RECOVERY DRINKS

I usually take a recovery drink post workout. I have been skint recently with xmas and stuff so ive been mixing a cheap isotonic sports drink with a scoop of whey instead it's probably not nutritionally as benficial but it strangely tastes very much like a particularly expensive brand of drink. I don't really understand all the ingridients but im guessing they are both full of simple sugars. If there is a resident expert on these matters i'd love to know more ( reps probably aren't impartial) Any info would be appreciated.

Simple sugars easily absorbed proteins are the cornerstones of these products.
 
Whey + sports drink is a fine recovery drink.

What's the expensive brand you're talking about?

Whey in water and a banana does well for me, don't see the need for an "expensive" recovery formula.

Whey and wine gums :)

I usually peel some oranges and leave them in my fridge for after my workout. Plus isolate + water + creapure. Then a good diet and Nexgen tabs.

I'd pick Creatine over a RTD, anyday. Most of the bulk suppliers do them very cheap.

Nothing wrong with that mate sounds good . I use Asda own make as well .

I just use a isolate with added leucine and water

Since dropping sugars pwo - bodycomP has changed significantly for the better

Agree with this. A lot of times my energy isn't too bad so leave the carbs out. Or maybe just 1 orange. Other times I need time. I suppose it's all about knowing your body really.

Yep unless dieting I can't a great demand for ramming sugars down pwo

I have my shake as above then around 30mins later a protein pancake - I put 50g of oats in this / 6 egg whites and 50g protein blend

I take creatine normally,just out at the minute though.
