Luckily, Endurox offers two completely different products... one used DURING workouts and the other is intended for recovery. Although I have only used the R4, I have found it very helpful!!

Here's my formula for ride recovery:
1 1/2 scoops of Vanilla Endurox
1 C milk (2% or more)
1/2 C (or more) non fat plain ( no sugar) yogurt.
Pour milk in Blender
Throw in yogurt
Put the Endurox in last
Blend for about 30 secs. to 1 min.
Pour and enjoy. Just like a milkshake! I never measure the milk and yogurt so I'm guessing here.
Works like a charm. The yogurt gives you some more protein PLUS it is very easy to digest. I often have digestion problems when I go on long rides.
In fact, I'm switching to Cytomax Cranberry/Grapefruit for my onride beverage as I've been have problems with Accelerade (even diluted)

I was reading this post and since it is July in Texas, the thought of choclate milk as a recovery doesn't seem really appealing for some reason. I think it might have its attractions when the weather cools down, though.
In the meantime, my favorite recovery mix is multigrain saltines with peanut butter, washed down with cold orange juice. Hits the spot.
Jut bought some powdered orangeade HEED to take on my runs to replace the gatorade I've been using. I mixed it up and took a sip. Yech. I stuck it in the freezer to get it ready for my morning run tomorrow. Hope it takes better cold...
