'Mocha Monday' over here in the Mix, folks!! How so? Well, not only has it been a coffee-fuelled one, pretty standard for the forever-frenzied start to the Pick&Mix week, but there's been an inordinate amount of chocolate involved too, thanks to the insane number of Swolesome Easter goodies you guys have 'picked' over the weekend!Oh, and not to mention the NEW Nuts 'n More Mocha Cappuccino we finally got our hands on!! That's right, Nuts 'n More's latest protein-infused, fun, flavoured peanu

Who's looking forward to the weekend?! Better yet...who's looking forward to SUMMER?! Well, end of the week and getting on into April, BOTH are tantalisingly close and, speaking of tantalising...take a look this gorgeous new (non-alcoholic but nicely caffeinated!) 'tipple' from NOCCO!! Yep, getting just a little bit of a headstart on meteorological summer, NOCCO's newest BCAA and vitamin-enrich energy drink, Miami, has arrived in the Mix! ⁣ This sweet & sour, strawberry-flavoured sensa

With Easter only 2 weeks away, it's definitely about time we gave a little shout-out to our buddies over at Cocoa+ who, once again, have all your low sugar/high protein/fully anabolic chocolate needs covered!! This year? Not only have their big, ever-popular chocolate eggs been made fully 'good + more good' with premium, super-sexy - and infinitely giftable!! - new Harlequin-style packaging but we have, all-new for 2019, packs of gorgeous, gold-foiled Cocoa+ Mini Eggs!!!I'm sure I don't nee

It's been a long-time coming (2+ years!) but...MTS Nutrition Machine Whey has muscled its way, in all its dessert-y glory, back into the Mix! BOOM!!Why's it called 'Machine Whey'? Easy! It's a whey protein worthy of MTS head honcho Marc 'The Machine' Lobliner himself, and anyone who knows who Marc Lobliner is knows he doesn't mess about...not with his advice, his business, his training programmes and, of course, not with his supplements!This has lead Marc to create an awesome range of supps, wor

Well, it seems like the Sun is FINALLY showing its face in the UK again!! Sure, it might trigger the odd bout of early hayfever but, whether just a Vitamin D top-up or otherwise, very worth it and very welcome. Sun = SO GOOD! Especially as the Sun reminds us Summer is coming!...you know what ELSE is So(l) Good?! Sunwarrior's plant-based protein bars (see what I did there?!)I'm a little ashamed to admit that Sunwarrior's 'Sōl Good' vegan bars haven't been given too much love in the Mix

The Weekly Roundup - March Week 4 (18/03/19 - 24/03/19) at The Protein Pick and Mix! Gaahhh....another frenzy here, folks! After promising a very-vegan-video this week, with a few surprise launches (honestly, we don't control some of these things!! Things in this industry can move FAST! Haha...TOO fast!) we've had to reshuffle just a touch. Don't worry, though, Ant still covers most of the bases (racing and repeating himself, as always!) and, yep, PLENTY of intimate choccy closeups and ca

...the first of many awesome new GHOST arrivals this year, their great-tasting EAA + BCAA + Hydration formula, AMINO, has been levelled-up!!So, rewind, what's GHOST Amino all about anyway? Well, one of two GHOST Lifestyle intra-workout, recovery-fuelling offerings, AMINO V2 is the fuller-featured of the pair, leaning more heavily on the Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and leaving the Branch Chain Amino Acids to their dedicated BCAA product.All fine and dandy...with us so far? As usual with GHOST, t

After a crispy, crunchy, choc-coated, cravings-killing low sugar snack? Well, of course you are!! No duh!Well, we're pleased and proud to announce, with the arrival of these epic multi-layered crisp protein bars, you can once again get your 'Forti-FIX' in the Mix!!FortiFX is a brand with a fair bit of heritage in the Mix....in fact, one of the first snacks I ever listed waaaay back in 2013 was the FortiFX Peanut Butter Cup bar (RIP)! The tasty triple-layer decadence of that one blew me away righ
