Recovery is essential when you're aiming for a training or fitness goal. Did you know the body recovers at the greatest rate during a two hour window immediately after exercise? You just need to give your body the right nutrients to help your muscles recover effectively.
HIGH5 Recovery Drink is the ultimate drink for after exercise and it comes in sachets or a tub depending on your preference.
Why Recovery Drink? Well, the ingredients used in the scientifically formulated blend of protein and carbs promote recovery of normal muscle function² after exercise and contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹. Muscles become sore and stiff when they are stressed during exercise. The depletion of muscle glycogen (muscle carb stores) can impair muscle function resulting in fatigue and reduced exercise performance. But, fear not. The unique forms of protein and carbohydrate in Recovery Drink are chosen to ensure you recover after intense long lasting exercise² and turn up ready to perform at your next training session. Recovery Drink also tastes great and comes in three delicious flavours: Berry, Chocolate, and Banana-Vanilla.
Here's how you can make the best post-training treat, which will aid muscle recovery at the same time. It's win-win!
Take a blender and add:
- Two scoops of Recovery Drink Banana Vanilla
- Half a ripe peach
- One cup of milk
- 150g of Greek or natural yogurt
