Common questions

What is the fastest realistic Formula 1 breakfast?
Add 2 scoops of Formula 1 shake mix (26 g) to 250 ml cold milk in a shaker bottle and shake for a few seconds: at home, once parked, on arrival or at your desk.
Can I prepare a shake ahead?
Prepare the powder, not the shake: pre-portion Formula 1 shake mix or use sachets, then mix it fresh when you drink it. Deciding tonight what breakfast and lunch will be helps too.
What should I keep at work or in my bag?
A shaker bottle, Formula 1 shake mix or sachets, a couple of Protein Bars and a bottle of water.
Is a protein bar a meal?
No. Protein Bars are a snack, handy for the gap between meals; for a quick complete meal, use a Formula 1 shake.
What is a quick lunch on a busy day?
A Formula 1 shake is the fastest complete option. If you get a short break, a supermarket or cafe option with protein, carbohydrate and something green works too: a chicken salad, a wrap or a poke bowl.
What if every day feels busy?
Then it is worth planning properly. Message Keely about your week and we’ll help you build a routine that fits.
What if I do not have milk?
Protein Drink Mix mixes well with water on its own. For the current dairy-free Formula 1 option, ask Keely what is in stock.
