Chocolate milkshake for recovery. Perfect blend of carbs and protein.

Years ago I really got into mint choc chip from my protein but their prices have really shot up
Postage is Ā£4 unless you spend more than Ā£50 (I think) hence the Ā£40 after the discount.

Is it any cheaper though? For me, the number one factor is convenience. I can buy some sort of chocolate powder i guess; but is that any better than just having a glass of milk? Being able to take it with water is a bonus, as weāre always blimmin low on food in this house, due to our inability to keep on top of of our food shopping!!! 
Nesquick probably isnāt far off. The chocolate element adds the sugar = carbs part. The milk is the fat and protein.

Mine arrived while I was at the gym lunchtime. Iām off to try one now, I went for the strawberry; havenāt bought any for years but used to find the chocolate flavour a bit claggy.
ETA - Made it with half water, half skimmed milk. Not much flavour, smells more of strawberry than it tastes but not unpleasant and mixed up easily.
Yeah nesquick, and semi skimmed milk. Full fat milk I think has too much fat and slows the absorption.
I like the Tesco ready made chocolate milk in cartons as well
Iām just āusingā semi skimmed milk.
Meh. Lifeās too short to miss out on full fat

Sounds like those zeros I pop in my sports bottle are probably a waste of money

I only on race simulations, race days and really hot days, use the zero tabs. So usually well over 4hrs.
Despite there never having been evidence everyone I speak to about race day nutrition takes electrolytes ābecause it stops them crampingā. Itās not always worth debating it with them.
I also use them sometimes when I have a hang over. No idea if it helps.

And the tablets are sodium citrate, so no chloride either.
But at least theres some evidence and rationale for sodium replacement in prolonged hot exercise. Itās the love of magnesium and few other supps that frustrates me more. Pillar Performance are huge here in South Aus, and starting to spread to Europe/USA.

Ah interesting. This is the problem with sports supplements, there is no independent research.
