Our 'Merican Bald Eagle has sh*t to do! No...he's sipping on a cool can of '

With a gorgeous new look, Sparta Nutrition are ready for BATTLE with their new Spartan Whey!Now available in 2lb tubs and sensational new flavours (cereal-themed and the rest), an (astonishingly) fully-disclosed, premium quality mixed whey blend and amazing nutritionals to match, the cute colours on display are FAR from the only eye-catching things about these stunning shakes!As you guys have probably noticed, we keep a keen look-out for exciting new snacks and supps and, with their strikin

Ermm...yes, please!!At this point, we'd be really surprised if you hadn't picked up a KIND bar at some point over the last couple of years. They're huge in the brand's native America and they quickly exploded over here in the UK too, quickly making it into the Mix (o

BOOST mode, on!!Haha...sorry, couldn't resist launching in with that line!! Yep, as if you couldn't see it coming, Cadbury's have jumped on the protein bandwagon and, to be fair, it's a pretty storming start! What else to 'boost' with extra protein than...a Boost!!
