Add 1 level scoop to shaker cup or mix in a blender with 8 oz of water. Add ice, berries, bananas or fruit prior to blending if desired. Do not let mixed drink sit more than 30 minutes at room temperature.
If I were to replace my 3 daily meals with LEAN would I be getting all the nutrients I need on a daily basis to be healthy?
Though LEAN is a well balanced protein shake with multivitamins and minerals, we recommend that LEAN is used as a part of a healthy eating schedule.
Can I add fruit to my LEAN smoothie?
Absolutely. Lean’s vanilla flavor is great on its own, but if you want a little more zest to your smoothies, add your favorite fruits or fruit juices. The CNI favorite is Chef Bart’s Blueberry Pomegranate… just add about 6 blueberries, 3 oz of Pomegranate juice and 3 oz of H20, blend and enjoy!
Can I add fiber to my LEAN smoothie?
CNI’s LEAN smoothie mixes well with many natural fiber supplements including oat bran, ground flaxseed, apple pectin, and/or psyllium. We recommend you always include a healthy amount of soluble and insoluble natural fiber as part of your LEAN smoothie days. A diet high in natural fiber not only helps curb cravings and promotes regularity, but plays an important role for long-term health and wellness. High-fiber foods—whether taken in your LEAN smoothie or as part of your 400-600 calorie meals—are an integral part of your CORE4 System.
What kind of protein is in LEAN?
“LEAN” tissue, or muscle, is the body’s best natural fat burner. A healthy body is determined more than just by scale weight, it is body composition. Healthy body composition includes ideal body weight with a low body fat percentage, and healthy bone mineral density. LEAN smoothies® are engineered with a specialized balance of proteins and amino acids to achieve a healthy body composition. Additionally, LEAN’s proprietary combination of proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals satisfies the appetite for hours, providing you with a very low-calorie, balanced, nutritional meal or snack.
Can I use LEAN in anything other than a smoothie?
Yes, however we recommend you mix LEAN with water or milk for the best taste and delivery. Each serving of LEAN is designed to suit most people’s needs during a weight loss regimen. LEAN is useful as a meal or snack replacement and as a supplement to aid in muscle repair. When you exercise or lift weights, your muscles are damaged. LEAN can play an important role in the repair of your muscles. This can result in less soreness and smoother, more defined muscles.
Can I live on LEAN?
Lean should be used as a meal or snack replacement 1 or 2 times daily. LEAN is very low in calories and the body requires more calories to live on per day, so we do not recommend that you use LEAN as a meal replacement for ALL of your meals. Use LEAN as a meal replacement only once per day or as a snack in between meals 2 times daily.
I notice that many protein supplements on the market have 30 or 40 grams of protein per serving but LEAN only has 10. Why do the other protein supplements have so much?
Remember, LEAN not only has a proprietary blend of proteins that are readily available to the body, it also has a special blend of Amino Acids that act as carriers of protein to the muscle. LEAN is a “smart” protein that does not require a large load of protein. Some of the products on the market that have 30 – 40 grams of protein per serving are loaded with Casein (milk protein) that is filling and coagulates in the stomach creating a feeling of severe bloating. LEAN is highly bio-available, and works in the muscle without disturbing your stomach.
