When to Use Healthy Food & Drinks

Timing depends on what you're using and why. Protein bars and pancakes work well as breakfast options, post-workout snacks, or whenever you need a protein boost between meals.

Athletes can choose performance products for training and competition, while others might prefer protein-rich snacks for everyday nutrition. The range means you're not locked into one type of product.

FAQs

What are healthy food drinks?

Healthy food drinks refer to nutritious beverages and food products designed to provide balanced nutrition in convenient formats. This includes protein shakes, energy gels, protein-enriched snacks, and natural spreads that deliver quality ingredients without excessive processing or unnecessary additives.

These products are formulated to complement a balanced diet rather than replace whole foods entirely. They're particularly useful when you need nutrition on the go, around training sessions, or during busy periods when preparing meals isn't practical.

Who develops Myprotein's healthy food and drink products?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop all products in this range. They select ingredients based on nutritional value, formulate products to meet specific dietary goals, and ensure quality standards are maintained throughout production. Each product goes through rigorous development and testing before it reaches you.

How do protein bars differ from regular snack bars?

Protein bars are specifically formulated to deliver substantial protein content per serving—typically 15-20g or more. Regular snack bars often prioritise carbohydrates and may contain higher sugar levels with minimal protein. Protein bars are designed with protein as the primary macronutrient, making them more suitable for those looking to increase protein intake throughout the day.

The protein content in these bars contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, which is why athletes and gym-goers often choose them over standard snack bars.

When should I use energy gels?

Energy gels are designed for during endurance activities—think long runs, cycling events, or competitions lasting over an hour. They provide quick-release carbohydrates that your body can absorb rapidly when you're exercising at intensity. Most athletes take them at regular intervals during prolonged exercise rather than before or after training.

They're not meant for everyday snacking. Their purpose is specific: delivering fast energy when your body needs it most during sustained physical effort.

What makes natural peanut butter different from standard versions?

Natural peanut butter contains just peanuts—no added sugar, palm oil, or stabilisers. Standard peanut butter often includes hydrogenated oils to prevent separation, plus added sugar and salt. The natural version may separate (oil rising to the top), but that's actually a sign that it's minimally processed.

You get pure peanut nutrition: healthy fats, protein, and fibre without unnecessary additives. Just give it a stir before use and you're good to go.

Can I use protein pancake mix for other recipes?

Absolutely. While it's designed for pancakes, many people use protein pancake mix as a versatile ingredient in baking. You can make protein waffles, muffins, or even add it to smoothies for extra thickness and protein content. Experiment with the water-to-mix ratio to get the consistency you want for different recipes.

The mix provides a convenient way to add protein to various dishes without buying multiple specialty ingredients.

How should I store these healthy food and drink products?

Most products in this range are shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Protein bars, biscuits, and pancake mix are fine in your cupboard or gym bag. Once opened, natural nut butters can be kept at room temperature, though some people prefer refrigerating them to extend freshness and prevent oil separation.

Energy gels are particularly portable and can handle temperature variations, making them ideal for taking on long training sessions or competitions. Always check individual product labels for specific storage recommendations.

What's the difference between these products and meal replacements?

These healthy food and drink products are designed to complement your diet, not replace entire meals. They provide convenient nutrition for specific situations—post-workout protein, on-the-go snacking, or performance nutrition during exercise. Meal replacements, by contrast, are formulated to provide complete nutrition across all macronutrients and micronutrients in one serving.

Think of this range as tools to enhance your existing diet rather than substitutes for balanced meals. They fill nutritional gaps when whole food meals aren't practical.

How do I choose which products suit my goals?

Start with what you're trying to achieve. If you're focused on increasing protein intake for muscle maintenance, protein bars and pancake mix make sense. Athletes training for endurance events will benefit from energy gels during longer sessions. If you want healthier everyday snacking, natural peanut butter and protein biscuits fit the bill.

Consider your daily routine too. What nutritional gaps do you currently have? When do you struggle to get adequate nutrition? Choose products that address those specific moments rather than trying everything at once.

Are these products suitable for vegetarians?

Many products in this range are suitable for vegetarians, though it varies by specific product. Protein pancake mix, natural peanut butter, and many protein bars use vegetarian protein sources. Always check the individual product label for complete ingredient information and suitability statements.

Myprotein clearly labels dietary suitability on each product, making it straightforward to identify which options work for your dietary preferences.
