BETTER THAN BEEF

Maya Leinenbach’s brand Fitgreenmind is a true success story. Nearly 7 million people follow the food influencer on social media, drawn to her simple and creative plant-based recipes. Now, at just 21 years old, she is launching her first documentary format.

​

On Mallorca, Maya Leinenbach takes on her biggest challenge yet: cooking for a celebrity she has always wanted to meet in person—her childhood idol, former professional soccer player René Adler. René is a true foodie who loves fish and meat. With the humor and curiosity her fans know and love from her social channels, Maya reimagines his favorite tapas her own way—plant-based and completely free of animal products. Can she convince René that her tapas are “better than beef”?

​

In this film, Maya also opens up on a deeply personal level—about the highs and lows of her life as a social media star—and, along the way, discovers surprising parallels with her sports idol René Adler.
