When you’re living in as sun-soaked a city as Sydney, if you identify as LGBTIQ or their friends, or you plan on going to the gay party to end all gay parties, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras after party, then showing skin almost feels like a prerequisite. Of course, it’s not; but you’d be kidding yourself if you thought you’d go without gawking at a few finely tuned torsos and their hangers-on as your prowl the grounds of Hordern Pavillion in the dead of night. The good thing about the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is, though, that regardless of who you are, what you look like and what you like to do with who, you’re welcome; and if keeping up with the Joneses if your thing, then we’ve done some of the hard work for you. Bulk Nutrients are Australia’s own, and the people to go to for your protein and health nutrition and supplements and this Mardi Gras, we’re talking all thing fat burners and protein to aid you in your quest to shred that last little layer of love to look at your optimum prime. We spoke to Brodie West, marketing manager and pro-LGBTIQ-er himself about bods, burners and how to do both, best. When it comes to the big Mardi Gras after party night, there’s a lot of perceived pressure to look good, but as Brodie says, it’s not all about what you look like. “I think there is an element of perceived pressure to look good for Mardi Gras,… Read More

Cook the quinoa. We cooked ours in vegetable stock to add the flavours. 2. Heat a pot and add in some butter or coconut oil to cook in. Add cherry tomatoes and mushrooms – prick tomatoes to ensure they do not burst open. 3. After 2-3 minutes, add the kale and toss to coat well. Add pine nuts, spring onion and bean shoots. Cook for 2-3 minutes. 4. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the bowl with the cooked quinoa. 5. Keep pan hot. Quickly make up the egg breakfast as directed. 6. Add to pan, and stir at intervals.

Exercise, health and fitness: Bulk Nutrients is changing it all

Bulk Nutrients influencer

When you think ‘protein powder’, you think orange men, gigantic drums of whey powder in scary big portions with scary-bad flavours and the gym. If you’re into that; great! If you’re not and exercise for fun instead of a profession, then you’re going to be in the market for something else. This is exactly why Bulk Nutrients is as successful – amongst other reasons – as it is. And it hasn’t even been around that long. Took a tour of the Bulk Nutrients factory in Hobart. Wanted to nick a whole crate ?? #chocolate #bulknutrients #protein #bulknutrients @bulknutrients A post shared by T H E F (@the_f_online) on Jul 24, 2018 at 2:12pm PDT They do whey protein, casein, supplements, recovery supplements and heaps of other stuff for the most diligent of gym-goers, right down to the most casual. And the best bit is, it tastes great. And, when like me, you’ve just dropped a great big whack of weight, thanks to your efforts at F45 and want to give health and nutrition supplements a red hot go, and they offer to fly you to their Tasmanian mothership for a two-day fitness bender to try it all out – you know it’s going to be a good time. Bulk Nutrients is the wholly Australian owned and privately operated baby of Tasmanian local entrepreneur Ben Crowley. He started it back in 2007 as he was living abroad in Japan and found he spent so much time and money shopping online for his protein supplements from the US without… Read More

How to take-on a two-day fitness bender in Hobart with Bulk Nutrients – and survive

James Banham Bulk Nutrients

Sure there’s exercise and fitness, but doing it in Sydney on Bondi Beach, glistening under the southern sun in a balmy 25-degrees is nothing compared to doing it in the freezing cold in Hobart. Or up an even colder mountain. But, when you and a contingent of six other faces and folks in the Aussie fitness industry get on a plane and head south from Sydney to do just that as guests of Tasmanian born-and-raised protein supplement manufacturer Bulk Nutrients, you know you’re in for something quite unique. Bulk Nutrients and its founder, Ben Crowley were keen to show off the best that Tasmania – his home state and the home to his upwards of $27 million business based in Grove just out of Hobart – had to offer. And that they did. With a group of personal trainers, fitness writers, Instagrammers and bloggers in-tow, the Bulk team put themselves and their group through our paces to test the benefits of what Bulk Nutrients protein supplements can do. And after and two day assault on the bod, it seemed pretty unanimous – they work! Here’s what we took-on, what we recovered with and what we personally back. Day one with Bulk Nutrients: Arrive at Hobart airport. It’s cold. Super cold. Like, single digits cold. Coming from Sydney, it’s a shock to the system, but we all survive, order our green teas and coffee at the single cafe in the terminal before piling in to the seven-seater people mover to head to destination number one: Raw Challenge… Read More

Not-so-naughty protein cake pops with Bulk Nutrients supplements

Chocolate cake pops

Winter means comfort food and nothing says “comfort” quite like cake-on-a-stick, right? Cake pops came about a few years ago and haven’t gone anywhere, but instead, changed to accommodate the awesome things you can now do with healthier alternatives like chocolate flavoured protein powder by the likes of Australian brand Bulk Nutrients. Here’s how to make a less-guilty version of the favourite while winter is still a good enough reason to hide it. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons organic butter or coconut oil – melted 1 scoop (30g) Bulk Nutrients WPI or WPC in Chocolate 1 scoop (30g) Bulk Nutrients Egg Protein 1 scoop (2g) Bulk Nutrients Sweetvia 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1 whole egg 60g sugar free dark chocolate – melted 2 teaspoon cocoa powder 20g hazelnut or almond meal 100g wholemeal self-raising flour 60g chopped hazelnuts 1/3 cup milk of choice 1 packet, skewers Directions: Set oven to 160 degrees celsius and line a brownie tin. Place all dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add all wet ingredients. Whisk to combine. Pour mix into lined tin. Bake for about 15 minutes and check. It’s ready when the centre is firm. We overcooked ours a little bit to ensure we had crunchy edges for the Cake Pops.
