Munch Better has two protein brownie formats: MAX and LEAN. Both are baked protein brownies, but they are designed around different serving sizes and nutrition targets.
The simplest distinction is portion. MAX is the larger 65g format. LEAN is the smaller 35g format. From there, protein, collagen, calories, carbohydrates, and sugar differ accordingly.
If you want the shortcut, take the Protein Brownie Finder and answer six quick questions to narrow the line and flavor that best matches what you tell us you want.
MAX vs. LEAN at a glance
| MAX | LEAN | |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size | 65g | 35g |
| Protein | 25–29g depending on flavor | 15g |

| Calories | Varies by flavor | 140 |
| Carbohydrates | Varies by flavor | 7–8g depending on flavor |
| Sugar | Varies by flavor | 1–4g depending on flavor |
Because MAX nutrition varies by flavor, check the current product page or package for exact flavor-specific macros.
What is the MAX Series?
MAX is Munch Better’s larger protein brownie format. Each brownie weighs 65g and provides 25–29g of total protein depending on flavor, plus 15g of collagen.
The larger portion makes MAX the more substantial of the two formats. If your comparison starts with “Which one gives me more protein per brownie?” MAX is the answer, but the serving is also considerably larger.
What is the LEAN Series?
LEAN is a smaller 35g brownie with 15g of total protein, 7g of collagen, and 140 calories.
Current LEAN flavors contain 7–8g of total carbohydrates and 1–4g of total sugar depending on flavor. Chocolate Fudge, PB Blast!, and Hazelnutty contain 1g of sugar; Dulce de Leche contains 4g.
LEAN is not simply a smaller MAX brownie. It is its own format with its own flavor lineup and formula details.
Which one has more protein?
MAX provides more total protein per brownie: 25–29g depending on flavor versus 15g in LEAN.
That comparison should be read alongside serving size. MAX is 65g; LEAN is 35g. Looking at both numbers prevents a larger serving from being compared with a smaller one as though the portions were identical.
Which one has more collagen?
MAX contains 15g of collagen per brownie, while LEAN contains 7g.
Collagen is one component of the protein approach, not the same number as total protein. If you want to understand that distinction in more detail, read What Is Collagen in Protein Snacks?
Which one is the smaller portion?
LEAN. At 35g, it is almost half the weight of the 65g MAX brownie.
That can be useful when the deciding factor is simply how large a packaged snack you want at that moment. MAX is the more substantial format; LEAN is the smaller one.
What about calories, carbs, and sugar?
LEAN has a consistent 140-calorie target across the current line. Its flavors contain 7–8g of carbohydrates and 1–4g of sugar depending on flavor.
MAX macros vary by flavor. Rather than publish one category-wide calorie, carbohydrate, or sugar number, use the current package or product page for the flavor you are evaluating.
For a systematic way to compare the numbers, use our protein snack nutrition-label guide.
How do the flavor lineups differ?
The two lines have different flavor assortments. MAX includes larger-format flavors such as Death by Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Caramel Craze, Caramel Macchiato, Coconut, and others in the current assortment. LEAN includes Chocolate Fudge, PB Blast!, Hazelnutty, and Dulce de Leche.
Availability can change, so the current collection pages are the best source for what is in stock now.
Which one is better?
Neither line is universally better. The useful question is what you want from the serving.
- Choose MAX when: you want the larger 65g format and the higher protein amount per brownie.
- Choose LEAN when: you want the smaller 35g format with 15g of protein and a 140-calorie serving.
The choice is about portion, nutrition profile, flavor, and the snack occasion—not a blanket health ranking.
Can you try multiple flavors first?
Yes. If flavor is the bigger question than format, browse Munch Better sampler packs to compare available assortments before committing to a full box.
The bottom line
MAX and LEAN solve the same broad problem in two different sizes. MAX is a 65g brownie with 25–29g of protein depending on flavor and 15g of collagen. LEAN is a 35g brownie with 15g of protein, 7g of collagen, and 140 calories.
