Shoppers find 'best flavour' protein bar up to £16 cheaper than Tesco
Grenade bars are high in protein and low in sugar and unlike some others they "actually taste like chocolate" In today's busy UK lifestyles, protein bars are a convenient, no-prep snack, ideal for food on-the-go. From post-workout recovery or a quick meal replacement, they make healthy eating easy and accessible. Better still, protein packed snacks do not need to be boring and bland. Today's protein bars are designed to be packed with flavour and Amazon shoppers think they have found the 'best flavour yet.' The Grenade OREO White Protein Bar has 20 grams of protein and a low sugar recipe. Amazon is currently selling this particular flavour for the low price of £1.50 per bar - making it almost half the price of single bars in Tesco where they are £2.90 a pop (or £2.20 for Club Card members). Reduced from £30.99 to £18, fitness fans and protein lovers can save on the popular bars. Amazon shoppers can save 41% when bought in bulk, equating to a saving of £16.67 for a dozen bars from Tesco (£8.27 for Club Card members) and the same in Sainsburys. While prices vary, Birthday Cake another popular flavour is £17.95 (£1.49 per bar), White Chocolate Cookie is £16.50 (£1.37 per bar) and Dark Chocolate Mint is also £17.95 (£1.49 per bar). With Father's Day coming up on June, 15, they could even make a great gift for dads who like to work out. If the Grenade bars aren't quite right, My Protein has £10 off the best selling Chocolate Chip Brownies, 12 pack. With 23 grams of protein, the pocket sized snack has been called "a pure delight" and "tasty with a cuppa" by shoppers. Elsewhere, the Protein Works Chocolate Peanut Punk Bars are reduced to £19.99 for a box of 20. Smaller than the Grenade bars with just 10 grams of protein, these treats have still managed to achieve a 4.7 out of five star rating, with many reviews saying how well they help to keep hunger at bay in between meals. For protein lovers who would prefer to meet their daily goals in shake form, Amazon is selling the Huel Black Edition multipack with a whopping 35 grams of protein per bottle. With 16% off, a pack of 8 bottles is now on sale for £25.62. The Grenade bars have been given a 4.4 out of five star rating by sweet-toothed Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: "I think I've repurchased this same protein bar about fifty times at this point. Quality is always consistent and considering its low sugar content it is still sweet. Great way to increase your protein intake via a snack on the go." Another added: "Better than I expected. Good sweetness and good flavour, stops my sugar craving and helps with protein intake. Overall good product and price if brought in bulk rather than 1 at a time in the shops." A third was impressed with the taste, saying: "Grenade's White Oreo flavour is, without a doubt, the best one I've tried. It's low carb, which is fantastic, and it doesn't have that overly processed taste that a lot of similar products tend to have." Not all buyers were quite so impressed. One disappointed shopper left a three-star review that said: "Odd texture just a bit too chewy, flavour is okay, but I'd prefer other options and I am just eating them for the protein content at this point." With more than 1,000 reviews for this flavour alone, the Grenade bars seem to be big hit with most buyers. A five-star review summed it up, saying: " My favourite protein bar. This flavour tops all the others in my opinion. A tasty, chewy bar with no grainy taste. I use these as an after gym snack or to support my protein intake."

17-tonne tank smashes through wall to spotlight UK's overlooked energy crisis
A 17-tonne tank smashed through a 13ft-high 'wall' at London's Tower Bridge to show how Brits hit a wall twice a week - and lose 37 minutes of productivity A 17-tonne tank has spectacularly crashed through a wall in London, drawing attention to Britain's "other" energy crisis. The towering 13ft 'wall' at Tower Bridge was dramatically demolished by the tank, following research that showed 72% of adults hit a metaphorical wall multiple times each week. On average, Brits hit this wall twice a week and lose nearly 37 minutes of productivity when it happens – amounting to almost 78 wasted hours a year. Nearly half (45%) report feelings of fatigue during these moments, while 40% feel unmotivated, and 37 % lack concentration. The study of 2,000 adults revealed others become irritable (27%) and hungry (12%) after hitting a wall. The wall, designed to represent the high carbs and sugar-filled snacks 76% typically reach for to boost their energy, was obliterated by Grenade founder Alan Barratt, driving the protein brand's vibrant orange 'tank'. However, while 78% acknowledge the food they are fuelling themselves with could be to blame, 52% are not confident in identifying the foods causing them to feel fatigued and lack focus. Neal Duffy, from the protein bar brand, said: "We're a nation of hustlers, so we need to fuel our bodies the right way.
