Gym Bod's Protein Dipped Sticks are a Macro-Friendly Snack
Laura McQuarrie — March 12, 2026 — Lifestyle
Gym Bod's Protein Dipped Sticks lineup, which currently includes Caramel Choc and Vanilla Choc varieties, is expanding to include two fresh new chocolate-dipped flavors: Choc Boysenberry and Choc Honeycomb. Perfect for fans of macro-friendly snacking and all things chocolate, the new Protein Dipped Sticks match the rest of the range, delivering six grams of protein per stick and remain 95% sugar-free.
Protein-focused ice cream bars are winning over consumers who want something cold, creamy and satisfying without compromise, providing the treat-yourself moment of a classic frozen novelty with the work of a post-workout recovery snack or a smarter late-night indulgence. For anyone navigating that familiar tension between craving something sweet and staying aligned with their health goals, a protein ice cream on a stick offers the rare and welcome permission to have both.
