OUR ETHOS

Our Why

Everything we do at Lean Bean is built around our belief in the old aged saying 'your health is your wealth', and we believe this starts with your nutrition. We think it should be easy to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. The way we achieve this is by designing nutritionally dense, affordable and convenient products. We just happen to make great tasting food.

Scratch Cooking

We get deliveries every morning of whole fruit & vegetables. Our team then slices & dices, adds spices, herbs & oils, before baking or roasting, and finally assembling your order. This way our food tastes great and is packed full of nutrition.

Transparency

It’s really important to us that we are clear about what goes into our food. We provide nutritional info via myfitnesspal and the calories displayed includes a portion of chicken. You just have to add a dressing and here we show the sugar levels because we know a lot of dressings can be high in sugar and can turn a healthy salad into well not healthy. You won’t find any sugar in our kitchens, if we need to make something sweeter, we just use honey/maple syrup.

Sustainability

We are always trying to reduce our carbon footprint. Over 90% of all our packaging is now compostable with some of the remaining being used from either plant based or recycled plant-based material which is 90% less carbon.

OUR STORY

This is a little bit about how we got started. It was 2015, I was 25 and working in Dublin’s city centre. I spent a large chunk of my day at a desk and was finding it quite hard to find places to get healthy meals for lunch. I used to eat tasteless salads, snack on chocolate protein bars, cereal bars and the likes which were marketed as ‘healthy’. I learned what I was eating was in fact highly processed and high in sugar. It was here the idea started for Lean Bean. I wanted to provide actual healthy food options to busy people. What healthy food means to us at Lean Bean is food made from scratch using quality ingredients with no additives or preservatives. We try to give a balanced offering, low in sugar, high in nutrients and very high in taste. We want to provide all of this fast and with a smile. I hope you try us out and if you don't have a good experience please let us know. - The Owner

OUR COFFEE

100% Arabica roasted in Birdhill, Tipperary. It’s a blend from Brazil, Guatemala, & Honduras. When the season changes, the bean from Guatemala can run out so if it does it gets replaced with a bean from Columbia. The blend is rich and full bodied with notes of dark stone fruits, cacao & roasted nuts.

We use high end equipment to extract the best espresso from the beans we use. This is combined with our expert Barista’s skill & knowledge, along with quality filtered water & organic milk sourced from Carlow delivering a high-end coffee we can be proud of.

OUR TEA

We have a wide range of herbal teas by Niks Tea. Niks tea is an Irish company. Nik’s Tea is an award-winning supplier of imported teas from around the world. ‘With a passion for tea, we will go to the ends of the earth to find the teas we believe you’re going to love.’
