I have been having a lot of people ask about the new range Protein + products by Anchor. This new range includes Protein + yoghurts, protein powders, and milk. With all the hype that this product has created, I thought it was about time we went a little deeper to find out what’s actually in these products.

Protein powder is one the latest trends to hit the supermarkets, social media and online websites. With the variety of different brands being promoted in supermarkets, being endorsed by celebrities/social media the choices surrounding protein powder are expanding. There are many types of protein powders, made from a variety of different sources. With the many options, it can be confusing to figure out which one will be the most beneficial to meet our needs. Although our choices are increasing, it’s important to know that not all protein powders are made equal.

Many people consume yoghurt as a part of their regular diet for an easy, convenient part of their meals. Although yoghurt can be a healthy choice, with the huge range of brands and flavours available, it can be hard to identify what the best options are.

Yoghurt is popular because many varieties meet the label reading criteria of <10g sugar and <10g fat per 100g. However, with the large amounts of varieties that meet these criteria, how do you determine which one is the ‘healthier’ choice?
