....and brandy and amphetamines.
Beryl Burton didn't need a protein shake when she got home did she?
Think how great she could have been with the advantages of modern understanding of training and nutrition.
It's been scientifically proven that the best recovery drink is actually milk. It contains all the stuff you need - fancy that the Human body producing something that is full of the stuff it actually needs. I guess mother nature knows best.
Nature knows to drink the milk of a different species which has been heavily selectively bred, injected with hormones and reproduces nearly exclusively with a farmers hand stuck up its ar*e whilst it is inseminated. well done mother nature
Also whey protein comes from milk
Well, I was thinking about your average rider rather than the pros! My Dad and his mates used Gold Label I believe, mind.

Do the records set in "days gone by" still stand, or have they been beaten?

Well that makes your reference to Beryl Burton a little confusing.
I've been wondering whether to add a spoon of protein powder to my breakfast nutribullet shake, to help with recovery and general leg tiredness. I commute in and out of work, c.10 miles each way
Currently contains spinach, apple, pear, banana, plum, peach, ginger, orange, milk, seeds and cocoa powder.
Not clear whether I should or not. Legs seem to feel tired all the time but in fairness I'm cycling regularly so wonder whether I should expect anything different
I eat fairly well, and certainly with quite a bit of quantity as well
Frij seems to have exatcly the same effect on me as For Goodness Shakes at a third the price
you might want to go back and look at the sugar content of Frijj...

Sugar isn't bad though is it, it's carbs? (In moderation obs)

A few less grams of sugar in Frijj than the For Goodness Shakes Recovery, at a whopping 49.7g sugar 😉
No wonder they make you feel different, your body will be going nuts dealing with that much sugar.
Red Bull....the healthy option.

Frij has now got a lower sugar version with 25g per bottle.
