Razors Edge ★ Posted April 9, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2018 @LabDaddy got me testing out some protein powders for my post-ride "recovery". I'm wondering how folks use this sort of thing - ie like I am as simply a post-ride/work-out supplement OR as a daily protein boost. Essentially, the protein powder has replaced my normal chocolate milk recovery drink (Quik + milk). On the plus side, tons more protein and just as tasty, but on the negative side, maybe lacking in sugar to help boost that up a bit. Of course, there is some natural sugar in milk, but not like there is in Quik. Anyway, I don't think lack of sugar is a problem for me, so I'm fine with leaving it out. I do need to work on my blending of the powder into the milk. It seems to clump a little bit more than I like, and some sticks to the spoon I use to stir the drink. Maybe a pulse or two in the blender would do the trick. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted April 9, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 9, 2018 I just have Bobs protein powder mixed with water. I'll even drink the unflavored stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta have a little flavor and so far only in milk. But I might try in water today to see if the clumping is different. If it tastes the same, I'll maybe go to water, but I think the milk does add some other positives like the fat and sugars. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 11, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 11, 2018 I use unflavored, unsweetened pure organic whey mixed in water, works good for me. I had trouble finding anything that didn't have either soy or sucralose and most had both so I shopped online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found two so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
