Protein spread recipes

Sports and active nutrition brand bulk has launched their delicious yet nutritious protein spreads, providing chocolatey goodness with 20 grams of protein yet only a teaspoon of sugar. You can drool over three flavours: Chocolate Hazelnut, White Chocolate Hazelnut, and White Chocolate Pistachio.

The irresistible, creamy spreads are the perfect balance between indulgent treat and healthy snack, whether you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, or you’re in need of a post-workout protein hit. 

Made with real nuts, no added sugar, no palm oil, and packed with over 20g of protein per 100g, the scrumptious spread can be added to a shake or smoothie, spread on toast or pancakes, or even just spooned straight from the jar – they’re that good!

We were kindly gifted two jars to try out ourselves. They taste amazing. The pistachio flavour in particular is to die for. It was very difficult to stop myself eating it out of the jar with a spoon! We would recommend! For more recipes click here.
