What Protein Powder Does Barry's Use?
We’re proud to say that Barry’s has been adding HERMOSA protein powders to Barry’s shakes at their London studio since 2014. Why? Because we’re obsessed with creating the best-tasting, smoothest protein shakes on the planet. We’re talking sustainable, non-GMO ingredients sourced from grass-fed cows and the best quality plant-based protein that make non-grainy, gluten-free shakes sweetened only with natural Stevia.
No wonder Barry’s and HERMOSA have been inseparable gym buddies for years!
