Value

For a pack of 4 wholemeal baps from Musclefood, you’ll be looking to spend £2.50, that’s less than 61p each. Perfectly valued for such a speciality product. Being pretty dense and heavy, you’re getting way more for your money. More filling than normal baps, just one of these baps will be enough to satisfy your carb cravings for hours, way more than the usual shop bought baps do.

Taste

Due to the density of these burgers, I was dubious about the taste. Luckily I was pleasantly surprised to find out these High Protein Baps taste JUST like normal wholemeal baps. I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in a taste test. They may be thick and heavy to hold, but not to eat. They are also extremely satisfying, due to the high protein content. There was one noticeable difference to a normal bap and that was their hollowness. When I chopped it in two I noticed a massive air pocket – not that I’m complaining, it made a perfect salad and caramelised onion cubby hole.

Value

Musclefood turkey burger

At only £1.50 for two turkey burgers, you can be certain that you’re getting great value for money. Competitively priced in comparison to the supermarkets, these turkey burgers win on the price scale. You can even have a meal for 2 for under £5 when you combine these turkey thigh burgers and Dr Zaks wholemeal baps – you’ll have loads of cash spare for dessert.

Taste

These Turkey Thigh Burgers have the perfect texture, they’re not mushy, chewy or tough, they are exactly how a burger should be. The light seasoning is noticeable giving them a mouth-wateringly delicious flavour. It’s hard to believe that these are so healthy as they are so juicy and succulent. When frying these in coconut oil I noticed they don’t shrink or shrivel at all – which is a bonus as I like to get out what I put in!
