	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/how-metalab-is-transforming-protein-from-gym-essential-to-pantry-staple-514590a</link>
	<description>Protein is often linked to "gym bros" pursuing their quest to bulk up.

	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/pantry-x-lelive-why-this-erewhon-inspired-smoothie-collaboration-is-brilliant-399798a</link>
	<description>Erewhon's celebrity smoothies have taken social media by storm. As a beauty enthusiast, I'm especially interested in the store's collaboration with Rhode founder Hailey Bieber: the Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie. It's a perfect match, connecting Erewhon's wellness focus with Bieber's skincare influence. South African brands are catching on. Amanda du-Pont's skincare brand, Lelive, has teamed up with Pantry by Marble, the South African luxury retailer, to create the All Glow’d Up Smoothie.</description>
