Anyone know of any brands that do dairy free recovery drinks?
I've tried Torq recovery but the whey protein doesn't agree with me - I got sick and bloated. I could try adding Torq Raw to a shake made with soya milk or something but I wondered if anyone knew of any dairy free ones.
Beer?
IIRC alpro chocolate soya milk contains a reasonable amount of protein. Given that standard chocolate milk is reported to be as good as recovery stuff it might work.
Can't drink beer but I do like a pint of cider after a ride!
hmm choccy soya milk....certainly cheaper than sports drinks. might try that. I've got a shake made with almond milk and mashed banana for when I get home tonight.
I buy bulk dextrose & pea protein isolate, and make a smoothie with a couple of bananas, 0.5l of choc soy drink, salt, and the dextrose & protein. I just whiz it up in a pint glass with a hand mixer, straight after training.
You're aiming for 4:1 protein to carb ratio, so you have to juggle the quantities a bit depending on whether you use bananas or not, what brand of soy etc, and of course your bodyweight.
I just make my own using hemp protein, flaxseed, agave syrup, almonds, dates and raw cacao nibs. Add a banana and 500ml of water and it is plenty thick enough. I find it very filling and only drink half of it and take the other half to work the next day.
Im not convinced soy protein is that good.
SIS recovery is dairy free I think.
Strongbow I think is dairy free?
