5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Product--Only Order it From Amazon: Here's Why!
I absolutely LOVE this shake. It tastes so good, that it is like having a treat! I drink it every morning for a quick, easy, filling breakfast. I also have it for dinner sometimes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but I've tasted better.
I read about this product in many fitness magazines, stating that It really works and that it tastes very good. As soon as it arrived I could not wait to try it. The taste was ok, better than other protein shakes but still had a little after taste. The shake tasted better with some ice blended in with the mixture, that way it was very cold. The product did help with...

DO NOT order this product from the Nutrition 53 website. They are more expensive, they charge outrageous shipping, and the fine print tricks you into enrolling in their automatic shipment program. Their customer service also stinks. Stick with amazon.com and try this amazing product. You will love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delish!!! Fills you up too!, January 17, 2009

I love this shake and it works just like it says.
You get tons of energy and it fills you up for hours.
A bit expensive but worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for athletes or people on-the-go..., January 16, 2008
By 
Caroline R. (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
As a runner, I have been evaluating many different nutritional supplements and have not until now found one that had a great balance of nutrition with great flavor. Lean1 has a roughly 30-40-30 fat to protein to carbohydrate ratio along with fiber to help satisfy hunger. It has a proprietary whey protein blend base like many other nutritional supplements but also includes a great blend of fruits and vegetables for added nutrition which I have not seen in other products. I have also found that Lean1 tastes a lot better than other popular protein shakes. My personal favorite is the chocolate flavor but I have tried all available flavors and they are also very good.

I use Lean1 primarily as pre-workout supplement and found it to work great. I often find it difficult to time a meal before workouts so that my stomach does not get upset, especially during long workouts. At approximately 200 calories per serving, Lean1 is satisfying enough to fuel a long workout but is not so dense that it is counterproductive to weight loss or weight maintenance efforts.

The other great use I found for Lean1 is good nutrition on-the-go. Personally I spend a lot of time traveling and find that the available alternatives when pressed for time are generally not good choices for health conscious people. Lean1 comes in individual serving size packets which are easily portable and provide much better nutrition in a pinch.

5.0 out of 5 stars D. Wagganer, Photographer, Gerald, MO, USA, March 2, 2010
By 
This review is from: Nutrition 53 Lean 1 Vanilla, 2 lbs Tub (Health and Beauty)
Nutrition 53 Lean 1 has totally blown me away! I have been using nutrition performance products for almost 15 years. Never have I come across a product that scores a "100%" in every category.

Taste: I have tried the Vanilla and the Chocolate. Both flavors are great, but I must admit that the Chocolate is the BEST of any products I have ever tried. It is almost too good!

Prep: I use a blender most of the time, but have used a shaker. Either works well, and gives a smooth, non-gritty end result. Because it mixes well with water and taste great it is perfect to pack along. I am a photographer, and can be out in the country, far, far, away from civilization, for many hours and Lean 1 provides quick, easy fuel.

Performance: I use two scoops for breakfast, before a workout, and this holds me until lunch! UNREAL! I don't get hungry for about 3.5 hours. The same is true after lunch. So, I am good until dinner.

Weight Loss: After only 3 days of usage and I have lost weight. I almost past out! I am shall we say, "49 forever", and have several issues that make weight loss a difficult proposition. So, I am THRILLED beyond belief!

Nutrition: Have you read the ingredient list? It is like reading the "The Top 40" of best ingredients. You would think you were drinking a multi-vitamin. Pro:Carb:Fat ratio is excellent. I love that it contains so many antioxidents. Superior design all the way!

Other: Lean 1 does not sit heavy on your stomach. Some performance products are like eating a brick.

Thank you Nutrition 53.

The taste was ok, better than other protein shakes but still had a little after taste. The shake tasted better with some ice blended in with the mixture, that way it was very cold. The product did help with hunger control which I was very impressed.(I would drink the shake along with some fresh fruit on the side) I would purchase again, but this time I will purchase the chocolate flavor over the vanilla. Maybe the chocolate flavor will be more delicious!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy, yummy in my tummy, tummy!, March 29, 2009
My cousin recommended this to me since we're all on a diet/work-out frenzy. I've only tried the following flavors: chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, and vanilla raspberry. My favorite is the vanilla raspberry. It tastes wonderful -- I don't have to plug my nose while drinking. However, my cousin likes the chocolate and vanilla flavors the best, so I guess it really just depends on your preference. She claimed vanilla raspberry was too sweet for her.

I started using this a little over a month ago and I've lost almost ten pounds. I've been exercising a little more than normal (which used to be never), so I'm sure that's aiding with the success. I've replaced breakfast and lunch with the shake, so it's keeping me away from two bad meals a day. My dinner is pretty much what I used to eat, just smaller portions.

The price may seem a bit high, but it's totally worth it. The first tub I ordered was from the actual nutrition53 site. The total for one tub came to almost $75 including tax and shipping. Amazon is great for ordering this since you don't have to worry about tax or shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, March 13, 2009
By 
Marc (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews
I've been taking Lean1 for 2 months now. I usually have it for breakfast in the morning, and then sometimes for dinner at night, or maybe for lunch on the weekends. It's a great product. The Cookies N Creme is the best flavor I've had. I add some ice to it when I put it in my small blender, and makes it more of a shake and that makes it a lot better for me.

I've dropped almost 20 pounds in the past 8 weeks while taking this, cutting out calories and exercising, so I would say this definitely is a great product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, But Expensive, May 17, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I tried this product and it seems to give me an extra boost when I work out or play weekend sports. The chocolate flavor is a little strange at first, but overall better than many other drinks. I tried the cookies n creme flavor and thought it was awful. I'll stick with chocolate from now on. Seems to work best when not taken every single day. 2-3 times a week is probably good so as the body does not get used to it. I do not use this as a meal replacement, just as an energy booster. But maybe I'll do the meal replacement thing when I get serious about going on a strict diet. I do think this is too expensive and think it should be $10 bucks less than it is sold for......
