BALANCE COMPLETE AT A GLANCE

  • High in protein (12 grams of protein per serving)
  • Formulated with whey protein to help support muscle growth and recovery

  • Helps support cleansing of the digestive system
  • Helps support a healthy immune system
  • A great choice for a meal replacement with a delicious vanilla flavor

Balance Complete is one of our favorite pantry staples for making a quick, delicious, nutritious meal! Whether you need something for a day full of errands, a quick out the door shake, or are working on weight loss and cleansing goals, this powder will quickly become your favorite.

Balance Complete is different from protein powder in that it is a nutritive energizer and a cleanser. It contains brown rice bran, barley grass, and extra virgin coconut oil, so it is high in fiber, protein, and minerals - things that typical protein powders don't contain. You can mix Balance Complete with Young Living's Pure Protein Complete as well (a favorite trick!) to get a wide variety of proteins, vitamins, minerals and fiber.

BACKGROUND Balance Complete is a superfood-based meal replacement powder that contains the perfect balance of fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to provide the essential nutrients your body needs. This delicious vanilla powder mixes easily into a smoothie, water or milk, satisfies your appetite, and supports overall health from the inside out.
