Any reasonably priced alternatives to Rego that people reccommend? I find rego works well but just fancied a change see if any other products are nicer and less fart producing for similar price!

High 5 Protein Recovery is much nicer IMO, not sure if it's cheaper.

Maximuscle RecoverMax or Cyclone are also very palatable, but probably more expensive than Rego.

Chocolate milkshake?

banana, nesquik, pint of milk.

trouble with chocolate milkshake is i'll just drink it way before i've even done any riding! At least with the slightly odd taste of rego etc i'm not tempted to have them until the end!

Torq do a nice recovery shake powder. My favourite is Strawberry Cream flavour.

after extensive scientific tests, yea right.. i find that choc milkshake works as well as anything on most of my normal rides, its only when i do a hard race or a long hilly day ride that i find torq makes me feel a little better, still could be placebo though. in anycase the number 1 thing for feeling better is proper hydration before during and after.

Rego rapid.

Haven't tried it yet but carbohydrate drink with Whey protein mixed in with it. Allows you to mix and match the ratio of carb to protein and cheaper than buying an all in one. If you time it right then Holland & barret have a half price sale on the whey protein powder and you can stock up 😀

Milk.

High 5 recovery is good.
Chocolate and Summer fruits both really tasty.

50g maltodextrin powder
25g protein powder (I use Soya stuff from Holland and Barrett)
25g fructose (availble in the sugar section of Asda/Sainsburys)

Shake it all up in 750ml water, add a dash of squash to taste and down it immediately after a long ride.
