Frankly, these and other recovery drink mixes all seem like hyper-expensive jokes. I’ll stick with chocolate milk and keep my hard-earned cash in my pocket.

Have not – but do a bit of math and compare their numbers to Susie Parker Simmon’s ideal.

I’ve been: 1. Mixing Tailwind with 20g of protein, or 2. Taking Fluid straight up, or 3. If I don’t want chocolate, taking Proven 4 Sports. BTW…. Proven 4 Sports energy drink is just rocket fuel for me.

Enjoy.

Great article Marty, I have been using Go Far products and have been happy with the results. Did you reach out to them? I have been tempted to try other products but have not gone there yet. Based on your article I may do so though. Thanks!

Feel free to do a market analysis. These are samples of the products from the companies that wanted to play. There may be others out there, but the cost to produce, independently test, and bring to market – anything – is not cheap.

If you do conduct a bit of research, be sure to look into third party verification.

Would love to know what you find out.

So what I’m reading is…NONE meet the criteria even at $4 per serving? How about other products, as clearly the pre-mix drink products don’t even come close.
