Do you use them? Which ones? And are they any good?
Sorry if this has been posted before but I`m upping my training and was wondering which drinks(or even food) are best to aid recovery between sessions.

Surely this is against all triathlon lore?
Seriously, good thread this, I need to think more about what I'm eating after training.
Chocolate and Guinness it is then.
Lol.
Basically cos the range they do with the flavours you can kind of match you whole nutrition needs around them. The gels are isotonic so very easy to take without water, although the energy bars are quite dry i have difficulty eating on the bike no matter what it is, but when the electrolyte drink is the same flavour it goes dwn easier.
Basically i have PSP for energy drink GO for during after with the bars and gels during long rides and runs...
They even do a pre nightout product designed to reduce a hangover and a sleep assisting recovery drink although i havent tried these.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I only really use it after core/strength training.
Pigsy
Promax
Thermabol
Viper Extreme
Viper Turbo
although a couple of guy's at work seem to rate 'NO Xplode', but that seem's more for before and during excercise....
Is it like downing a cup of tea after a full english? Or a beer after a hot curry?
Seriously though, I don't know much about recovery drinks, I'm on the nesquik milkshakes after a workout, but don't get a buzz off it. Should I consider an alternative?

Given up buscuits for lent, god i miss them [:(] (pardon the punnnn)
In the past I have used bot SiS and MaxiM products - I was fascinated to find that SiS Rego caused me to increase my body fat% and MaxiM recovermax caused me to develop more muscle. However in the off season I find cow power is good enough.

What about a malt loaf smoothie?
Is it possible to liquidise malt loaf with milk and maybe a banana.
I dont have the kitchen equipment to try this out but it seems it might work!
Fat can be removed from milk to produce different types of milk. Milk is available as whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk. The fat content of these varies:
[ul][*]
Whole milk contains 3.9g fat per 100ml,
Semi-skimmed milk provides 1.7g fat per 100ml [/align][*]
Skimmed milk provides 0.2g fat per 100ml [/align][*]
1% milk, a blend of skimmed and semi-skimmed milk has recently become available and contains 1g fat/100ml or less.[/align][/ul]
