Protein Powder for recovery?

Try choclate milk.  It has plenty of protein in it.

Thanks 

I'm 47 and have begun noticing the same effect. I like Orgain chocolate powder. It's plant-based and tastes good- plus helps me from being so hungry the next day.

Thank you!

Hi - I am a 66 year old (very) long time swimmer. 

You may wish to investigate the following four products to assist with physical recovery. I have been using Bodylogix for the last two+ years. 

1. Bodylogix Natural Isolate. Has all the right stuff except ProHydrolase, but best of breed otherwise. Available on Amazon.
2. DBA Evolve Whey-26 Advanced. This product and several like it with “Whey-26 Advanced” appear to be private label products from Vita-Labs. This does contain ProHydrolase and is why I mention it. Clean product, too bad it appears to not be available on Amazon currently.
3. BioTrust Low Carb Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder. Is a protein blend as opposed to a whey isolate, which is OK, but I prefer an isolate for quick absorption. Does contain ProHydrolase, and appears to be a good product I’d recommend.
4. Transparent Labs 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate. Simple, clean. Not sure of how well it mixes, or taste, but has good user reviews.

There is a lot of peer reviewed scientific lilterature regarding this. Bottom line is that protein supplementation immediately after workouts and reaching a total daily protein intake much higher than recommended for non-athletes of "mature" age (and for younger athletes) has been shown to be good for muscle rebuilding, workout recovery, and general competitive conditioning. If you do a search you will find a lot of info but be sure to look for scientific articles and not just marketing pitches. Whey protein has usually been found to be the best supplement. There are a zillion recommendations for specific brands; I do not think it makes that much difference. Milk by itself is not that great. 

i like the whey protein isolate from Optimum Nutrition, chocolate bliss flavor. Tastes good, mixes easily with water, milk or almond milk. 26 grams of protein per scoop.

55 y/o, 20+ yr USMS.  I use P2Life and am not affiliated with the company.  Designed by swimmers for swimmers.  The NutriBoost Chocolate Shake is the best in my opinion and I add a little PowerBoost to it.  Not the most economical of concoctions but, for me, it seems to work well.

Smoothie King Gladiator protein mix is your best bet- phenomenal results and easy to drink with water- you’ll never go wrong. It helps with all aspects.

cheers
