With the beautiful weather going on, ice cream is, naturally, one of those things we start to fixate on. Two chaps with a healthy solution to your frozen treat cravings are Greg Duggan and Damien Kennedy, founders of protein high and refined sugar-free ice cream brand, WheyHey!
With a pair of physiology degrees and masters in Human Performance behind them, we thought they'd be perfect summer candidates to snap their week in food.
Here's the results.

Monday
'We like to start the week as we mean to go on, with a protein green smoothie bowl. It’s high in protein, fibre and packed with vitamins, and the vibrant colours are enough to put a smile on your face on a Monday morning. For the full recipe, visit our blog.'
Tuesday
'Protein pancakes that are sugar free, gluten free and low in fat are the perfect breakfast/brunch food. As we had a busy day of work ahead we chose these as they release energy slowly throughout, so they’ll keep you going all the way to lunch, snack-free.'
Wednesday
'We like to indulge in something pretty spectacular on hump day, just to keep the week exciting. This creation is the Wheyhey the Ultimate Burger: a mix of savoury and sweet that blends lean, crispy bacon with mashed avocados, protein ice cream and savoury protein pancakes. This is the healthiest alternative to a traditional burger and it’s seriously nutritious and delicious.'
Thursday
For Thursday night movie-watching, there's got to be a sweet treat. This pie is made using our banoffee flavour ice cream – get the recipe here.'
Friday
If you’re feeling a bit sore from a few drinks on Thursday night, you’ll appreciate this take on a Virgin Mary. All natural ingredients, no added sugar, low in fat and jam packed with vitamins and minerals, plus it’s got around 20g of protein so it’s surprisingly filling. It does the trick as a late morning snack.'
Saturday
'Saturdays tend to involve some kind of workout so it’s key that we’re getting the right mix of nutrients, energy and protein to keep us fuelled throughout the day. This is the perfect breakfast shake – as well as being thick and delicious, it’s full of whey protein from the Wheyhey and CocoPro ingredients. It’s totally natural, gluten free and low in sat fats.'
Sunday
'The day of the roast. We’re partial to chicken done any way you like. But we always like something sweet to finish on, without blowing our hard work during the week. This is a raw chia seed pud that's also full of nuts and their great detoxifying qualities.'
