I am looking for a suggestions on nutritional suppliments after my workouts. High carbo, High protein? I swim in the morning 3 days/wk, weights 2 days/wk. I eat a whole grain cereal before my workout. Does anyone suggest one of those protein or cabo drinks that are highly advertised, I never trust those adds. I was thinking some sort of protein supplement, but I don't need to bulk up my muscles, as I am a swimmer not a muscle head. I just want some sort of muscle recovery supplement. I go straight to work after my workouts, so I need something "on the go".
Any suggestions?
I initially ignored this thread, thinking I didn't take any energy drinks. But for some reason I opened it today, and saw the references to chocolate milk. Almost every day after I get to my office, I have one of the Shamrock Farms, "Cafe Mocha," milk drinks (individually packaged in a 12 fl oz bottle, about $0.75)....a closer look reveals it says, "Fortified for energy and alertness." The ingredients start with: lowfat milk, coffee, sugar, cocoa...
These aren't readily available, they used to be found in most supermarkets, even the Super Wal-Mart and Target, but lately I have to be creative to find them (a local smaller grocery called Sprouts usually has them and I'll get like 8 when I see them).
So I guess I am kind of taking an energy drink after all....
