Chocolate milk. The entire NBA are using it now. The sugar from the chocolate increases the speed/effectiveness of the nutrient absorption.

Decent recovery drink that's cheap and easy to find.

Yep. Also all natural which is important to me. I've basically stopped drinking anything artificial and Gatorade was the toughest one to drop
Urine is also all natural.
Milk is homogenized and pasteurized. Depending on what type of milk you select, it may have some or all fat removed. Likely also has fortifiers and preservatives.

"Natural" is overrated, cobra venom is natural too.

ive used most electrolytes drinks, including LMNT +liquid iv, nothing comes close to Voli hydration, has far better ingrediants such as himalayan pink salt and irsh sea moss + aquamin.
I really do recommend the Pali pina colada flavour - honestly it tastes identicall to one, no powdery taste, not biter, not too sweet, mixes extreamly well + i also add 1 of these tablet

however do eat a good meal befroe + after your match - preferably a mixture of good clean protein (not a protein supplement) with veg, you cant beat a good diet everyday, electrolyte drinks are really to replace your salt levels which have been lost while playing,,,, your diet is everthing else = really is 95% of your energy and recovery.

I use a similar line with my wife who assigns too much value to products advertising themselves as “all-natural“ as if that means it is automatically good for you. I tell her that all poisons used to kill people before the Industrial Revolution were all natural also.

If I don’t have the opportunity to head home and eat a good meal, I will always pack a protein drink like Muscle Milk or the Costco pure protein boxes, and some sort of sweet carb like a donut or apple fritter. Getting that protein into my body right away cuts down on the day-after soreness and lets me train hard on consecutive days.

Anyone have any relatively low processed protein recovery shake options? Ideally with some added minerals like magnesium.

SiS REGO does the trick. It has carbs, protein and electrolytes. It's mixed into 500ml of water so you get your liquid in too...
Or you know...beer.

Low fat or 2% choc milk?

"Whole" so like 3-3.5.%

I have often seen low-fat (1%) choc milk recommended as a recovery drink. As I’ve gotten older (60s/70s) I have gone away from whole and back to low-fat dairy options.
As we age, it is more difficult to utilize protein effectively / efficiently. In addition, I donate plasma once or twice a week which significantly lowers my blood protein level. So I have to eat a lot more protein (with digestive enzymes) than I did in my 50s (and earlier) to keep up my blood protein level.
This has resulted in more calories ingested and unwanted weight gain. So I need to opt for leaner (lower cal) protein sources

I understand. I always opt for the higher fat option. Hope that doesn't change but I get it.

I was brought up on Borden’s whole milk which was roughly equivalent to today’s extra rich (4.2%) milk.
At some point in the 1980s, I switched over to reduced fat (2%) quite often. But still drank whole (3.5%) some of the time. In the mid 90s, 1% (lowfat) milk came out and I switched over to that. Drank that for much of my 40s. But at some point in my 50s, I went back to whole milk
However, from my mid-60s owward, I’ve gone back to 1% milk again — to help keep the caloric intake down.

4.2%? That sounds amazing. I'm gonna go look around
I don't get cereal very often anymore but when I do, I'll also get heavy cream to throw on top and mix with the whole milk. Really good on plainer, non-fruit cereals. So like rice krispies, Frosted Flakes.
