Performance Nutrition Plus is perfect for the person who knows they should eat better but also wants to enjoy life. They stock protein-packed pancakes that taste like actual pancakes, not gym guilt. And they have a range of electrolyte tablets that dissolve in water and make you feel like you’ve chugged a Gatorade fountain—without the neon green tongue.
One time, I bought a spirulina powder that turned my smoothie into the color of a swamp ogre’s spit. The staff warned me. They literally said, “This will make your drink look radioactive.” I didn’t listen. Do I regret it? Yes. But I also felt incredibly healthy while I gagged it down. That’s the Performance Nutrition Plus guarantee: you’ll look like a health nut, even if you smell faintly of pond water.

The Hidden Gem: Advice That Doesn’t Make You Snooze
Most nutrition advice is delivered with the enthusiasm of a tax auditor reading a spreadsheet. At 6 Molesworth Street, they make it fun. I asked about meal timing, and the assistant said, “Eat before you get hangry, and don’t save your protein bar for a funeral—it’s not that fancy.” That’s practical wisdom, folks. They also told me that 85% of people overestimate how much protein they need, which means I can stop pretending to like tuna.
And here’s a surprising fact that will blow your mind: the shop is located right next to a bakery. I know, I know—it’s like putting a dieter’s paradise next to a carb carnival. But the folks at Performance Nutrition Plus embrace the irony. One of them told me, “A cinnamon roll won’t kill you, but maybe don’t eat three. We’ll sell you the protein wrap for the other two meals.” Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.
