What does Graeme think about GetBuzzing bars?

"Finding healthy and tasty snacks for athletes is one of the biggest challenges of the sport nutritionist. Most athletes now understand how to make great choices at meal times but can struggle for options between meals. Getbuzzing bars not only taste great but help me to achieve my nutritional goals with the athletes I work with. Now the bars with extra protein are batch tested it means I can use the entire get buzzing range with confidence.

I am also delighted to be able to help Getbuzzing ensure that their products are research informed, utilising my experience both as an academic researcher and applied nutrition consultant."
