Happy Monday, folks...or, given what i'm introducing here, perhaps I should say, Happy (Opti-)Monday! Either way, for those of you reading this and not transfixed by the Love Island final, hope you had an awesome weekend!It's true it's been a bit of a slower month for the industry and tasty, exciting new protein snacks and supps have been few and far between but...we've got a few somewhat tantalising treats lined-up for you this week, starting with... Optimum Nutrition's latest Optimum Bar! Yep,

Yikes...thought it couldn't get any hotter than our launch of GHOST Burn last week? Well, yes...yes it can!! Haha...and heating up still further into the weekend? I'm THIS close to catching a flight to Turkey to cool down! :DAside from 35 degrees making it tough to get anything much done, the bigger (scarier!!) heat-headache when it comes to day-to-pay protein-y Picking & Mixing? Melting snacks!! Nooooo! Haha...we're going to have to manfully eat SO many squidgy, sticky snacks! It's a living

Reaching back to the Rockies for snack inspo, Muscle Moose (makers of Moose Juice and, of course, their original guilt-free dessert delight, Muscle Mousse) have surprised with a low sugar, high protein treat dubbed the 'Beaver Bar'!!Available in two great chocolate-coated flavours to start - Choc Caramel and White Chocolate - each Beaver Bar is, well, kinda *two* bars...nope, we're not talking bites here but...fingers!! Yep, in each pack you'll discover, delivered KitKat style, two satisfyi

The Weekly Roundup - July Week 2 (08/07/19 - 14/07/19) at The Protein Pick and Mix! Between dealing with holidays and hot weather, it's time for another Weekly Roundup! A slightly less jam-packed one, we dive into a little more detail on some of the latest, greatest arrivals this week, starting with... SNACKS! First up? Applied Nutrition's first much-anticipated foray into plant-based protein snacks, with the vegan-friendly Indulgence Bar... Belgian (Dark) Choc Caramel!! Rich, real chocolate

It's getting hot up in here...and we're not just talking about the mini (and unpleasantly sticky) UK heatwave we're seeing at the moment! Nope, we're talking about the arrival of GHOST® Burn, of course!!⁠Far more than just a 'fat burner', GHOST Lifestyle Burn is a cocktail of carefully selected stimulants, nootropics and more, making it an an awesome choice whether you're looking for all-day, everyday energy, to 'combat physique destroyers of any kind', or even to fuel a satisfyingly sweaty gym

It was always going to happen...Applied Nutrition are on a bit of a roll with their popular crispy, crunchy, chocolatey, dunkable Indulgence Squares and, buoyed with their snack-success, they're giving plant-based a try (shock) and, as of right now, they have the vegan-friendly Belgian (Dark) Choc Caramel joining their right-angular ranks!What are we talking here? Well, impressively, very much of the same tasty, textured Indulgence experience you've come to love in the regular range...a crispy b

First? The candy kings at Warheads®...now? The grape gods at Welch's®! GHOST Lifestyle have, again, gone above and beyond to deliver an 'authentic AF' collab flavouring system, this time? We get to enjoy it in their revamped AMINO V2!At this point we hardly need to delve into detail on the fully-loaded intra-workout amino acid arsenal that is Ghost Lifestyle AMINO....packing BCAAs (going heavy on the all-important L-Leucine) and EAAs (all 6 of them, at that!) alongside a comprehensive cocktail o

FINAFLEX, anyone? No?! Me neither. This side of the Atlantic, FINAFLEX is, sadly, little known...but, after a couple of bites of the jumbo sandwich (yes, I said SANDWICH) cookie I just opened? I'm thinking we need to get familiar with them pretty fast!So, introducing something wonderfully different here...a sensational snack its creators have dubbed an 'Oatmeal Protein Pie'!!It's a good shout to say that any snack with 'Pie' proudly emblazoned on its packaging - and cookies evidently involved -
