V8 juice was my favorite recovery drink for a while (someone here on TE suggested it) and then my stomach got grumpy about it. (or the slice of cheddar I was having with it after my rides) Now I'm back on the V8, no problems so far. (and no cheddar... lactose doesn't like me, but I didn't think cheese was gonna cause me trouble)
Reading the back of a can right now: 14g carbs to 3g protein. Mighty darn close to 4:1
Cheap; tasty; no fat; sodium, calcium, and potassium to replace a smidge of electrolytes you sweated out; and no milk products.
