I'm breaking away from my daily updates to talk for a minute about recovery. In P90x, Tony always pushes the P90x recovery drink. Shaun T also pushes a recovery drink, which I believe is the same as the P90x one. It is supposed to be a VERY good drink, both in taste and nutrients. I can't afford it. After doing some research, it is 1 part protein to 4 parts carbs(sugars). Many people substitute chocolate milk as it has that same ratio.
I like to use milk, protein powder, frozen blue berries, and frozen strawberries. Obviously the powder provides the protein and while I haven't measured it out, the berries contribute a fair bit of sugar. I also feel I get some other benefits out of this as berries are a great source of fiber and anti-oxidants.
After experimenting in P90x, a recovery drink really does make a difference when taken shortly after working out. It reduces soreness and restores energy levels much quicker than food. I felt it was important to put this down for anyone who is following this and not drinking something.
Now go Dig Deep or Bring It!
