Retro classics turned into high protein treat

Pears drops and rhubarb & custard sweets have been reinvented as a healthy high protein treat by online food retailer MuscleFood.com.

Each sweet is fat and sugar free, and has less than half the calories of a regular sweet.

A 75g bag of sweets contains 9.2g of protein and 188 calories, compared to the regular treats where a 100g bag of rhubarb & custard or pear drops contains around 390 calories and 0.1g of protein.

Each bag contains the same amount of protein as two slices of multi-grain bread, half a cup of kidney beans or 1oz of raw pistachios. The protein is derived from whey protein powder which is found in nutritional supplements.

Darren Beale, director at Musclefood.com, says, “Just because you’re into fitness, you’re training for an event or you’re just watching what you eat, doesn’t mean you can’t have the odd treat every now and again.

“We developed these sweets after our customers said one of the things they really missed was sweets and especially the retro classics they grew up with.”
