Xendurance Plant Protein + Greens Review
Updated November 2022 from my product overview · Filmed when it was called Lean · 1 video
My score: 4.5 out of 5
Most vegan proteins and greens powders taste like lawn clippings. This one is two products in one bag, 20 grams of pea and chickpea protein plus a serving of superfood greens, and it tastes like cookie dough with no artificial sweeteners. I use it as a recovery shake and, honestly, as dessert. The catch is my video is a short overview from back when it was called Lean, not a long-term test.
Buy it if
- Buy it if you want a vegan protein that doesn't taste like dirt.
- Buy it if you skip your greens and want them in the same shake as your protein.
- Buy it if you want something that works as a recovery shake, a quick meal or a dessert.
Skip it if
- Skip it if you want the most protein per dollar. A plain whey will beat it.
- Skip it if you hate sweet flavors. It tastes like cookie dough.

Before you buy
What I don't love
It changed names
My video calls it Lean. Xendurance now sells the same product as Plant Protein + Greens, so don't let the old name throw you.
Overview, not a long test
My video walks through what it is and how it tastes. It isn't a months-long review.

The long version
My full Xendurance Plant Protein + Greens review
Who this one is for
Plant Protein + Greens is for the guy who wants a vegan protein but has been burned by how most of them taste. It's also for anybody who skips their greens and would rather get them in the same shake as their protein.
The name changed, so don't get confused
My video calls this product Lean, or Lean Protein. That's what it was called when I filmed it in November 2022. Xendurance now sells the same product as Plant Protein + Greens.
That video is a 90 second product overview I made as a leader with Team XND. It walks through what it is and how it tastes. It's not a months-long test.
What's in it
It's a vegan protein plus superfood greens. You get 20 grams of vegan protein from pea and chickpea sources, and a full serving of superfood greens.
There's no artificial flavoring and no artificial sweeteners in it.
Two products in one bag
This is the main thing it does well. You're not just getting a vegan protein, and you're not just getting a greens product. You're getting the two in one.
So when you line it up against other stuff on the market that's only a vegan protein or only a greens powder, they're not the same thing. You get both in one scoop.
How it tastes
If you've ever tried a vegan protein or a greens product before, they probably didn't taste that great. That's where this one really sets itself apart.
It's a cookie dough flavor, and it tastes awesome. If you hate sweet flavors, that's worth knowing before you order.
How I use it
You can use it as a recovery shake after a workout, as a daily meal replacement, or as an afternoon snack.
I use it as dessert.
The catches
My video is short. It doesn't cover calories, carbs, what's in the greens blend or how many servings are in a bag, so check the label for that.
And like I said, it's an overview from when the product had a different name, not a long-term review.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a vegan protein that actually tastes good, and you like the idea of getting your greens in the same shake.
