No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, tastes fine, mixes easily, blends well with fruit/ice nuts.
If you're spending more than 50 cents per recovery drink you're wasting money. I usually go with fruit/ice/scoop of protein powder, sometimes just chocolate milk (you have to use a lot of chocolate to get enough sugar by the way).
As long as you get a 4:1 simple carb/clean protein ratio you're sorted. Read the label on a 4 dollar recovery drink like Muscle Milk. Once you get to the end of the list of 50 ingredients recall that what you're after is that 4:1 ratio of simple sugar to protein. It's not magic, no brand of anything is particularly better than another.
My personal preference is something as simple, clean and unprocessed as possible. A 5 pound jug of 100% Natural Whey costs $45 and lasts me several months. I estimate my cost per recovery shake at under 50 cents.
I'm giving glutamine a try after reading the research on it. Will report back after i've had 4-6 weeks to evaluate its impact (if any) on training.
Getting proper nutrition doesn't have to be expensive. It ain't magic, it's science.
