Boots has dropped a bundle of post-workout recovery snacks and treats, all neatly packaged and at a hefty discount. The box, brimming with 21 full-sized health and wellness goodies, is designed to fuel your workouts and aid recovery. If you were to buy everything in the Boots Fuel and Recover Sports Box separately, it would set you back over £160. But, if you opt for this bundle, shoppers only need to shell out £39.99, saving them more than £120 overall for the same amount of product.
It’s packed with 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 this week while stock lasts, includes different types of protein powder as well as snacks to help you recover from a workout or hit your protein goals. Being so fresh on the market, there are no reviews of the box itself, but Boots customers can look up specific products individually for the verdict from shoppers.

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, reports the Mirror. Some of MyProtein’s fan favourites are part of the mix, including the Vimto-flavoured Clear Whey Protein, which usually retails for £15.75 and provides a twist on “traditional milky protein shakes”. You can also give Orange and Mango, Watermelon, and Peach Tea flavours a whirl.
Boots’ customers have been singing its praises, saying it ‘tastes just like’ the iconic Vimto beverage, but with the bonus of 20g of hydrolysed whey protein, and they love how ‘it mixes well with water’. Another chimed in to say it’s “really refreshing” and “a great alternative to normal protein powder”, although some found its “very sweet” taste a bit much.

The selection even throws in Boots’ own brand magnesium supplements (valued at £6.50 for 60 tablets). Magnesium is essential for maintaining good health and helps combat tiredness and fatigue – perfect for post-exercise recovery. Past users have reported feeling “feel more energetic” thanks to the tablets and noticed a difference when they skipped them. However, there were a few who didn’t see “any benefit,” and some experienced “severe diarrhoea”, a side effect noted by the NHS if taken excessively.
For those keen to dive into fitness, Applied Nutrition has a bundle up for grabs too. For £29.95, you get a JD Gym Day Pass and a variety of their products, including protein powder samples, plus tasty treats like cookies, bars, and drinks. Alternatively, you could snap up the £23.50 Athlete Box Protein Hamper from Amazon. It’s packed with energy-boosting drinks, protein bars, and recovery supplements from a variety of brands, including Grenade, CNP, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, and Muscle Moose.
Boots’ £40 Fuel and Recover Sports Box is just the ticket to expand an existing collection or the perfect starter kit for anyone keen to incorporate a sports supplement into their routine but unsure where to begin. You can find the Sports Nutrition Box online here.
It’s a golden opportunity to sample some brands that haven’t yet hit the Boots shelves, such as Humantra and Selfish. These will eventually be up for grabs later in May and June. Shoppers who bag the new bundle could pocket a hefty saving on these post-workout goodies. It’s flagged as an online exclusive, so don’t expect to see it gracing the aisles in your local Boots anytime soon.
