MyProtein Chocolate Chip Muffins

MyProtein Chocolate Chip Muffins*

Over the last month or so I have found my inner gym freak, I've even started going to the gym at 6.30 in the morning! Crazy I know but I'm actually really enjoying it.

I’ve changed my session’s form mainly cardio to more resistance and weight training and my trainer recommended that I increase my protein levels throughout the day to help my muscles recover faster.

When I was asked by The Hut if I wanted to sample some protein muffins I about fell of my seat, protein muffins! I can tell you it is not going to be hard for me to squeeze these bad boys into my diet.

The Myprotein Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins contain a massive 19grams of protein so that ups my protein intake dramatically! They taste absolutely delicious, if you didn't know they were from Myprotein you would never be able to tell, they don’t have a ‘healthy’ taste if that makes sense, they are well and truly packed with chocolate chips. I caught my boyfriend scoffing one the other day and he just thought he was getting a great chocolaty treat!

I have either been eating the muffins for breakfast with fruit after my work out or as an afternoon snack. I wouldn't just eat one at night because I wanted pudding.

They are quite high in calories at 387 per muffin so if you’re a calorie counter I imagine you are screaming at the screen right now. But my trainer has reassured me that for the amount of resistance training I'm doing these are perfectly fine as long as the rest of your diet is balanced, you don’t gorge on more than one and I try not to have one every day.

You can find these and lots more MyProtein products over on The Hut Website.

What do you think? Have you tried any products from Myprotein? Will you be trying these?

Make Believe Wash Off Self Tan

Little White Lie Wash Off : Darker*

As soon as the sun comes out the skin comes out. Last weekend we were finally lucky enough to get some nice weather and while I am ridiculously under prepared with my summer wardrobe I was completely ready to get my legs out.

The Little White Lie Wash off self-tan from Make Believe is designed to give you an instant deep and natural looking tan, perfect if you have been hiding your legs away under black tights all winter like myself.

You apply the lotion using a tanning mitt which helps create an even coverage with no streaks or patches. The lotion is a very dark brown colour so it’s very easy to see where you have already been and parts you may have missed. It dries so quickly so there’s no waiting around trying not to touch anything that may rub it off.

It took literally a minute to cover my whole leg so this is perfect if you’re going on a night out or if donning a pair of shorts on a shopping trip. As I am quite pale and can be prone to orangeness or the ‘umpa lumpa’ look so I only used a small amount so it looks natural and then built up the colour where needed but to be honest one coat was enough for me.

The part I liked most about the Little White Lie is the scent as it smells nothing like a usual fake tan. It reminded me of my shower gel which is great because then your glow won’t be given away buy the smell.

All you then need to do is wash it of in the shower with soap and water, easy peasy.

Overall I’m really impressed with this tan and can’t wait until the summer really arrives so I can wear shorts and pretty dresses without my ghostly pale legs making me feel self-conscious.

The Make Believe Little White Lie is available at The Hut for £10.

What do you think? Will you be faking the bronzed goddess look this summer?
