Sky customers rush to claim FREE snacks from Sainsbury's with millions of treats up for grabs
SKY customers are racing to claim free snacks from Sainsbury's with millions of treats currently up for grabs. The TV giant recently announced a range of new treats coming to Sky VIP and has pledged to make freebies available every week. This month, Sky teamed up with Sainsbury's for the first time ever to bring delicious rewards to Sky VIP members. There are almost 2 million treats to give away that have so far included Taste the Difference pizzas and ice lollies. And this week, you can claim a sharing bag of LOVE CORN, perfect for a night in with a movie this weekend. There are several flavours up for grabs, including: Sea Salt Smoked BBQ Salt & Vinegar Sour Cream & Chive Sweet & Salty How to claim In the Sky VIP app, simply claim an instant voucher which can be exchanged for a bag of LOVE CORN at Sainsbury's. The offer is only valid at Sainsbury's superstores - not Sainsbury's Local, petrol stations or online shopping. Coupons will only work for 30 minutes once redeemed so don't activate it until you're at a Sainsbury's checkout. But customers are urged to be quick as coupons are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. The promotion will remain live until 11.59pm next Monday or until all the coupons have been claimed for this week - whichever comes firsts. How to Unlock New Free Sky Sports Channels on Your TV Today Customers then have until Sainsbury's Superstores close next Tuesday to redeem their complimentary freebie. More freebies The broadcasting giant is also offering free movies every week on Sky Showcase as well as opportunities to bag free trials to some of the biggest streaming apps. But there's not just something for foodies and movie lover - sports fans get extra treats too. If you subscribe to Sky Sports, you can claim a number of perks such as almost 100,000 free tickets to sporting events. And what's more, Sky VIP is also offering experiences such as tickets to top UK attractions, exclusive cinema screenings and more. Helen Kloepfer, Director of Sky VIP said: "The new Sky VIP reward programme is our way of saying thank you to our customers by giving them more of what they love. "Whether you're new to Sky or a long-standing customer, there's always something exciting waiting in the My Sky app that makes every day a little better." The rewards can be found in the VIP tab on the MySky app. Sky relaunched its hugely popular VIP loyalty programme earlier this month with over 3 million rewards and experiences for customers across the UK this year. MORE SKY PERKS If you're paying for Sky Cinema, you'll get loads of top movies on your telly. But you may not have realised that you also get free tickets to an actual cinema too. Every single month, you can claim a pair of tickets to see a movie at Vue cinemas without paying a penny extra. You just need to go into the MySky app, head into Sky VIP, and then tap on Your Vue Tickets. You'll be able to claim two codes, which you can then redeem at Vue cinemas. The catch is that you can only use these tickets once a month, and only between Sunday and Thursday. You're also only able to use them for Regular, Saver, and Super Saver seat types – so no posh recliner chairs here. A ticket at Vue normally costs somewhere in the region of £6 to £8, so this is a great freebie.

The protein boom is only beginning: Morning Brief
They're cramming it into everything now. It's in pancakes and pasta, chips and cereal. Plant-based or harvested from the farm, it's the macro(nutrient) of the moment. And slices of corporate America are not so subtly asking: Have you met your protein goal today? Protein Doritos sounds like the ideal mashup for the gym rat snack fiends of the world. But it's not as farfetched a product as you might think. Pepsi (PEP) plans to unveil new protein offerings for some of its Frito-Lay and Quaker brands, part of a broader shift to enhance their products and strip away artificial flavors and colors. (But what is a tasty Cheeto if not a brazenly synthetic delight?) Pepsi's intended relaunch and extension of popular brands is a reaction to a consumer base on the hunt for healthier, cleaner options. Executives across the food and beverage world see a potential crisis unfolding. As demand for legacy products wavers, companies are reaching for new lines (like fiber, prebiotics, hydration, energy, and protein) to support the core business. Sign up for the Yahoo Finance Morning Brief By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy "Protein is clearly a subsegment in our food and beverages categories that is growing fast," said PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta on an earnings call last week. "Consumers are adopting protein solutions in the diet at a pace that was not the case a few months back, a few years back." Coca-Cola (KO), which reported on Tuesday, is undergoing its own notable evolution. Earlier this year, the company came out with a prebiotic soda brand, Simply Pop, an answer to the initial success of soda alternatives like Olipop and Poppi. Coca-Cola's Fairlife line of lactose-free, ultra-filtered milk and protein shakes (a fitness influencer staple) is touting double-digit volume growth. Coke CFO John Murphy told my colleague Brooke DiPalma that protein is another representation of consumers looking for products that help them in their daily lives, have fewer calories, or are perceived as healthier. Coca-Cola also confirmed it'll offer a Coke variant sweetened with US cane sugar this fall. A confluence of factors has amped up the recommendations and ability to up your protein intake. Strength training is having a moment, in a sort of vindication of gym bro fitness culture but also an expansion and reimagining of it. More young people, older people, and women are skipping (or supplementing) the treadmill and stationary bike and heading to the weight rack. Big, commercial gyms are swapping out cardio machines to make space for pumping iron. Planet Fitness (PLNT) announced plans at the start of the year to install new plate-loaded strength equipment — like bench presses and hack squats — into all of its more than 2,700 clubs by the end of 2025. Logically, protein follows to help realize the gains. Social media reflects and amplifies these trends. Popular influencers, like some of their Hollywood counterparts, are sporting more muscular physiques: wider backs, denser arms, and thicker legs. And they're touting the advantages of higher protein consumption as a method to change the way people look and feel. You have to eat more protein, they proclaim, to grow a dump truck. The opposite is true too: You generally need to actually train to put protein to work — and we may all be going overboard. Otherwise, you're just eating protein aspirationally. The explosion of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs from Eli Lilly (LLY) and Novo Nordisk (NVO) is another reason why consumers are seeing more protein-enriched foods on grocery aisles. As appetite-suppressed Ozempic and Wegovy users eat less and drop pounds, it isn't just body fat they're shedding. People in a calorie deficit generally lose fat and muscle, so healthcare providers advise patients to eat more protein to help preserve their muscle mass. And as a diet trend, the pro-protein movement is also just that, "pro" something, instead of the carb villainization of Atkins of the 2000s or low-fat of the 90s and before. For food and snack companies, it's an opportunity to capitalize on that turbocharged demand by providing something that's acceptable to eat, tackling health through consumption instead of austerity.

The Little Food Lab Fueling the Big Protein Boom
Anthony Flynn had already watched a series of food fads rise and fall. His company, YouBar, has long produced snacks for brands that cater to the popular diets of the moment. He dabbled in no-carb bars. He did paleo pastries. When keto had its moment, he tested so many high-fat recipes that he had to place spittoons in his office. ('You can only eat so much coconut oil,' he said.) Mr. Flynn was agnostic about the trends, though each boosted his business. Sure, he could make date-sweetened granola bites. Yes, he could produce a no-sugar cake pop. But then came protein, the nutrient that prompted him to start his business — and that has recently transformed it. 'It's just been an insane amount of demand,' said Mr. Flynn, as he walked through YouBar's headquarters in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California this spring. 'We cannot build lines fast enough.' Mr. Flynn, 41, started making his own protein bars as a teenager, trading recipes with his mother — a health-conscious and Level Two certified snowboarding instructor — on drives to and from a ski resort outside the Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up. After he graduated from college in 2006, he convinced her to turn their kitchen experimentation into a business, spinning up a web-based retailer that he called YouBar. It whipped up bars for CrossFit fans and ultramarathoners and sold them in packs of 12. Customers could choose their base and mix-ins, building the precise bar to meet their nutritional needs.
