Sunrider NuPlus: What It Is, What's In It, and How to Use It

Updated August 10, 20268 min readBy Eden Shuster
The short answer

What is Sunrider NuPlus used for?

NuPlus is Sunrider's concentrated whole-food herbal base — a powder built from whole grains, herbs and vegetables that is intended to be eaten daily as a food rather than taken as a supplement. It supplies micronutrients, prebiotic fibre, amino acids, bioflavonoids and antioxidants, and is most commonly mixed with water, blended into a shake, or stirred into oatmeal or yoghurt. A 10-packet box costs $32.64 through the official Sunrider store, which works out to roughly $3.26 per serving. It suits people who want food-form nutrition as a daily foundation; it is not a high-dose isolated supplement and is not designed to produce a fast, drug-like effect.

What does NuPlus taste like?

The Original is mild, nutty and lightly sweet — closer to a toasted grain drink than a flavoured protein powder. Naturally flavoured versions are available for people who prefer something sweeter, and SunnyDew stevia is the usual way people adjust it.

Sunrider NuPlus powder in a glass beside whole grains and herbs

NuPlus is the product most people start with, and the one most people misunderstand. It is not a protein powder and not a multivitamin — it is a concentrated food, and using it well means treating it that way.

What NuPlus actually is

NuPlus is built from whole grains, herbs and vegetables processed into a concentrated powder. The design goal is food-form nutrition: instead of isolating a nutrient and dosing it high, the formula concentrates whole ingredients so a daily serving carries a broad spread of micronutrients, prebiotic fibre, amino acids and plant compounds.

This is Sunrider's Philosophy of Regeneration in its most literal form — nourish the body consistently with whole foods rather than stimulate or suppress a system with an isolated active.

How to use NuPlus day to day

The simplest method is one packet in 4–8 oz of water, stirred or shaken. For a fuller meal, blend it with fruit, a protein source and a liquid of your choice — this is the standard way people use it as a breakfast replacement.

It also works stirred into oatmeal, yoghurt or a smoothie bowl, which many people find easier than drinking it. One to two servings a day is typical, and unlike a supplement there is no cycling or loading protocol.

  • Quick: 1 packet in 4–8 oz water
  • Meal: blend with fruit, protein and liquid
  • Food: stir into oatmeal, yoghurt or a smoothie bowl
  • Frequency: 1–2 servings daily, ongoing

Flavours and how to make it taste good

The Original is deliberately plain — mild, nutty, faintly sweet, closer to a toasted grain drink than to a dessert-flavoured powder. People coming from sweetened commercial shakes usually find it underwhelming on day one and fine by day five.

Naturally flavoured versions exist, and SunnyDew (a purified stevia concentrate) is the usual adjustment. A few drops changes the experience entirely without adding sugar or carbohydrate.

Price and value per serving

A 10-packet box is $32.64 through the official store, or about $3.26 per serving. Compared with a supermarket meal-replacement shake that looks expensive; compared with a breakfast bought out, it does not.

For daily users, the larger canister formats bring the per-serving cost down meaningfully. If you plan to use it every morning, buy the bulk format rather than repeat packet boxes.

Who NuPlus is and isn't for

It suits people who want a whole-food nutritional foundation that takes 60 seconds, who under-eat vegetables and fibre, and who prefer food-form nutrition over a cabinet of isolated capsules.

It is a poor fit for anyone looking for a clinically dosed single nutrient, anyone who wants a high-protein shake (NuPlus is a food base, not a protein product — pair it with SunFit Protein Plus for that), and anyone shopping strictly on cost per calorie.
