These Holland & Barrett sale adverts

What do they knock out that might help a 100 mile a week max, 70-80 mile sportive rider in his 40's.

When ever I go into my local store I have a look at the potions and powders and leave with some flapjacks and licorice.

I'd get Whey protein from Myprotein as it's cheaper. Makes me feel better after a hard/long ride.

And typically my 2 favourite flapjacks - Banana, Rum & Raisin - are no longer available
+1 for the protein tho, i add a tablespoonful of Nesquick for extra taste

I used to go to Holland and Barrett for broken mixed nuts. But let's face it, you can get those for free on cycling forums.

Last time i was in there they had some gels on buy one get one free - walked out with a dozen for less than a eight quid which i didn't think was too bad

Its been a while since I bought whey protein from Myprotein, but I don't remember it being that expensive - almost £20 (including postage) for 1kg. Have they put the price up by a few quid in the last few months?

That's what I'm saying, it's cheaper than H and B. Currently £14.49 plain or £15.49 flavoured.

Brin - why do you use Nesquick, the flavoured ones are fine.

If all you bought was flapjack and liquorice then I think you made the right choice. Who need all that other crap??

Agree with the buy one get one free on Powerbar stuff.

Always clean them out of bars and gels when they have this offer.

NapD has a discount code on his profile if that's any help.

That won't be any help at all actually, as he's been whacked with the ban stick.

A friend of mine, she's a nutrition and supplement expert. She knows I don't use supplements so has nothing to gain by telling me that the stuff at Holland & Barrett is sh1te.

That explains why he's mingling with Cav and Renshaw on Twitter then.

That's what I'm saying, it's cheaper than H and B. Currently £14.49 plain or £15.49 flavoured.

Brin - why do you use Nesquick, the flavoured ones are fine.

Plus £3.95 postage makes it almost £20

That £14.49 is for 2.45kgs though, compared to £44.98 for under 2kgs on H&B's present deal, even if you walk to the shop to save p&p.

No - £14.49 for 1kg unflavoured impact whey protein. £26.49 for 2.5kg unflavoured. Still cheaper than H&B, but not that cheap.

thats made me feel better then. i found a tucked away shop that sells met-rx protein 2.25 kg 29.99 with nice vanilla flavour, amongst others. you dont need a cement mixer for it either.

Yes, my silly mistake :roll: . I don't think you'll find it cheaper though. 2.5 kgs is a lot of protein unless you're weight training and taking it 3 times a day or so. One of their scoops for a post ride recovery drink makes it last a while.
