Massive MyProtein sale — 7 deals I'd buy right now with 45% off powders, vegan protein and snacks
Myprotein is one of the best places to stock up on protein powders and snacks. The powder is easy to blend, tastes good (especially if you like sweet tastes) and the company produces some great vegan-friendly options, too. Now is the best time to stock up on these muscle-building supplements — Myprotein has dropped a 45% discount on every item in its store! All you need to do is fill up your basket and enter the code BOOM45 to grab your essentials at almost half price. But there's a lot to choose from. So, as a former fitness editor and long-time exerciser, I've gone through Myprotein's digital cupboard and found the proteins I'd buy right now while this mega sale lasts. This is one of the company's most popular whey proteins (and also usually among it's most expensive), as it crams 25g of protein into a 29g serving. It also has just 110 calories and no fat, making it one of the best powders for developing lean muscle. There are nine flavors and an unflavored version if you want to mix it into food. This blend of rice and pea proteins lands 21g of protein per 31g serving. You have a choice of four flavors (banana bread, mocha, tiramisu and vanilla chai), and it comes in a 2.2lb bag, giving you 32 servings per bag. And with this discount, you can pick up two bags for just over the cost of one at its regular price. This is a super-charged version of the Vegan Protein Blend, with three plant proteins (pea, pumpkin seed, watermelon seed) to deliver 25g of protein per 41.8g serving. It comes in four flavors (banana bread, mocha, tiramisu and vanilla chai) stored in a 2.54 lbs tub. These are ideal if you only use protein occasionally and want to keep it stored securely for longer stretches. Unless you have a blender or shaker to hand, protein shakes aren't always super convenient, which is what makes these 15g-of-protein-per-cookie snacks such a good option. The Birthday Cake flavor is probably a bit sweet for me — I'd go for Chocolate Chip (classic) or Snickerdoodle — and you get six cookies in a pack. Bargain for just $2.50 per cookie — you can't even buy a coffee for that price. I love Myprotein's samples because then you can spend a few dollars to try out a specific flavor before you spend much more on a full size bag. Would I pick up a whole tub of hot sauce pre-workout? Probably not. Would I try it for fun? Absolutely! Most protein powders are designed for blending with milk; you can use water, but the results aren't always enjoyable. But this Clear Whey Isolate is specifically for blending with water, so you can make a hydrating and lot less filling protein top up for your next post-workout drink instead, with 20g of protein per 25g serving. It's not exciting, but some of the best protein shakers can set you back quite a bit, so why spend more than you need on this functional drinkware? This 700ml shaker is like pretty much every other plastic shaker out there, but cheaper and with the Myprotein logo.

Death to Strawberry Makeup—Guava Girl Summer Is Officially Here
When happy hour beckons, my go-to cocktail almost always stars a fruit—passionfruit, to be precise—shaken with a dash of gin. But during a recent post-work outing with a friend, a new contender stole the spotlight: a fizzy spritz bursting with a playful tug-of-war between guava and mint. I've always known guava as a tart yet sweet delight, compressed into a juice so addictive that it demands encore sips until surrender. I assumed my guava affair would end in that quaint Lower East Side hideaway where we laughed over drinks. However, as it turns out, the beauty world had other plans: bottling the fruit's juicy essence into kissable balms, lather-worthy washes and butters, and spritzable potions ripe for summer indulgence. Folks have already dubbed the upcoming warm season Guava Girl Summer—and fittingly so. Cut the fruit open and you'll be greeted by its glossy pink heart, the same finish that informed the season's buzziest lip glosses and blush launches. My aversion to food-themed beauty turned me away from joining the 'strawberry makeup' or 'brownie glazed lips' bandwagon. However, upon researching guava's benefits, the fruit goes beyond its aesthetic appeal—guava actually boasts impressive benefits for the skin and hair. 'For skin, guava is loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C, which helps brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, and boost collagen production,' says Paula Brezavscek, PA-C, board-certified physician's associate and the founder of AZALA SkinClinic in Miami, Florida. Guava is also packed with another antioxidant named lycopene that 'protects the skin against environmental stressors and signs of aging. I especially love guava for its dual-action benefits: It protects and perfects. Plus, it has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, a great option for acne-prone or sensitive skin,' Brezavscek adds. The powerhouse vitamins harnessed from the fruit offer additional strengthening and protection benefits to the hair. 'I've even seen guava leaf extract used to calm dandruff and soothe irritated scalps. It's one of those ingredients that supports both the health of the hair and the skin underneath it. To me, guava isn't just a seasonal ingredient, it's a fruit-forward glow-up that actually delivers,' Brezavscek says. Enticed by more than just the taste of the tropical fruit? Allow these guava-infused and guava-themed beauty picks to satisfy your craving. These days, the supple, glossy sheen you notice on most lips comes courtesy of Summer Fridays' cult-favorite lip balms. The brand's latest iteration of its viral formula has an even pinker hue than, say, Pink Sugar or Birthday Cake, to mimic the color of the fruit's core. Rahua's curl cream is formulated with fortifying and strengthening ingredients, including biotin, African shea butter, and oils, among others, with guava as the standout. 'Think less damage, more shine. It hydrates and smoothes the hair cuticle, which results in softer texture and a natural, healthy glow, all with that fresh, fruity scent lingering behind,' Anna Ayers, founder of Rahua, explains. Vacation starts as soon as you spritz on a Kopari fan-favorite SPF formula. However, in this case, your real respite begins in-shower. Beyond the guava scent, the Hydrating Body Wash caresses the skin with calming aloe, hydrating coconut water, and antioxidant-rich sea kelp to prep your skin for a day of fun. This lightweight leave-in conditioner will help your hair achieve its silkiest, softest form. Guava extract conditions and adds sheen to every strand, while aloe vera juice and plum extract lock in hydration. You get the best of many worlds from this one spray. Ceremonia's Guava Rescue Spray serves as a detangler and nourisher, while guava offers heat protection up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Whether worn alone or paired with a lip liner, this YSL formula glides effortlessly onto the lips for a comfortable, soft-sheen finish in a light pink shade. One scoop of this body cream is enough to give your skin a vacation-like glow, and its delicious scent is the cherry, uh, guava on top. As the moisturizing formula imparts a subtle sheen and softness to the skin, your body is wrapped in the scent of guava, coconut water, and gardenia. Ayesha Curry's Sweet July offerings are love letters to her Caribbean upbringing, and the Pava cleanser utilizes the tropic island's star ingredients to address a bevy of skin concerns. Papaya, guava, and glycolic acid work together to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a refreshed, smoother, and more refined complexion. Florals and fruits fight for the spotlight in this fragrance, which features a medley of creamy florals ylang-ylang and osmanthus, and vibrant banana and guava for a fruity touch. This toner is powered by Dezi Skin's patented Guavazyme technology, comprised of guava and pear extracts, aimed at reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and scarring. Ere Perez's tan drops allow you to achieve a sun-kissed glow without a sunny escape. Made with vitamin C from guava and aloe vera, these drops can be mixed into your favorite serum and moisturizer, so you can wake up feeling like you're in the tropics—without leaving home. As its name suggests, Tropical by Arquiste smells like a summer cocktail waiting to be indulged. Ginger anchors the juicy tang of ripe guava and lime upon first spritz, and as it settles, guava continues mingling with the notes.

McDonald's Canada launches limited-time McFlurry flavors
A Canadian invention as iconic as poutine, the McFlurry – one of Canada's tastiest creations – is celebrating its 30th anniversary this summer! Created in June 1995 by Ron McLellan, a visionary Canadian franchisee from Bathurst, New Brunswick, the McFlurry has transformed from its humble beginnings as a local favorite into an international phenomenon, enjoyed in 99 countries around the world. This summer, McDonald's Canada is inviting people across the country to dive into a celebration filled with new flavors, art, and Canadian spirit. 'The McFlurry is more than a dessert; it's a testament to the Canadian spirit of innovation and a source of national pride,' said Ron McLellan, McDonald's Canada Franchisee and inventor of the McFlurry. While the McFlurry might have captured hearts globally, its roots remain planted in Atlantic Canada. As we mark this significant milestone, McDonald's Canada invites guests to celebrate the innovation and community spirit that the McFlurry embodies by picking up a McFlurry this summer and enjoying a sweet bite of unique Canadian history. 'Creating the McFlurry was about sharing joy,' McLellan reflects. 'Seeing it embraced around the world is a dream.' Taste the Celebration: New Menu Lineup Celebrate the McFlurry all summer long with limited-time flavors that promise an explosion of taste. Canadians can mark this milestone with the Birthday Cake McFlurry – made with creamy vanilla soft serve, confetti cookie dough, and a splash of birthday cake syrup. They can also indulge in the luscious Cheesecake McFlurry, with four flavor toppings to choose from, including: Strawberry, Fudge, Caramel, and Oreo. Art Meets Dessert: East Coast Originality in Action To pay homage to the birthplace of the McFlurry, McDonald's Canada is launching its 'An East Coast Original' campaign to celebrate where it all began. As part of this tribute, seven talented artists across the East Coast were commissioned to craft and produce original McFlurry-inspired artworks in each of their unique mediums to bring this campaign to life. These pieces will highlight the dynamic culture and vibrant spirit of Atlantic Canada, instill pride, and showcase local originality, in recognition of the McFlurry 30th anniversary. McFlurry Fast Facts The McFlurry was first created on June 7th, 1995, in Bathurst, New Brunswick, by Ron McLellan, McDonald's Canada franchisee. It was named McFlurry because a flurry felt like a cool, crisp, catch-a-snowflake-on-your-tongue moment of delightful possibility that engaged the senses and lifted people's moods.

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."
