Heron Foods shoppers in Lancashire will soon be able to tuck into cheap protein-packed treats as retailer teams up with MuscleFood

Stores in Preston, Cleveleys and Shadsworth will be stocking the products from 20 July.

Heron Foods expects the range will fly off the shelves and out of the freezers, and are confident shoppers will love the high protein meals and treats.

Range highlights include tasty protein blueberry pancakes for breakfast, high protein, low calorie meal pots for lunch and protein pizza for tea.

If shoppers are still peckish or craving something sweet, Heron Foods will also be stocking a range of high protein bars and cookies.

Nick Preston from MuscleFood.com said: “We’re delighted to see some of our exciting range land in Heron Foods stores across the UK and know customers will love what we have to offer.

“Our pizzas are a popular product with our online customers. They’re high protein, low in calories and we’ve sold no end since they first launched eight years ago - they’re a good way to have a treat without piling on the pounds.

“The cookies and bars are good on the go and the pancakes make a tasty, high protein breakfast.

“The pots are one of the newest additions to our range – they’re low calories so perfect if you want to shed a few pounds, and because they’re high protein, will leave you feeling fuller for longer.

“They’re an easy lunch - ready in minutes - or if you can’t be bothered to cook in the evening!”
