These 65g bags of nutritional greatness can be enjoyed any time of the day. Packed full of complex carbohydrates, why not ditch your shake and have a bag of popcorn instead. They’ll fit your macros and won’t leave you hungry.
Are They Tasty?
Yes. Although slightly dusty, the popcorn is crisp and tasty. Not as sweet as shop bought popcorn, which is unsurprising as there’s no added sugar, but sweet enough. Some of the kernels have slightly more flavour than the others, and you can usually tell which ones just from looking at them, but this is the same with most popcorn. Before you open the pack it’s a good idea to give the bag a good shake to ensure even coverage of flavour. Overall, these are a great addition to the weekend snack list. The perfect guilt-free treat.
What About The Value?
At just £1.99 for 3 bags, these little, yellow kernels of popping joy are competitively priced. Other sports nutrition brands on the market have similar products priced way higher. Supermarket brands may be cheaper but the nutritionals will be nowhere near the same. You’ll definitely be getting more bounce for the ounce with these bad boys. It’s not really fair to compare Musclefood’s Sweet and Salty Protein Popcorn with any shop bought brands, as they are completely different.
BTW if you couldn’t figure it out. It’s only 55p per bag, probably cheaper than a Freddo bar!
