The gains don’t stop for the festive season – and that roast turkey can only take their macros so far. Know someone who would rather switch their Christmas pudding for a protein bar? Here are some powered-up present ideas for the gym-lover in your life.
The ideal stocking filler for those who want to deck their cupboards with protein. They can savour the delightful blend of chocolate and raspberry flavours with our low-sugar, high-protein bar. With three delicious flavours to choose from, each bar is coated in rich dark chocolate and crispiness for a satisfying crunch. Plus, our new packaging is so fancy you might even save on wrapping paper.
You’re onto a winner here... This was crowned 'Best Protein Powder' at the 2022 European Specialist Sports Nutrition Awards. Packed with 20g of protein per serving from fast-absorbing hydrolysed whey protein isolate, it quickly supports the muscles while delivering a burst of refreshingly juicy flavour. What’s more, protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.
This pocket-sized protein sachet is ideal for a stocking filler or even a funny Christmas decoration. With 22g of protein and just 108 calories per serving, this vanilla-flavoured powder is formulated to contribute to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.
It can be added to smoothies, cold drinks or used in baking recipes such as blondies, brownies, pancakes and protein balls for a delicious vanilla-flavoured protein intake. With banana, chocolate and strawberry flavours, they could be a gym-lovers' answer to a selection box?
Just like Santa’s elves on Christmas Eve, Precision Engineered Overnight Whey Protein Chocolate supports you overnight.
Formulated with 21g of protein per serving, this overnight protein drink supports the maintenance and growth of muscle mass. If you’re into the science, casein offers a complete amino acid profile, including branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) which are the building blocks for new proteins.
Whether they’ve had a heavy weights day or carried too much Christmas shopping, the Urban Fitness Deep Massage Roller is specially designed to deeply knead and massage aching muscles. Their festive rest days will be put to good use with an at-home deep tissue massage. Light and durable, this roller will withstand heavy day-to-day use.
Although we don’t have a mince pie flavoured protein shake (yet), there are certainly a lot of dessert-inspired flavours to pick from. This strawberry shortcake shake is designed to deliver a protein support without the extra carbs and sugar.
If your giftee keeps in check with the latest wellness trends, they’re sure to have heard about the potential benefits of mushrooms. Beyond the muscle mass benefits of protein, this blend is whey more than just a classic shake. It contains an impressive 20g of grass-fed whey protein, 2g of mushrooms and ashwagandha KSM-66.
It’s usually a gifting faux pas to opt for deodorant. But if they love reusable products, set them up with this Wild deo starter pack for their gym bag. On a mission to transform the throwaway culture of everyday bathroom products, their sleek and stylish deodorant applicators are made from durable aluminium and recycled plastic.
We know how important rest and recovery days are – and they’ll be sure to appreciate them too. These Epsom bath salts from Westlab help to soothe tired, overworked muscles with magnesium sulphate, eucalyptus, white willow and arnica.
Help them head into January with a fully stocked cupboard of protein-packed drinks. Ideal for on-the-go, yFood is a complete, balanced, gluten-free ready-to-drink meal which delivers 26 vitamins and minerals, with no added sugar.
Broccoli, spinach, kale... no we aren’t listing Christmas dinner side dishes. Packed with plant-based ingredients, this Applied Nutrition Critical Greens comes in a variety of flavours – including this zesty lemon and lime. If they’re doing Veganuary, they’ll still be able to get their greens in a super convenient way.
A way to unwind after the Christmas rush, this vibrating massage ball is designed to target muscle knots. The palm-sized aid uses a combination of texture and vibration to target tense muscle groups.
