New Everything but the Cow (Natural protein for muscle recovery)
Everything But The Cow’s unique blend of 7g NON GMO soya protein and 20% real fruit, makes it a perfect shake for pre workout energy and post workout repair, or for people who want a healthier and fruitier choice of soft drink.
The shakes are available in three tasty new flavours – Mango & Orange, Strawberry & Raspberry and Banana & Kiwi – all of which are 100% natural and free from artificial flavours, artificial sweeteners, additives and preservatives.
Thanks to Everything But The Cow’s key soya ingredient, the shakes are also dairy-free, fat free and low calorie and despite blending soya with real fruit, they contain half the amount of sugar found in leading fruit juices, as they contain no refined sugar and just a hint of honey.
Everything But The Cow soya protein and real fruit shakes are now available nationwide at Holland & Barrett and retail at £2.49 for 330ml.

NEW Natures Best chocolate protein bars (post exercise hunger pangs)
Nature’s Best Chocolate Protein Bars contain a smooth fudge-like centre with chocolate filling and are just 194 calories. If you find yourself feeling empty post exercise out try eating one of these to help fill the gap. Protein takes longer to be digested than confectionary bars or fizzy drinks full of carbohydrates and fats and it uses more energy which leaves you feeling fuller for longer and able to avoid those big swings in blood sugar levels. So pop a bar in your bag ready for when hunger strikes so your hard work at the gym isn’t not compromised by filling up on sugar after a workout.
Nature’s Best Chocolate Protein Bars cost £16.95 for 12 bars available from www.naturesbest.co.uk
