Shoppers get plenty of full-sized products aimed at making the most out of their health and fitness
Boots has launched a bundle of post-workout recovery snacks and goodies that are neatly packaged and at a major discount. The box, which contains 21 full-sized health and wellness products, has been designed to fuel movement and support recovery.
If bought separately, everything included in the Boots Fuel and Recover Sports Box should cost over £160. But, if you are picking this bundle, shoppers would only need to part with £39.99, saving them more than £120 overall for the same amount of product.
It includes many popular brands, such as MyProtein, Huel, C4, Grenade, and more. Fans of these brands can stock up for less or even try something new.

The box, available online from today (May 14), includes different types of protein powder as well as snacks to help you recover from a workout or hit your protein goals. Being so new, there are no reviews of the box itself, but Boots customers can look up specific products individually for the verdict from shoppers.
Everything included inside the box:
- Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein (Double Rich Chocolate, 300g)
- MyProtein Unisex Socks
- Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Protein Powder (Salted Caramel, 250g)
- MyProtein Clear Whey Protein (Vimto, 261g)

A popular addition is the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey. The Boots website offers multiple flavours, including strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Fans of the powder said it “makes great smoothies” and also “tastes great on porridge,” but some did claim it was “clumpy” and that “ruined” their experience.
Some of MyProtein’s popular products are also included, such as the Vimto-flavoured Clear Whey Protein, which is normally £15.75 on its own and offers an alternative to “traditional milky protein shakes”. Other flavours available to try include Orange and Mango, Watermelon, and Peach Tea.
Shoppers on Boots’ website claimed that it ‘tastes just like’ the drink itself, but offers 20g of hydrolysed whey protein, and ‘it mixes well with water’. A third added that it was “really refreshing” and “a great alternative to normal protein powder” but some were put off by it’s “very sweet” taste.
The box also includes a pack of Boots’ own brand magnesium supplements (worth £6.50 for 60 tablets). Magnesium is an important mineral that the body needs to stay healthy. It also contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue—ideal after a workout.
Previous customers claimed that the tablets made them “feel more energetic” and that some “notice the difference” when they stop. Some did warn that they didn’t get “any benefit,” and a few warned that they experienced “severe diarrhoea”, which the NHS confirms is a common issue when overused.
There are similar bundles for anyone wanting to start exploring fitness. Applied Nutrition offers a bundle, including a JD Gym Day Pass, for £29.95 that contains a mix of its own products like protein powder samples as well as snacks like cookies, bars and drinks.
Or, you could order something like the £23.50 Athlete Box Protein Hamper from Amazon. It contains energy-boosting drinks, protein bars, and recovery supplements from different brands, including Grenade, CNP, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, and Muscle Moose.
Boots’ £40 Fuel and Recover Sports Box is ideal to build on an existing range or the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to add a sports supplement to their routine, but are unsure where to start. You can find the Sports Nutrition Box online here.
It’s a chance to try out some brands that have yet to launch in Boots, such as Humantra and Selfish. These will eventually be available to buy later in May and June.
Shoppers who buy the new bundle could save a substantial amount on these post-workout treats. It’s listed as an online exclusive, so you will not spot it on the shop shelves in Boots any time soon.
