We're always thrilled when new products make their way to our shelves, and we know you're just as excited too! And whilst we’ve had months to prepare when we launch something new—sampling the product for flavour, texture and consistency and understanding all the features, benefits and how to use it best—with every fresh arrival, we understand you’re getting your first glimpse, and so along with that, there are likely a bunch of questions you have too. Questions like…

• What does it taste like?
• What are the benefits?
• How can I incorporate it into my daily routine?

At Happy Way, we're all about educating and empowering our customers on everything related to health and wellness. However, we also know that sometimes it's great to hear from someone other than the brand itself—a trustworthy expert who can give their honest opinion and insight into their experience with the product in question.

That's where Cassie Slaney from @bodylovenutrition_ comes in! Cassie’s not only a nutritionist and dietitian, but she’s also a proud mum and passionate recipe creator. She's here to spill the smoothie on our latest arrivals at Happy Way, giving you the inside scoop on her new faves—FLAVOURLESS PROTEIN POWDER, GRAPE BUBBLE GUM PROTEIN WATER and SLEEP TIGHT HOT CHOCCY. Cassie happily shares her insights on all three products, including her take on the flavours, the amazing benefits they offer, and her favourite recipes and creative ways to incorporate them into her daily routine. Thanks Cassie!

WHY DO YOU LOVE HAPPY WAY?

Happy Way has become a staple in my day-to-day—I love that the products are 100% natural, taste delicious and are versatile to use in everyday cooking and baking.

I love the wide product range, and the Happy Way brand values that ‘being healthy should be fun!’ This aligns with my own values as I’m super passionate about enjoying all foods without guilt and focusing on balance over restriction. 

WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE OF OUR 3 LATEST PRODUCTS?

The new Flavourless Protein Powder is a game-changer for me, and I love using it in a variety of savoury recipes—one of them being my Homemade Bagel recipe. 

DO YOU PREFER WHEY OR VEGAN PRODUCTS? 

I use both whey and vegan formulas and love the versatility of having my favourite flavours available in both varieties. 

SLEEP TIGHT HOT CHOCCY

What’s your opinion on the taste?

This tastes like a sweet and cosy hug in a mug! It’s not overly sweet like many other brands, and it mixes well with either hot water or milk. 

How do you use it in your day-to-day? 

I make my Sleep Tight Hot Choccy by combining 2 tablespoons with hot, frothy milk and enjoy it at the end of my day to unwind. It’s the perfect way to indulge in some ‘me time’ and reflect on the day. 

What do you think of the ingredients and nutritional information?

The ‘no added sugar’ is a standout for me compared to other hot chocolate products out there. The addition of chamomile is a great natural relaxant, and magnesium can also aid in relaxing muscles too. 

Who should use it, and how or when should they consume it? 

The Sleep Tight Hot Choccy is designed to have in the evening as part of your bedtime ritual. Combine 2 tablespoons with 200 ml of hot water or your choice of heated milk. If you have special dietary requirements, you should check with a dietitian before using this product. 

Can you share your favourite recipe using Sleep Tight Hot Choccy?

I love to top my Sleep Tight Hot Choccy with marshmallows for that extra treat at the end of the day. See my recipe here. 

GRAPE BUBBLEGUM PROTEIN WATER

What’s your opinion on the taste?

The Grape Bubble Gum Protein Water is super refreshing whilst being fruity and sweet. It’s a great alternative to a milky drink. 

How do you use it in your day-to-day?

I mix the Grape Bubble Gum Protein with just water—it’s simple and a thirst-quencher and adds a subtle flavour to my daily H2O.

What do you think of the ingredients and nutritional information?

I’m impressed this product contains 8 essential amino acids and less than 1 g of sugar per serving, making it a great option for a sweet drink without the addition of too much sugar (one serve is 30 g with 200 ml water). 

Who should use it, and how or when should they consume it?

Simply mix this with water to create a fun hydration game-changer! Combine two heaped tablespoons with water or your milk of choice. If you have special dietary requirements, you should check with a dietitian before using this product. 

FLAVOURLESS PROTEIN POWDER

What’s your opinion on the taste?

I was surprised the taste is completely flavourless, making it a great neutraliser to add to both sweet and savoury recipes. There’s also no funny aftertaste, so it’s a great addition to absolutely anything really! 

How do you use it in your day-to-day?

I use the Flavourless Protein Powder in various baking recipes, such as homemade bagels and vegetable frittatas, and I’ve also added it to overnight oats or smoothies for a protein boost with a neutral taste. It’s so versatile! 

What do you think of the ingredients and nutritional information?

It’s great to see this product has minimal ingredients (only 2), and one serve provides 25 g of protein, which is roughly equivalent to the protein in 4 large eggs (one serve is 30 g of Flavourless Protein). This makes it easy to boost your protein intake without the need to add a large volume of food. 

Who should use it, and how or when should they consume it? 

This is a great option for those who have a savoury taste preference. Combine 2 heaped tablespoons with water or your milk of choice, or mix into recipes such as various sweet or savoury baked goods or dishes. If you have special dietary requirements, you should check with a dietitian before using this product. 

Can you share your favourite recipe using Flavourless Protein Powder?

My favourite recipe would be my Homemade Bagels. They’re easy peasy to make and taste amazing when you add your favourite spreads.

We're all about making your health and wellness journey enjoyable, and with Cassie's expertise, you'll be well-equipped to make the most of these Happy Way faves.
