While I was over in Finland, I raided their supermarkets for the sports products they had. Some of it was Finnish, some of it was American. Here is what I found.
Gatorade
I’ve never tried Gatorade before but it thumbs up. I like this stuff. It doesn’t feel as heavy as Lucozade.
Powerade
Another widely sold drink that I’ve never tried. It was good, but I prefer the flavours of Gatorade.
Maxim protein bar
This was very tasty. Almost as tasty as the Carb Killa bars.
Arla protein yoghurt
Chocolate and orange flavour. it definitely has a distinctive taste compared with other yoghurts, but in terms of mixing up my recovery food, I could see myself throwing in some of these.
Tupla protein bar
This not only looks like a Mars bar (but has no relation) but also tastes like a chewy version of a Mars bar. All of which is good.
Cricket protein bar
These are named Leader Zircca bars. Leader is the brand, and zircca is the Finnish word for cricket. Not the game, but the insect. It’s made of crickets: 15 of them go into each bar. They were okay and didn’t taste like you were eating insects, but I haven’t left craving more.
