The Weekly Roundup - November Week 3 (12/11/18 - 18/11/18) at The Protein Pick and Mix! Well, November has DISAPPEARED on us, huh? With Black Friday around the corner and Father Christmas waiting in the wings, 2018 isn't going to go quietly and, after missing a week last week, we're back with a bumper 'weekly' roundup to catch you up with alllll the goings on in the Mix this month (and give you a heads-up on Black 'Pink' Friday ahead!) LOADS of things for 'show and tell' this week - so, yep

It's SO nearly the weekend, folks!! As we countdown the final few hours of Friday, it reminds us of another countdown we will very soon be enjoying (and PARTICULARLY so, as chocolate is often involved!!)...the Christmas countdown!!Yep...just over 2 weeks to go until we snowball into December, and we can't wait to dive into one of Cocoa Plus's gorgeous new Protein Milk Chocolate Advent Calendars!!These are always a good (plus more good!) way to see in the Christmas crescendo, with not only g

You can't say 'Hognuts' without with the word (or should that be onomatopoeia) 'Ho' - as in 'Ho, Ho, Ho!' - and Christmas just ain't Christmas without a Hognuts Christmas Pudding blend!!Was ever and thus in the Mix - right from our earliest beginnings! - and, despite things being decidedly (and obviously disappointingly!) quiet on the Hognuts front over the last 6 months, there was NO way we were going to go a year without this sweetly-spiced, sensational, seasonal signature blend!!!

Warming up seems to be a bit of a hot topic at the moment, from stretching to foam rolling and all sorts of weird warm-up exercises, personally?... I don’t do any of that!Don’t get me wrong, it may help, but honestly, I’ve never noticed much of a difference from the long drawn out fancy warm-ups. Below is how I get ready for a session, I may also do some warm-up sets on the first exercise to get a feel, but this is where I get most of the work in. It’s a quick and great way to get the blood pump

What's this? A giant, new cookie from Messrs Lenny & Larry on a weekend?!! AND following hot on the heels of the latest SinFit Protein Cookie (Pumpkin Spice, for those who missed it!)? Surely enough to bring out the cookie monster in us all! That in mind, say hello, my fellow monsters, to White Chocolaty Razzberry!!!Lenny & Larry's is a brand that hardly needs any introduction...and especially not in the Mix! As far back as we can remember, the distinctive, chunky, sweet and generous coo

To this day Darth Maul is still by far my favourite villain from all the Star Wars films, despite having roughly 3 lines in the film.His entire look, from the horns, black caped outfit, crazy acrobatic moves and the awesome double lightsaber just scream badass baddie!
