Macacha plant protein, from £22

When it comes to vegan plant protein, it can be a challenge to find one that not only tastes good but is also nutritionally balanced with botanicals. Macacha is our go-to wellness brand that offers an incredible range of protein powders. Choose from three blends: Energy, with added maca and yerba mate for those who are feeling a little fatigued and need a boost; Beauty, formulated with raw cacao and rose hip, which targets skin concerns from the inside and out; and Peace, a vanilla-based protein with added lavender and holy basil to de-stress and balance – think of this as yoga equivalent of the protein powder world.

Rowbots

Move over Barry’s, there’s a new workout in town. Rowbots is the place to book for a calorie-burning and toning workout led by a team of elite trainers (some are even ex-professional footballers). So what makes this class so unique? It’s themed around the rowing machine, which is lower impact than running and, in the long run, prevents injuries, combined with strength and conditioning exercises. Beauty fanatics will love the changing rooms, equipped with Dyson hairdryers and Byredo body products. We can’t think of a better combo.
