    Labrada Nutrition, makers of Lean Body ready-to-drink (RTD) protein shakes, has partnered with Adams Beverages, a member of the Anheuser Busch direct store delivery network in North Carolina to expand its distribution reach across numerous counties in the state. This partnership will benefit both consumers and retailers statewide by leveraging the extensive logistical capabilities of each AB house to ensure efficient distribution of Lean Body's protein shakes.

    Kevin Kelley, the Non-Alcoholic portfolio manager at Adams Beverages, expressed his enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating, "Adams Beverages is excited to be partnering with Labrada/Lean Body. Filling a void for RTD protein was a major priority for our portfolio, and we hit the nail on the head. The customer feedback has been positively overwhelming! We look forward to the growth of the brand but more importantly the longevity of an incredible partnership."ne

    Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Labrada Nutrition is a family-owned-and-operated business founded in 1995 by IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Hall of Famer and former Mr. Universe Lee Labrada with “a commitment to furthering the health and wellness of its customers.”

    Lean Body Protein Shakes contain 40 grams of high-quality whey protein, zero grams of sugar and are available in eight RTD flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, Banana, Café Mocha and Mint Chocolate.
