Just curious if anyone else has tried this. I asked my DW to pick me up some chocolate milks and some vanilla milks, if she could find any, for after races and long runs. She came home with a chocolate and a vanilla Rockin' Refuel. I thought they were pretty good.

Have not tried....but the dirt poor graduate student version I used to make was 2 scoops dried milk mixed into chocolate milk. "Protein fortified."

2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

When I was training for higher mileage races I liked to do Carnation Instant Breakfast made with lactose-free milk.

Why lactose-free? For the longest time I would have awful gastric issues post-run...I blamed it on the effort. Then I had a lightbulb moment and considered that maybe it was the recovery drink. Changed the milk and had no issues after that.

I've not tried any fancy 'fortified' refuel chocolate milks -- my recovery drink of choice is a glass of plain old lowfat chocolate milk from the supermarket refrigerator. The only downside is perishability, but I prefer the taste to non-refrigerated chocolate milk drinks like Nesquik.

Will give it a try.

Most of the non-milk recovery drinks I've tried don't taste very good. I think my wife said the Rockin' Refuels were $1.39 each. Seems like a reasonable price.

Have you tried this? Big grin

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

That is pretty reasonable as those things go. I've also used SlimFast with powdered milk added.
