Cake before crunches? Well, this pre-workout snack is our dream

Remember the last time you were advised to tuck into a cake before crunching like your life depended on it?

Yeah, us neither, but it looks like that’s all set to change as a new range of nutritious pre-workout treats hit shelves across Ireland.

The brainchild of Dublin-based bakers, Broderick’s Brothers, BC’ Before Cake’ are high in protein and fibre, low in calories, gluten and wheat-free, and include ingredients such as dried red apple, juicy sultanas, cinnamon, high quality cocoa, and roasted hazelnuts.

And they come highly recommended as well.

Having joined forces with World Champion and three time Olympian Derval O'Rourke, Broderick’s Brothers are keen to tap into Ireland’s current and ever-growing #FitFam trend.

“The Irish consumer is becoming increasingly health conscious and these products will allow them to maintain that ethos while enjoying a guilt free treat full of high quality ingredients,” they said.

"I am passionate about imparting the knowledge I have gained around nutrition and performance and the guys have taken it all on board and have included some really strong nutritional credentials in this range," Derval added.

With the help of  food technologists, sensory analysts, nutritional experts, the Broderick’s Brothers have created three nutritious snacks which speak to the priorities of today’s health-focussed generation.

“We have maintained the unrivalled quality of our products and married it with a guilt-free treat. We have not rushed this process, as it was so important to make sure the products were perfect,” they added.

Our pre-gym prep has just gotten a lot tastier, ladies.
