That's how EVERYONE feels the end of every weekend? Ah, right.

The Weekly Roundup - February Week 4 (28/01/19 - 03/02/19) at The Protein Pick and Mix!

We wanted to finish January strong and what else but an all-new Swolesome FunderBar launch would do?!Looking ahead to the 'LOVEliest' day of the year (although, to be fair, a late August bank holiday is always pretty damn lovely!!) in a couple of weeks time, Maddie's crafted a suitably soft, sweet and creamy creation, GUARANTEED to romance your tastebuds...introducing, as a super *Ltd Edition* for Valentine's Day...the 'Cookies & Dreamy' FunderBar!!In this latest handmade Swole-creation, ima

We've had new Snickers, Carrot Cake, Mug Cake, Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter...as much as it seems that January 2019 has shot by in a flash, looking back, we've actually managed to cram quite a bit in over here in the Mix, and we hope the month has been similarly action-packed for you guys out there as you've been striving towards your New Years goals, smashing PBs and the rest!We have one final little launch for you all tomorrow to close out the month (you're going to LOVE it!!) but, for right no

At last, the wait - the 'Carrot Countdown', if you will - is OVER...the new Frosted Carrot Cake Battle Bites have arrived!!Maybe you find yourself asking, 'what's SO exciting about these' - or, to coin an uncannily appropriate phrase, perhaps something along the lines of, 'Ehhh, What's up Doc?' - and the answer, aside from the obvious (er...it's CARROT CAKE flavoured!), is that it's made by the one and only Battle Snacks (Haha...AND that we've been waiting for it for what seems like an eter
