The refuel: What you need to know about Mixology
Our Mixology bar has been an integral part of the TRIB3 experience since day one. As one of our unique selling points, our onsite protein bar gives our customers, what we call our TRIB3Rs, nine options of highly nutritious and tasty shakes to choose from. Each shake is carefully prepared with the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats to help aid muscle recovery and replenish energy, as you can burn up to 1,000 calories in a single TRIB3 session.
TRIB3Rs can order their shakes before the workout so they’re ready and waiting when they finish their session. Each shake is made-to-order with the highest quality ingredients, blended up with either juice or almond milk, nut-butters and fruit. With vegan and gluten free options, there’s something for everyone.
Each TRIB3 store offers nine signature shakes, which are divided into three categories; Refresh, Recover, and Replace. We also have our ‘Shake of the Month” which is themed around special occasions and events and can be nominated by our TRIB3Rs too.
REFRESH
Refresh shakes are low-calorie shakes that will provide you with a light nutritional boost after your workout. One of our most popular shakes is the Berry Blitz, made with mixed berries, protein and almond milk, it’s the perfect way to top off your workout but keep things light with only 186 calories.
RECOVER
These are our high protein, lower carbohydrate shake options, designed for recovery, which offer a quick delicious blast of protein straight after your workout. You can choose from Banana Almond, Strawberry Blast or Simply Protein, depending on what you’re in the mood for that day!
REPLACE
Lastly, we have our replace range. These shakes are higher in calories but packed with protein and nutrients to replenish you throughout the day, such as our signature Simply Peanut Butter shake, which is a TRIB3R favourite.
Whenever you finish a high intensity session, it’s really important to refuel with protein and carbohydrates as you have just burned hundreds of calories very quickly. Research has shown that consuming 24-30g of protein in the 15-20 minute window immediately after your workout has been proven to reduce muscle soreness and boost recovery. That’s why we’ve selected high quality protein blends that are fast acting and easily digestible, making it the perfect choice for replenishing your body post-workout. It’s also important to have shakes with carbohydrates as carbohydrates are our body’s primary fuel source. When you workout, you deplete your carbohydrates stores. Pairing carbohydrates with protein has been scientifically proven to increase the absorption rate of the protein, speeding up your recovery and getting you ready for your next TRIB3 session!
The Mixology bar is also a great way for TRIB3 franchisees to drive their store results. Shakes are a key part of secondary spend, which will grow to over 15% of monthly revenues, and the social setting of the mixology area makes a great place for events and networking, driving usage and connection between your workout warriors.
