pantothenic acid.
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS (ADDITIVES)
NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURS
To flavour our protein raw material we use a combination of natural and artificial flavours.
Our chocolate flavouring is a natural UTZ-certified cocoa powder which also doubles as a colourant.
Our artificial flavours are sourced from the best flavour houses in South Africa and overseas.
XANTHAN GUM (THICKENER)
Xanthan gum acts as a natural thickener to give a thicker consistency to LEANBody shake.
Xanthan gum is safe in the amounts used in our shake.
NATURAL COLOURANT
We selected plant-based colourants like beetroot powder and beta-carotene. Cocoa also gave colour to our chocolate variants.
It was not a problem for us to resist using the cheaper and colourful artificial colourants like Allura Red, Tartrazine, Sunset Yellow, etc. because these could interfere with brain chemistry in kids.
SWEETENER (SUCRALOSE)
We selected sucralose, a sweetener with the best safety rating among all artificial sweeteners.
Its high sweetening power means that we didn’t have to use a large amount of sweetener.
Sucralose is also the best tasting of the lot and does not leave any of that terrible aftertaste that comes from other sweeteners.
What’s Not in LEANBody Shake?

What do you guys have to pick up weight?

On weekends I like to mix a serving in my Nutribullet with ice cubes, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water. Sometimes 4-5 cashew nuts. It has helped me lose and maintain weight.

A good shake to add lean muscle also. Mixed with creatine and glutamine in milk or water. Wish they can come in larger bags or tubs for more servings.

Hi Thabo. We have kept a 2:1 ratio between carbs and protein to aid lean muscle building. Regular “musclebuilding” shakes contain too much carbohydrates compared to proteins (usually 4:1 ratio and above) which isn’t that great.
Claire –
I purchased twice. The first time the shake was a little runny/ thin. The second time is was thicker. I use it in milk. Why is this?
siteadmin –
Hi Claire,
Thank you for purchasing the LeanBody shakes. The latest version has added thickener (Xanthan) gum which gives the shake more “body” leading to a more satisfying feeling. Everything else in the formula is the same.

I like it and it keeps hunger away. Highly recommended. Surprisingly delicious strawberry flavour.

This year I went on a weight loss resolution and lost 19kg. I exercised 5 times a week and ate healthy almost everyday. I must give kudos to Lean Body shake for having made things easy. I replaced lunch with a shake, a medium apple and a handful of seeds/ nuts at work everyday.

Definite 5 star product. The formula is good for my needs even though I’m not seeking to loose weight.
