Creatime’s Delicious Take on the Protein and Creatine Combo
If such a thing as shake fatigue exists, then most gym-goers will more than likely suffer from it.
Between protein, creatine, electrolytes and daily greens powders, there’s a lot of liquid to consume in one day.
Not to mention water, the most important of them all. Forget to space them out and your stomach can soon feel like a washing machine on a full spin cycle.
Thankfully, industry newcomer Creatime has found a way to streamline two of the big four. Through its debut bar, consumers can now enjoy a protein and creatine combo without having to scoop, shake or glug.
Here’s what you need to know about the impressive hybrid entry, including details on macros, ingredients and where to shop.
Creatime: The Smarter Protein and Creatine Combo
The obvious win with Creatime’s dual-purpose bar is simplicity. Rather than mixing two separate powders or forcing them into one ultra-grainy shake, you get both in a snack that feels like a treat.
That concept plays into the name, Creatime – or creatine, anytime. Each bar delivers 3g of creatine monohydrate and a solid 15g of protein from a blend of hydrolysed bovine collagen and milk, whey and soy protein isolates.
The creatine content sits within the 3-5g recommended daily dose for optimal results, which isn’t something that can be said for every hybrid out there.
Unpacking the Wider Label
Creatime’s bar debuted in four moreish flavours: Salted Caramel, Cookie Crunch, Triple Choc and Creamy Raspberry.
Each one clocks in at a maximum of 144 calories, despite leaning towards dessert-style picks. Fat and carbs stay respectable at around 3.5g and 17g respectively, while sugar is no concern at 1g per serving.
Those of you reading this might be wondering why a ready-made protein and creatine combo has taken so long to come to the fore – and it’s a valid question.
There’s been a notable spike in brands moving into the category of late, but why now and not before? Where have they all been?
Well, creatine is famously unstable when exposed to high heat and moisture and can quickly break down.
Milo O’Donohoe and Tom Glynn, Creatime’s founders, stress-tested the concept with several manufacturers in their bid to make creatine craveworthy.
They went through further rounds of testing to ensure creatine could hold up in a bar format. Promising full transparency, every batch is checked for creatine content, macronutrients and traces of heavy metals – so what’s listed on the label is exactly what you’re getting.
Who’s Creatime For?
Interestingly, Creatime isn’t exclusively marketed towards gym-goers. While the nation’s lifters and runners are undoubtedly among the target audience, O’Donohoe and Glynn are keen to showcase creatine’s benefits for the wider population.
That includes the compound’s ability to enhance cognitive performance and support bone health, especially for those looking to slow age-related decline.
Creatime also wants to revamp the supplement’s male-dominated image, highlighting the fact that women – who naturally store 70-80% less creatine – often have more to gain from adding it to their daily routine.
Put simply, Creatime is for anyone who wants to enjoy the protein and creatine combo in a simple, grab-and-go package.
You can find the bars at Creatime’s online store, with prices starting from £2.48 per serving. If you’re keen to sample all the flavours in one go, the Variety Box is your best option.
