The Pick & Mix Post // Blog

We're feeling especially 'Blue' this Monday, folks...nope, not down to the persistently awful British weather but because we've just got our hands on the new fruity & delicious limited edition Blueberry flavour Ä Nano Protein Pancakes!!Following hot on the heels of the new USN Cookies and pop-tart style Smart Tarts, fun jam-filled snacks are definitely very 'in' at the moment and to be fair to them, with their authentic, soft, Scotch-style pancakes and their generous, oozy filling, Nano Supp

Morning, folks! Happy Friday! Hope you're having a suitably sweet and satisfying breakfast to celebrate surviving another looooong (and way too rainy here in the UK!) working week!Huh? What's that? No??! You're so over oatmeal? Bored of bagels?! Can't face cereal?!!Never fear!! We've got just the thing to put a healthy little protein-packed pastry 'pop' into the most important meal of the day... The Smart Co.'s SMART TARTs!!Get your toaster at the ready, folks, as we got no less than 3 delicious

With broad stripes and bright stars (well, star-shaped 'Red, White and Blue' sprinkles, at least!) Merica Labz' much-anticipated, Independence Day special edition Patriot's Whey flavour - 'Independence Cake' - has finally exploded into the Mix in all its 'Merican, 'NEVER BIG ENOUGH' glory!So, who's for a history lesson? Haha, waaiiiitt..don't bolt just yet!Independence Day is far more than just an old alien movie starring the Fresh Prince (and the less said about the recent sequel the better)...

We've got a suitably 'Sunday-Funday' one for you here, folks (well, two to be precise!)...the brand new filled - yes, filled - USN TRUST Protein Cookies!! On the back of the success of their awesome TRUST Crunch Bars (a team fave!) we've played on 'TRUST-ing' USN when it comes to fun, foodie bits already...more specifically, though, I wonder if their real gift is for wonderfully excessive, over-the-top fillings; as you can see from our snack-stack photo, and following the lead set by the caram

As the temperature is beginning to drop and night starting to trespass more and more on the working day i'm minded that, soon enough, that wonderful scent of burning logs will fill the autumnal evening air (have to say...always kinda loved this time of year!) Jumping from crisp to CRISPY, though, fires don't just bring warmth and comfort...they offer ample opportunity to make a satisfyingly sticky mess by setting alight to foodstuffs that, well, weren't really designed to be set alight!!Whimsica

Whilst mince pies, Miniature Heroes and advent calendars are, unbelievably, already gracing supermarket shelves, it *does* feel kinda weird, barely into October, hitting you with this one...buuuttt, then again, neither we (nor Grenade) could WAIT to share this sweet, spiced sensation with you for another year!!That's right, folks...for Christmas 2019 you've got another chance (whilst limited edition stocks last!!) to catch Grenade's Gingerbread (man) Carb Killa protein bar!Truth be told, we neve

No matter the brand or snack, the timeless tag-team of Chocolate + Caramel always seems to win out; anecdotally, statistically or otherwise, this classic combo appears universally alluring.'Well, duh?!', some of you might say but, this in mind, it does seem odd that O.G #CheatClean kings, Quest Nutrition - makers of the first protein-packed food bar that indisputably bridged the snack-gap between 'functional' (boring) and 'candy' (fun!) - had, until now, not flirted with this Holy Grail sweet-tr

It's official, folks (it should that be 'OAT-ficial' in this case? That work?!)...abundantly textured, crunchy bars and snacks are definitely 'in'!! In the last 2 weeks alone we've had a new USN Trust Crunch bar flavour, the new Applied Protein Crunch bars and, just last week, two new Applied Indulgence Squares...now? No less than FOUR epic flavours - 2 veggie, 2 vegan - of the brand new Oatein Millionaire Crunch bars!That's a whole lotta CRuNcHhhh!!!It has to be said, in terms of the
