zeepee Posted November 13, 2011 Share Hi all Just wanted to get some opinions on recovery drinks. I'm training quite hard at the moment and want to start experimenting with a few different recovery drinks.I've tried USN Recovermax but there's too much sugar in their products for my liking. Before long rides and races I drink Megan's endurashake which is awesome, but looking for something to drink afterwardsI've never been a big fan of meal replacement shakes. But with the amount of training I'm doing now I know I need to get the good stuff into my body quickly after a ride to maximize my recovery. Appreciate your comments and suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your comments and suggestions Make your own, its simple and cheap. You need whey protein/simple carbs/glutamine. I take 20g whey protein/30g simple carbs like dextrose/5g glutamine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Break Posted November 13, 2011 Share Soy protein from the health isle at Pick n Pay, frozen yoghurt, pudding spoon of peanut butter, cashew nuts, pudding spoon or two of choc nesquick. Will do the same trick as the expensive shakes and you can be sure there are no "hidden banned" substances in it as some of the products on our shelves do.

Dicky DQ Posted November 13, 2011 Share Milo, Choc Nesquick etc. Probably the cheapest and the best. Edited November 13, 2011 by Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeepee Posted November 13, 2011 Share He he, Eks verbaas niemand se boerie roll en n bier nie? Ok I see most people is not too keen on the recovery shakes. I like the idea of a homemade one Jaco. How about some pepto-pro in there? Ek hoor daai goed week lekker? Het iemand dit al gebruik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted November 13, 2011 Share If you don't have money to burn, go for low fat milk and Nesquik. Or ow fat yogurt. Milk has proteins, fats, calcium and fluid. The Nesguik/Milo will give you some carbs. And you can make it as sweet as you like. I do not believe in coughing up R400 for 1kg of dust that tastes like vomit (read Epic pro)If you do have the $$$, the sky is the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted November 13, 2011 Share Make your own, its simple and cheap. You need whey protein/simple carbs/glutamine. I take 20g whey protein/30g simple carbs like dextrose/5g glutamine +1 Whey protein from PnP mixed with gauve juice. 35g after the ride, then again in the evening and again the following day help tremendously.

King_Crispy Posted November 13, 2011 Share After the 94.7 mtb (challenge??) this morning I found that a Castle is not a great recovery drink, Heineken is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
