It's wet, cold and I can hear little kids screaming 'muddy puddles' - welcome to winter in London guys. It's always after summer that I start getting fanatic about health, to avoid cold and flu season at all costs also to try and shed a few pounds or maintain my weight during the festive season. Costa and Starbucks start to cram with customers longing for their Christmas sugar kick - I sure as hell am one of them lets not beat around the bush! With the calorie content in some of those drinks, I know I need to ensure that I'm working to keep the pounds off.

A couple of months ago Pulsin was kind enough to send me some of their protein bars and protein powder - which to be honest I was a bit shooketh about as it reminded me during the summer months of the winter that was ahead. Now at that point that I was envisioning, I tried their stuff and listennnn hunty!

Ok so I will keep it 100 with you guys and admit that I've never been a huge fan of protein bars at all - I just always thought they tasted processed and fake if you ask me. That's why I was so intrigued by Pulsin as a brand who promise to create products for all ages that ensure that we are staying healthy whilst enjoying the products we consume. I tried the vanilla choc chip protein bar and mint choc chip too - personally after trying both I preferred the mint choc chip, it had more of a chocolate feel to it so I almost forgot that I was eating a protein bar. I definitely think that the bars are an acquired taste that I think if you like 'raw' and 'organic' in taste type protein bars then you'll like these.

The protein powder was a hit with me, I didn't even taste it in anything I was having and still got to reap the benefits. Personally, I prefer that in a protein powder - not to taste chalky or feel the grains in a smoothie. I added a heaped tablespoon to my smoothies and half to my breakfast bowls - with honey, granola and natural yogurt - to add more protein to my day.

I'm not in anyway using the products to lose weight but to instead feel healthier and improve wellbeing.
