Recovery Drink - Carbohydrate and Whey Protein Powder (20g) for Muscle Recovery with Electrolytes Powder - Fast-Absorbing Post Workout Shake (Banana & Vanilla Milkshake, 1.6kg - 32 Servings)

Update 29/01/2025. Since High5 changed the formula of the normal version, I've steered clear. But I tried the plant based version and its almost like thr original. I always use High5 nutrition, you literally can't go wrong and its wallet friendly. This recovery drink mixes well and tastes ok. It's not as good as the chocolate flavour, but still very nice with skimmed milk. I like the fact there are no sweeteners, you try and find another protein shake that doesn't use them!

Excessively sweet to drink straight, but if you mix it with plenty of water and a little of another Whey, which is less sweet with a different flavor, it's also good when mixed with fruits like strawberries, it's wonderful.

I, like a lot of others it would seem, have used high 5 recovery drink for a few years. I had it set up as an Amazon subscription. I always used Berry flavour in the summer and Chocolate in the winter and I genuinely used to look forward to my drink (made with skimmed milk) after my run. The most recent tub however is disgusting. Like some other reviewers, I initially thought it must be off. The colour of the dry powder was different (a sort of dirty beige, rather than the former bright pink), the consistency was much thicker and 'foamier' than before and the flavour has gone from being light, fruity and natural tasting, to thick, not so fruity and with a horrible powdery chemically aftertaste, that lingers at the back of my mouth. I emailed High 5 with the lot number, assuming I must have got a bad tub. To my astonishment, they pointed out this is actually a new and improved formulation! It absolutely is new, but it most certainly is NOT an improvement! Unfortunately, whether by (very) misguided design, or for purely cost-cutting reasons, High 5 have completely ruined this once great product. They have lost a customer and Amazon has lost a subscription purchaser. If you've used and liked this before, I'd definitely recommend proceeding with caution with your next purchase. I'd also be extremely interested to hear from a y long-standing users of this drink, who a actually prefer the new version.

I really like the High 5 Recovery drinks. I've had all three: Berry, Banana & Vanilla and Chocolate and tried them all with water and milk. Chocolate is by far the best, especially with milk and I usually spend the last few km of my run looking forward to having it at the end. It's surprisingly nice with water too. The Berry one feels more natural and thirst quenching with water and when you have it with milk, it tastes for me more like an ice cream. Banana & Vanilla is probably my least favourite. It's an odd taste with water but still nice enough. You'd think with the banana, it would really work with milk but it's just not on the level of chocolate. I wouldn't go as far as to say they've made a difference to my recovery but they do help me get through the last couple of km as I always look forward to having one when I've finished. A tip is to make one up and then put it in the fridge ready for when you've finished your run.

Fantastic product.

Great product and price

I never had the (apparently better) previous version... Unpalatable with water; much better in milk (berry flavour). You're probably better getting a cheaper 'non-cycling brand' - with a better price. Can't say I saw any benefit from taking this.

Really great taste and consistency. I do use milk rather than water. Reasonable value too compared to the cost of protein bars.

Das Produkt ist, wie bei High 5 gewohnt, wirklich super. Leider enthält die Packung nur 9 anstatt der beworbenen 10 Packungen und ist 10 % überteuert.

Bestes Recover Produkt auf dem Markt. Sehr wirksam und vor allem verträglich. Mein Magen dreht gerne mal durch 😄 Ich empfehle ebenfalls Gele von High5 👍

Auch dieses Produkt von High 5 zur Regeneration ist sehr zu empfehlen. Man kann das Pulver entweder mit Wasser oder mit Milch mischen (meine Empfehlung). Schmeckt lecker und der Regenenerationseffekt speziell nach langen Läufen oder harten Laufwettbewerben ist schnell spürbar.
