New £40 Boots fitness box includes £160 worth of health products
Shoppers get plenty of full-sized products aimed at making the most out of their health and fitness
Boots has launched a bundle of post-workout recovery snacks and goodies that are neatly packaged and at a major discount. The box, which contains 21 full-sized health and wellness products, has been designed to fuel movement and support recovery.
If bought separately, everything included in the Boots Fuel and Recover Sports Box should cost over £160. But, if you are picking this bundle, shoppers would only need to part with £39.99, saving them more than £120 overall for the same amount of product.
It includes many popular brands, such as MyProtein, Huel, C4, Grenade, and more. Fans of these brands can stock up for less or even try something new.
The box, available online from today (May 14), includes different types of protein powder as well as snacks to help you recover from a workout or hit your protein goals. Being so new, there are no reviews of the box itself, but Boots customers can look up specific products individually for the verdict from shoppers.
Everything included inside the box:
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein (Double Rich Chocolate, 300g)
MyProtein Unisex Socks
Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Protein Powder (Salted Caramel, 250g)
MyProtein Clear Whey Protein (Vimto, 261g)
Selfish Give me Energy Electrolyte Powder (Juicy Watermelon)
Humantra Electrolyte Powder (Berry Pomegranate, 3pk)
Barebells Soft Protein Bar (Peanut Caramel, 55g)
Optimum Nutrition Protein Bar (Marshmallow, 65g)
Grenade Protein Bar (Oreo, 60g)
C4 Original Pre-workout Energy Shot (Millions Strawberry)
Lift Glucose Tablets (Tangy Orange, 10pk)
Optimum Nutrition Shaker (600ml)
Lucozade Sport Gel (Orange, 45g)
Huel Black Edition 100% Nutritionally Complete Meal (Chocolate, 500ml)
Deep Heta Muscle Rescue Heat Spray (72.5ml)
JointXcel Non Heating Far-Infared Patch (x3, Flexi Patch)
STYRKR BAR50 Energy Bar (70g, Dark Chocolate Chip)
HIGH5 ZERO Electrolyte Hydration Tabs (Tropical, 20pk)
Boots Magnesium (375mg, 60pk)
MyProtein Impact Creatine Monohydrate (Unflavoured, 150g)
Liquid IV (Tropical, 3pk)
A popular addition is the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey. The Boots website offers multiple flavours, including strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Fans of the powder said it "makes great smoothies" and also "tastes great on porridge," but some did claim it was "clumpy" and that "ruined" their experience.
Some of MyProtein's popular products are also included, such as the Vimto-flavoured Clear Whey Protein, which is normally £15.75 on its own and offers an alternative to "traditional milky protein shakes". Other flavours available to try include Orange and Mango, Watermelon, and Peach Tea.
Shoppers on Boots' website claimed that it 'tastes just like' the drink itself, but offers 20g of hydrolysed whey protein, and 'it mixes well with water'. A third added that it was "really refreshing" and "a great alternative to normal protein powder" but some were put off by it's "very sweet" taste.
The box also includes a pack of Boots' own brand magnesium supplements (worth £6.50 for 60 tablets). Magnesium is an important mineral that the body needs to stay healthy. It also contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue—ideal after a workout.
Previous customers claimed that the tablets made them "feel more energetic" and that some "notice the difference" when they stop. Some did warn that they didn't get "any benefit," and a few warned that they experienced "severe diarrhoea", which the NHS confirms is a common issue when overused.
There are similar bundles for anyone wanting to start exploring fitness. Applied Nutrition offers a bundle, including a JD Gym Day Pass, for £29.95 that contains a mix of its own products like protein powder samples as well as snacks like cookies, bars and drinks.
Or, you could order something like the £23.50 Athlete Box Protein Hamper from Amazon. It contains energy-boosting drinks, protein bars, and recovery supplements from different brands, including Grenade, CNP, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, and Muscle Moose.
Boots' £40 Fuel and Recover Sports Box is ideal to build on an existing range or the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to add a sports supplement to their routine, but are unsure where to start. You can find the Sports Nutrition Box online here.
It's a chance to try out some brands that have yet to launch in Boots, such as Humantra and Selfish. These will eventually be available to buy later in May and June.
Shoppers who buy the new bundle could save a substantial amount on these post-workout treats. It's listed as an online exclusive, so you will not spot it on the shop shelves in Boots any time soon.

In defence of the Trump playbook
The standard explanation for why charges for plastic bags reduced waste is economic. People were reluctant to pay 10p for a bag and so brought their own instead. This is partly true. But it would still be highly effective if the charge for a bag were merely 1p. That's because charging any amount, however trifling, was sufficient to change the implicit assumptions about normal retail behaviour. Previously, if you went into Boots and bought, say, a toothbrush and a tube of Anusol, the default was for the cashier to put them in a new bag – it would have seemed rude not to do so. Suddenly, however, the imposition of a charge meant that shopkeepers had to ask whether you wanted a bag or not. Often the answer was 'no'; you had one already, or, if you were a chap, your clothing was miraculously equipped with things called 'pockets'. There are many ways in which you can achieve large changes in behaviour without imposing large economic penalties. For instance, I contend that you could significantly reduce intergenerational inequality simply by the imposition of a property tax of 0.1 per cent annually on all homes. The relatively small amount raised could be hypothecated to fund child benefit, or to reduce the income tax burden on the young. For the purposes of comparison, the typical property tax levied by those well-known leftists in the State of Texas is slightly over 1.8 per cent. Bear me out. I am borrowing here from the Donald Trump playbook. This is an under-rated approach to legislation where you impose taxes not for their direct effect, but for their symbolic value. By sending a surprising signal, you can change behaviour by unseating the unthinking assumptions people hold about the future. You don't necessarily have to do anything massive – you simply raise the possibility you might. Most human behaviour runs on implicit deterrents of this kind. By sending a surprising signal, you can change behaviour by unseating the unthinking assumptions people hold Before The Donald, it had become an axiomatic assumption in all businesses that no democratic government of any political stripe would ever deviate from the smug Davos neo-liberal globalist consensus in any shape or form. This artificial certainty meant that for decades you could offshore employment with abandon and treat your native staff fairly shabbily, without fear of any adverse consequences. Today it's different: even if you later reduce many tariffs to near zero and stop randomly abusing Canada, the signal has been sent. I hate to say this, but this approach could work well to solve many other problems. For instance, Britons have been lulled into planning for their future on the assumption that three unwritten rules underpin the tax system. 1) If you actually get up in the morning and do some useful work for which you get paid, you'll be taxed to buggery; 2) If you acquire wealth and then ride the wave of asset-price inflation (i.e. you have more money than you need 'cos you're old), you will be treated very generously; 3) If the asset in question is your own home, you won't be taxed at all, and nor will your good-for-nothing kids when they inherit it all. A large part of the reason why young people cannot afford to buy homes is nothing to do with the use value of a home – it is driven by the as-yet-unshaken belief that residential property has been sanctified as an asset class. It is this belief which possibly accounts for 25 per cent of the price of a home and a similarly large part of oldsters' pathological reluctance to downsize. Residential property is seen as Britain's only tax haven. To unseat this assumption, you don't need to rewrite the whole tax code, or go full Henry George – much as I would personally support this. You just have to make the unthinkable suddenly thinkable.

Finally, I Found A Product That Clears My Chest And Back Acne – And It's £7
Struggling with chest and back acne has been a long-standing source of embarrassment for me - a feeling that only intensified when I became a beauty journalist. How could anyone take me seriously when my own skin was marked with angry, red blemishes? Surely I, of all people, should know the importance of washing, at the very least? Of course, I now recognise that was my own insecurity talking and nothing more. These days, it's widely understood that acne, whether on the face or body, is rarely linked to hygiene. According to the NHS, around 95% of people will experience acne at some point in their lives, and more than half of them will develop it on their back and chest. Over the years, I've tried and tested a myriad products claiming to be the cure. The Murad Clarifying Body Spray fast became the stand out. And while I have made repeated purchases since, it's undeniably expensive at £46 per bottle, which I get through so quickly. This is why I was eager to try Boots's newest answer to body acne - the Dermacare Acne Back Treatment Spray, priced at an impressively affordable £7.97. Scroll on for my full review. This spray is specially formulated to help prevent the build-up of excess oil, unclog hair follicles, and inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria - all of which contribute to reducing blemishes and breakouts. It features a powerful blend of active ingredients, including benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, niacinamide, and retinol, expertly combined to promote clearer, healthier skin. 1. Boots Dermacare Acne Back Treatment Spray Price: $7.97 (was £11.95) What Boots says: 'Boots Dermacare Acne multi-action back treatment spray is a medical device which helps to treat mild acne on the back. Containing 6% benzoyl peroxide and a blend of other exfoliating ingredients, it helps to prevent the build-up of excess oil, unblock hair follicles and reduce the growth of breakout-causing bacteria.' What we know: Brimming with active ingredients - 6% Benzoyl Peroxide, 5% Azelaic acid derivative 5, Niacinamide and 0.5% Retinol Palmitate you best bet this is a tonic for back and chest acne. Rachael Martin, beauty editor says: 'The skin on my chest and back looks impressively clear. I haven't had a single one of those deep, under-the-skin spots, and the overall tone and texture have noticeably improved. If you struggle with body acne, this could be a very affordable and effective option.' Pros Generous bottle Great price Cons Spray function is tempermental Unusual scent After showering, shake the bottle well to ensure ingredients are adequately mixed. You can then spritz across the affected areas (for me, this is my back and chest) before gently massaging it in. It takes a few minutes to absorb, so be patient and allow it to dry before dressing. Struggling with very sensitive skin? Apply every other day instead of daily. Rachael Martin, beauty editor: It's the texture that surprises me at first - it's milky and thicker than expected, which means it doesn't spray quite as smoothly as I'd like. In fact, it feels more like a light cream than a mist, making application a bit fiddly - having someone available to rub it into your back, will help. There's also a peculiar scent- it's not exactly unpleasant, but it's definitely unusual. That said, once I got past the initial hassle and it had absorbed into my skin, the texture and scent became virtually undetectable. I've been using it for the past couple of months and, as with most exfoliating acne treatments, I did experience some initial dryness. After a few days, there was a bit of peeling across my chest, but this soon settled down. Now? The skin on my chest and back looks impressively clear. I haven't had a single one of those deep, under-the-skin spots, and the overall tone and texture have noticeably improved. If you struggle with body acne, this could be a very affordable and effective option. Will it cure my acne completely? Probably not. But I do believe it's made a real difference. While the Murad Clarifying Body Spray remains my ride-or-die, the Boots Dermacare Acne Back Treatment Spray makes for a welcome, more affordable alternative for those dealing with back and chest acne this summer Rachael Martin is Grazia's beauty editor.
