It’s been quite a year on the Neat blog. We’ve packed your feed with all kinds of content, from protein powder-based recipes, to top travel tips; there’s been something for everyone! As always, we’d love to hear from you on what kind of content you’d like in 2020. Until then, let’s take a look back at some of your favourites from the year…

Interview with Co-Founder Lee | Neat Nutrition. Protein Powder Subscriptions.

Recipes

We’ve always loved incorporating protein powder into recipes and having Neat as a kitchen essential. This year was no different and we stepped up the recipe creation with our single-serve pouches making it easier than ever to add a protein boost to our favourite treats.

 

Nutella Protein Balls

Is there any better combination than Nutella and peanut butter? These chocolatey bites are packed with the protein you need for a pre or post workout snack. Technically they'll last in the fridge for up to a week, but they certainly didn't last that long at Neat HQ!
