Product Information

Way too many people still try to get by with doing nothing after a long ride. Maybe they will get something to eat at some point, or they will sip some water.

It is also very easy for people to consume, even for a vegetarian since it is gluten-free. Along with helping so many different people out, it comes in a variety of common flavors that make it easy to mix things into the daily routine. As Bike Radar advises, racers should ideally take high GI carbs both during the race for continuous fuel, and immediately afterwards, followed by low to medium GI foods two to three hours after the race. The For Goodness Shakes Recovery drink was as close to perfect as possible for. Not only a great ratio of carbs to protein, but also a good profile of vitamins and minerals for hydration and recovery. Obviously not lactose free, but using milk as a base gives a great source of protein and calcium (great for cyclists where bone mineral density is important), but also very good for hydration post exercise. The powder’s main ingredients are roasted peanuts and brown rice – and you couldn’t ask for a more full-bodied peanutty flavour. It contains no added sugar. We found that it’s ‘dry’ rather than sweet, to use wine terminology, which is exactly how I like my peanut butter. The texture is slightly chalky, with the occasional hard fragment of nut – caution advised – but it mixes easily leaving no powdery lumps. The smaller sachets don’t really offer either enough protein or carbs for recovery from a hard session. The ratio is good, but the total content is low. To get enough protein, you do need the full two-sachet dose – but that will constitute a meal replacement for most people, with around 340kCal of energy content.

However, quite a few studies suggest soy is not as effective as whey based recovery drinks, so I haven’t used this for a while. Recovery drinks are great, and consuming things at the right time can help even more. That is why a lot of riders will follow a fairly strict schedule as far as what to do after writing a ton of miles at once. Step One: Hydration This shortfall is met by using your glycogen stores, which must be replenished post exercise so you are able to perform well in your next session

Another difference is that some vegan proteins are more environmentally friendly per gram of protein than animal ones. For example, cows require more land and produce more greenhouse gases than soya beans. However, soya beans flown from abroad can have a higher carbon footprint than beef or milk from your home country.

Eventually, riders will want to have a full meal to complete their recovery process. This can happen two or three hours after a ride, but it is important to get some of those nutrients from foods that can’t be found in any recovery drink. If you think you’re experiencing deja-vu, don’t worry. Yes, this product does appear earlier in this guide. That’s because it is SiS’s flagship recovery powder and is also vegan.

\n\t\t\tSIS REGO Rapid Recovery Drink

My personal favourite for value and taste was the Wiggle recovery drink. It surprised me as I thought the lower cost would mean it might not mix as well or might taste artificial. The SiS rego offers the best option for those racing who need to ensure sport supplements are batch tested and not contaminated – OTE also offers this but at a higher price and I wasn’t as keen on the taste, personally. The drink mixed very well and left us feeling full, ready for a proper meal later on. However, there was a strange artificially sweet taste – although there are apparently no artificial sweeteners present. Torq recommends a different serving size dependent on the duration and intensity of exercise, from one 50g sachet for a moderate workout up to two for a hard session (or none for a light workout). The drink mixes very well with no lumps and has a nice flavour without any artificial taste. A nice addition is a full profile of electrolytes, which makes this a great drink for rehydration – an aspect sometimes forgotten by other recovery drinks and a big bonus. Carbohydrate is your body's main fuel for moderate to high intensity exercise. During training and competition, our bodies can absorb around 60g of carbohydrate per hour, meaning that demand will outstrip the supply of energy. This shortfall is met by using your glycogen stores, which must be replenished post exercise so you are able to perform well in your next session.
