The Ingredient Breakdown
- Oat Flour: Oat Flour is a healthy source of dietary fiber which may also reduce the risk of heart disease. This high-quality carbohydrate supplies the body with energy throughout the whole day.
- Whey Protein Concentrate: VPA® WPC delivers your body the ideal supply of protein to start the day. With a protein percentage of approximately 80% and very low fat and carbohydrate levels (only 0.7g and 1.5g respectively) VPA® WPC is extracted using ultra-filtration processes ensuring the protein is left in its most natural form.
- Whey Protein Isolate:Recognised as one of the purest forms of protein, VPA® WPI has the highest protein percentage (90+) with the lowest fats and carbohydrates, allowing it to be absorbed almost instantly into your blood stream. Approximately 30-minute peak muscle saturation.
- Minerals: VPA® Meal Replacement is full of minerals including, Calcium, Hydrogen Phosphate Hydrate, Monopotassium Phosphate, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Glycinate, Zinc Gluconate, Ferric Pyrophosphate, Manganese Sulphate, Copper Sulphate, Sodium Molybdate, Potassium Iodide, Chromic Chloride and Sodium Selenite.
- MCT: MCT or Medium Chain Triglycerides are a form of fat that provides an easily digested, calorie dense energy source. MCTs are unique in that, unlike other fats, they are metabolised by the body more like a carbohydrate than a fat – simply, MCT provides lots of energy, very quickly. MCT is great for anyone following a low- carbohydrate diet as it has an incredible ability to promote ketones in the blood stream which then utilise fat for energy.
- Vitamins:VPA® Meal Replacement is full of vitamins including, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Thiamin, Vitamin A, Folate, Vitamin K, Biotin, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12. Maltodextrin: Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate made from corn, rice or potato.
- Skim Milk Powder:Skim Milk Powder is a non-fat dried milk product, rich in milk proteins and minerals.

FAQs
What are meal replacement shakes?
Meal replacement shakes provide the nutrition of a full meal. They are portable and convenient and provide an easy way to fuel energy, fulfil protein intake, and aid weight loss. Lean Shake Plus is a meal replacement protein shake and a Formulated Meal Replacement as described by Food Safety Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) in Standard 2.9.3. Lean Shake is designed to be the equivalent of a nutritious, nutritionally complete, low-calorie meal.
How does a meal replacement shake work?
Meal replacement shakes aid weight loss by providing a nutritionally complete but low-calorie meal. When you drink a healthy meal replacement shake instead of eating your usual meal, you reduce your calorie intake, which can help you lose weight.
What are the benefits of meal replacement shakes?
-
Weight-loss meal replacement shakes help keep you healthy. One serving of meal replacement must provide nutrition equivalent to a food-based meal. Sometimes, a medical condition can prevent someone from eating solid food for some time. This is where a formulated meal replacement can come in handy, providing a drinkable, nutritious meal.
-
Meal replacement powders can help you lose weight. They provide a nutritionally complete yet low-calorie meal. In conjunction with exercise and watching other aspects of your diet, meal replacement shakes can help you put yourself into a calorie deficit and lose weight.
-
Meal replacement shakes are fast, convenient, and on-the-go meals. They may be useful for people who are often on the road or don’t have much time to eat when they are at work.
Are meal replacement shakes good for you?
When used as directed and in conjunction with a calorie-controlled diet and a good exercise regime, meal replacement shakes can help you lose weight without side effects.
Can I replace all my meals with meal replacement shakes?
Meal replacement shakes are good for weight loss and a convenient on-the-go nutrition option. However, they are no magic bullet. While they are beneficial, consuming whole foods for a well-rounded, balanced diet is essential.
Do meal replacement shakes help with weight loss?
Since formulated meal replacement shakes are convenient, on-the-go meals keep you satiated with the proper nutrients, which helps with weight loss. When stressed or in a hurry, it is easier to grab ready-to-eat foods that are full of sugar and high in carbohydrates. It contains high-quality protein, low-GI carbohydrates, and green tea extract for weight loss.
Can I have a meal replacement shake every day?
Yes, meal replacement shakes can be incorporated into your daily diet for added convenience and balanced nutrition.
When should I use a meal replacement shake?
Lean Shake Plus is specifically made to be used as a meal replacement. You can use it instead of your usual breakfast, lunch or dinner meal. For those who are after additional nutrition and not concerned with losing weight, it can be used as a nutritious snack between meals. You can also use Lean Shake Plus as a recovery drink after exercise. The protein in it will start muscle repair and building, and the carbohydrate will begin the refuelling process.
What is the difference between a nutritional shake and a meal replacement shake?
Meal replacement shakes are designed to replace a whole meal. On the flip side, nutritional shakes provide a general supplementation of specific nutrients.
What is the difference between a meal replacement shake and protein powder?
A meal replacement shake is not a pure protein powder like WPC or WPI. High-quality WPI and WPC, like our Premium Whey or Whey Isolate, deliver the highest protein content possible. On the other hand, meal replacement shakes are protein powders with the added nutrition of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fibre which are specifically designed to provide you with the nutrition contained in one complete meal.
What are the ingredients in Lean Shake Plus?
Meal replacement powders are not pure protein powders. They are usually a mix of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and fibre. One serving of VPA® Lean Shake Plus meal replacement shake contains 28.3g of high-quality protein, 20.4g of carbohydrate, 1.4g of fat and a total of 216 calories per serving.
The ingredients of Lean Shake Plus are:
Skim Milk Powder – A non-fat dried milk product rich in protein and minerals.
Whey protein concentrate (WPC) – is a high-quality pure whey protein that provides the essential amino acids needed to build and repair muscle, maximising muscle growth.
Whey protein isolate (WPI) – is a pure whey protein powder a highly concentrated source of protein with high levels of leucine.
Maltodextrin – A long-chain carbohydrate that does not have a sweet flavour compared to other simple carbohydrates.
Oat flour – A source of slowly digesting complex carbohydrates and the healthful fibre beta-glucan.
9 different minerals – Calcium, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum. Essential minerals for maintaining health.
Xanthan gum – A type of fibre which helps maintain gut health and helps keep you feeling full.
Green tea extract—Providing energy and also working as an appetite suppressant, green tea extract helps keep you satiated while on a low-calorie diet.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) – A form of easily digested fat. MCT provides you with energy and promotes fat burning.
12 different vitamins - Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Thiamin, Vitamin A, Folate, Vitamin K, Biotin, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12. Essential vitamins for maintaining health.
Should I use a meal replacement shake or protein powder?
If you obtain your essential nutrition through freshly prepared meals and are not concerned with losing weight, then a pure whey protein powder like WPI or WPC may be the best choice for you. WPC or WPI may also be the best choice if you train hard and want to maximise your performance and body composition goals.
On the other hand, if you struggle to obtain enough good nutrition from fresh foods, are too busy to make complete meals, or are trying to lose weight, a meal replacement shake like Lean Shake Plus might be a great option.
Is Lean Shake Plus made in Australia?
All our protein powders and thermogenic fat burner powders are blended and packed at our export-grade production facility in North Brisbane. Buy now.
What does Lean Shake Plus taste like?
When made into a shake, meal replacement powders taste like flavoured milk or a milkshake. Lean Shake Plus has three delicious flavours: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
What is the serving size of Lean Shake Plus?
One serving of Lean Shake Plus is much bigger than WPC or WPI as this is a blended protein product. One serving is 60g or two scoops. One bag of muscle gainers has 17 servings. The carbohydrate powders in meal replacement powders tend to settle over time, so for accuracy, we recommend you weigh each serving using a set of scales to ensure you are not using too much or too little.
What should I mix Lean Shake Plus with?
Lean Shake Plus can be mixed with either water or milk. Please be aware that the nutrition information of our Lean Shake Plus does not consider the nutrition content of the product you mix it with, so don’t forget to take that into account if you are counting macros and/or calories.
