Recovery Drinks

Steven Ford

Looking at different recovery drinks and I see most of them have whey protein in them, what do people use who have a hard time with the whey protein?

 

Any suggestions

The folks at Hammer seem to suggest Soy, though they think Whey is slightly better

(see "What Kind to Use" about halfway down)

Steven,

I use Vega Performance Protein first (vegan so no whey, primarily hemp protein) and then a product called Vega ONE as a secondary recovery. Works like magic!

For you?

Home brewed beer.

I've switched to recovery burritos with sweet potato, kidney beans, ham, salsa, and a little cheese. I'm never going back to Infinit Recovery.

I really like ARM-Anabolic Recovery Matrix. Has great amounts of Glutamine, creatine, branch chains, vitamins, etc. worth taking a peek.

So Bill I can have my home brewed beer with Beth's Burrito, Sounds like a plan to me!

Steve, I think the NYT even backs up your thought process

Enjoy!

I always accompany my end-of-ride bike wash with a nice cold frosty beer.

I do like Beth's burrito idea, but I'm partial to packing up infinit recovery if so I know I have something available to me as long as I can get water.
