    My Muscle Chef launches protein cookies

    Functional food and beverage company My Muscle Chef has rolled out a new range of protein cookies to help people struggling to hit their protein cookies.

    Macro – short for macronutrients – makes up a food composition in our bodies: fats, carbohydrates, and protein. People who are conscious of their nutrient intake count macros to reach a specific body composition goal.

    Available in three different flavors – Salted Caramel and Macadamia, Choc Chip, and Triple Choc – the new protein cookies are a great choice as an on-the-go snack to top up protein intake while satisfying sweet cravings, said the company.

    “Our new Protein Cookies are a great addition to MYMC’s range of functional, healthy foods and are a great way for our customers to support muscle strength and fuel their recovery,” said Tushar Menon, co-founder, My Muscle Chef.

    Each cookie has 25g of whey protein, nuts, and prebiotic fiber. It also has no added sugars or preservatives and does not use artificial flavors or colors.

    Alex Adcock, head of sales at My Muscle Chef, says most protein snacks on the market are bars and the company has identified an opportunity to offer a more indulgent way for customers to hit their protein goals.

    “With 98 percent of recovery snacks in the market currently being bars, we’ve identified an opportunity for our cookies to meet MYMC’s customers needs perfectly complementing our existing high protein and on-the-go range our customers know and love,“ said Adcock.

    In addition to the Protein Cookies, the company has also launched Custard Protein Bars, and Custard Casein Protein Powder in its range of protein supplements.

    My Muscle Chef Protein Cookies are available online and in select retail stores for RRP $4.50 per cookie.

    Macro launches eco-friendly household cleaning products range

    Macro Wholefoods, Woolworths’ health, and food brand, has expanded into the home category with the launch of “Macro Whole Living”, a range of eco-friendly household cleaning products.

    Products include laundry powders, kitchen liquids and tablets, and multipurpose sprays, which the brand says will help customers keep their homes fresh and clean without harsh chemicals.

    The product range is not tested on animals, contains no synthetic fragrance or dyes, is greywater and septic tank safe, and independently certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) under their Cleaning Products and Machine Dishwashing Standards.

    Each Kitchen and Multipurpose bottle from Macro Whole Living is made from 100-per-cent recycled material. In contrast, the Laundry bottle is made from 75-per-cent recycled material and uses a paper scoop instead of the traditional plastic.

    Woolworths is also introducing its first cleaning product refill station, trialed at Burwood Brickworks in Melbourne, where customers can refill their bottles with three products from the Macro Whole Living Range – laundry liquid, multipurpose surface cleaner, and dishwashing liquid.

    The refill stations aim to reduce plastic waste by allowing customers to re-use their existing bottles.

    Pether Hathaway, GM of Macro Wholefoods, said that as more customers look for eco-friendly cleaning products, introducing a cleaning line was a natural extension for the brand to help them make better choices.

    “We’ve put the entire range of Macro Whole Living products through independent tests to ensure they’re not only tough on dirt, grease, and stains but equally as gentle on the environment.”
