buy some good quality protein meal replacement powder, mix the suggested amount with half milk and hal high protein greek yogurt, throw in a cup a fresh fruit, or a scoop of cocoa powder and some instant espresso coffee, mix in a blender and drink. Coffe and chocolate and milk are very restorative, fruit and greek yogurt are da bomb. Plus it is cold, refreshing and gives you a good start on liquid replacement as well.

hmmmmm, this sounds interesting. I've rarely done anything more complicated than chocolate milk and chips, or a banana or something. I need to start forcing myself to get out in hotter temps since this heatwave isn't going to end soon.

Marni and Oakleaf,

I am a huge espresso and chocolate milk fan! My sister said that chocolate milk is the best recovery drink (she hates milk, but does it anyway). And greek yogurt (chobani 2%) is ADDICTIVE. I eat at least one of them a day if not two - one as a "treat". Good to know there is some evidence there haha!

Oh how I love dairy. And since I am on a high protein diet and allergic to most legumes, I have to eat a great deal of it. I get plenty of calcium a day!

What I need to work on is a bit of carbs.
