Protein Power - Introducing our New Protein Power Chicken Boxes

Here at Mettrick's we have created a new Super Lean extra trimmed meat range in association with local Great British athlete Eric Ham.

The perfect addition to a nutrition plan geared towards improving health, losing weight and increasing energy levels, all items in our Super Lean meat range are low in fat and calories yet high in protein.

All of our meat is unprocessed and of the highest quality, with no added water or salt, which can often be the detriment of any keen dieter. 


People often think the healthier option is to choose white meat over red, but this is simply not true, red meat can be just as lean and packed full of protein.
Another misconception comes in the form of supermarket 'low fat meat' ranges, which are actually often pumped full of added water and salt, which can make the keenest of dieters more hungry directly after eating. 

In association with Eric Ham, a local Great British Judo athlete, we have put together a range of super lean cuts of meat that are all high in protein and low in calories. 

Eric relies on a fresh supply of our super lean chicken as part of his hectic training schedule; 

 

 "Mettrick's chicken is of the highest quality, I choose to eat the extra trimmed super lean chicken as part of my training schedule as I find it helps increase energy levels and build muscle.  "

Eric Ham 
Judo Athlete for Great Britain 




So whether you're a body builder, an athlete or just looking to eat a bit healthier by making healthier choices our Slimmers Choice Meat Boxes are the perfect choice. 

Our Slimmers Choice Meat Boxes are designed to save you money. For just £20, you can select a variety of options from our super lean meat range, from piri piri extra lean turkey steaks to our extra lean chicken kebabs which also contain one of your five a day!

Nutritional Properties

Nutritional Value

Super Lean Minced Beef Rich source of protein, also loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, including zinc, vitamin B6, and alpha lipoic acid, these are responsible for creating antibodies and keeping blood sugar levels in check.  3 ½ oz (100g) serving of our 100% visible super lean mince has just 124 calories and 4.2 grams of fat, but offers up 24 grams of protein.
Super Lean Chicken Fillets (Extra Trimmed) Loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, including iron, vitamin B6, and an amino acid called tryptophan which will help you feel fuller for longer. Chicken also has a high protein to calorific value, which means it is ideal for the natural repair of the body's muscles and bones after exercise.   3 ½ oz (100g) serving of our extra trimmed chicken has just 97 calories and 2.3 grams of fat, but offers up 22 grams of protein.
Super Lean Turkey Steaks (Extra Trimmed)

Turkey meat is a source of iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorous, all of which are essential nutrients our body craves. It is also a source of vitamin B6 and niacin, which are essential for the body's energy production. If that wasn't enough, turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan, which produces serotonin and plays an important role in strengthening the immune system. 

3 ½ oz (100g) serving of our extra trimmed turkey steaks contains 106 calories and 0.6 grams of fat, but offers up 25 grams of protein.
Low Fat Free Range Pork Sausages

Pork offers a much higher potassium content when compared to poultry and is a good source of Vitamin B6 and Phosphorus. Pork is also very good source of Protein, Thiamin, Niacin and Selenium.

3 ½ oz (100g) serving (2 sausages) of our low fat pork sausage contains 199 calories and 9.5 grams of fat, but offers up 28 grams of protein.

If you are worried about eating red meat too often, there's no need as many leading dieticians now say you can safely eat lean red meat up to twice a week and to simply make sure you choose the right stuff which is at least 90% lean.

Mettricks Create Blue Pork Pie to Celebrate Glossop North End in FA Vase 2015 Final

It’s not something you come across every day while browsing the shelves of your local butcher…but to celebrate Glossop North End making it to the 2015 FA Vase final at Wembley on May 9th, we have created a BLUE pork pie!

A family sized limited edition blue pork pie costs £4.90 or a medium sized pie is just £1.25. If you buy a family sized pie or four medium sized pies you will also get a 30p off voucher to spend on one of two Howard Town Brewery ales at Praze in Glossop

Our special edition pork pie is reminiscent of a time 6 years ago, when Glossop North End made it to Wembley and we created the blue sausage, which went down a storm in and around Glossop! 

Also, in 2010 Mettrick’s won the best football pie in the country with one of the pies they supply to Glossop North End.

Coming up with the idea was the easy part! After umpteen attempts we decided edible blue food spray was the only way to get the pie to change colour!

John Mettrick is donating 10 per cent of the proceeds from the blue pork pie to the club, which he’s also been supporting with meaty offerings on the club’s journey to Wembley.


 The blue pork pies are on sale in our Glossop shop and also available to order for the rest of the week.

Get in touch now using our contact form below and we will aim to respond within two hours! 
Lets hope this time the Hillmen are victorious on May 9th at Wembley and the FA Vase will be coming to Glossop.
