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

The Weekly Roundup - March Week 3 (11/03/19 - 17/03/19) at The Protein Pick and Mix! Things start to get just a little frantic now as new goodies start arriving thick and fast ahead of the Summer! Indeed, long though this week's Roundup is, we STILL haven't be able to cover all the exciting new arrivals and restocks we've enjoyed! But we do our best! ;-)This week, Quest's new Chocolate Hazelnut flavour bars get put in the 'snack-light' (amazing real hazelnut chunks and

Answer this riddle, folks...'How do you boost a boosted BOOST?...Easy!! You add PEANUTS, of course!We often find that the addition of peanuts (or peanut butter or, well, pretty much ANY nut or nutty bi-product, come to that!) is often the answer to many a confectionery conundrum when it comes to making the best *even better* and it would seem, that unsurprisingly, Cadbury UK know that only too well!⁣This in mind, building on the deliciously unexpected launch of the protein-infused, lower sugar C

Assaulted adrenals aside, when push comes to shove, I find nothing helps to survive a manic Monday quite like caffeine. An abundance of it. Administered via strong, steaming mugs of java? Great. Tried & tested. But when administered via a can of crisp, chilled, sugarfree 3D Energy? EVER BETTER! And when administered via a can of crisp, chilled, sugarfree 3D Energy *in a whole new flavour*?!!! Well...you get the idea!The story of this particular mid-month Monday? The latest luscious lilac libatio

Landing with a BOOM, and offering a suitably satisfying amount of sweet-treatness for The Protein Pick and Mix, not one but *two* new OUTRIGHT bars from Marc Lobliner and MTS Nutrition!Crammed with protein and the healthy real-food awesomeness now synonymous with the OUTRIGHT bar, i'm going to put it out there right now....these 2 newbies are the __best__ OUTRIGHT bar flavours yet (and that's no mean feat!!)Not only do both bars look incredible (OUTRIGHT has had one hell of a makeover!
