Flavor:Colossal Chocolate  |  Size:3.73 Pound Product Description What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine. .com Optimum Nutrition's 2:1:1 Recovery formula is based on science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type.

The best post-workout drink I've used
So far I love this stuff. Yes, it is a little on the sweet side. The chocolate flavor is tastes good. But I don't really care much about that stuff. I care about results. AND IT WORKS.I used to be a whey-protein-only guy, but found that I wasn't recovering from workouts as quickly anymore. I'm not into creatine or other isolated supplements - whole macronutrients are my preference.The 2:1:1 ratio is pretty well validated to support recovery. And I've always liked 30g of protein after a hard workout. With no added calories from fat or additives, it has only the calories I want to ingest. This stuff is great.

Post Insanity, and I'm shocked!!
I was always skeptical about supplements... However, I purchased this product for my post Insanity workouts. I am the type of person who works out, and wakes up the next morning stiff, unable to move, and so sore that I literally won't be able to bend at the knees... That said, I tried this product. Especially after Insanity workouts, the soreness sets in... within minutes...Well, that being said, I have been using this so far for three days, and I am very happy with the results. I woke up this morning actually twisting and turning, TRYING to find a sore spot on my body. And I pushed hard working out last night. Nothing, no soreness, no aches, no pains. I am in disbelief. For a supplement skeptic, this was the product to change my view of the culture. I hope that Opt Nutr keeps this product on their line, because I will definitely help keep them in business.Thanks for reading my review, hope this helps any potential buyers!

Amazing Taste
This is by far my favorite protein. I have been using it for over a year now. The taste is great, and it doesn't have that artificial sugary taste that other proteins have. Let me state that I am always trying to gain weight, which is why I went for the protein with more carbs. If you are dieting, and watching your sugar intake then this might not be the best protein for you. It's all about personal goals and needs, but for me this is perfect!

Make your muscles say "AHHHHHHH"
I used this after my second day of lifting and there has been a noticeable difference in muscle soreness. I'm sure that most of the benefits are not measurable by the typical person but the soreness alone will justify me using it. I will say that it recommends that I take two scoops making this only 15 servings but I feel like two scoops is too much so I have only been using 1 scoop. The taste is nice but I find if you mix it to strong I don't care for it. I am definitely going to continue use while I lift. Now I need to figure out what will go with it best. I tried emailing ON but they took 3 days to respond that I should ask their sponsored athletes on their forums in which I have tried two computers and I still cannot post on the forum.

Great for after Leg Day!
I started working out a few months ago and immediately i decided to stack up and buy this.As a beginner, leg day is normally cruel for me, however I found that when i drank this post-workoutI'm was not as sore the days after so I think it does work.In all honesty I have to admit that I have not gone by one leg workout without this since, maybe a good4 months, I've just ran out and will try a few weeks without it just to see how big the difference is, but I'mcertain that I will be buying it again!Also, I think the taste of the vanilla is pretty nice, I mix it with little less than 8oz and enjoy it very much!

Fantastic taste in mango!
Protein powders and the like are usually hit or miss in the taste department. But ON really nailed the mango flavor on this one. When I bring the glass to my mouth, it really smells like a glass of mango juice.I drink it in coconut water and I think it really enhances the flavor plus gets you all the good benefits of the coconut.The only downside is that it does not dissolve completely. But then most powders don't (though this does less than others I have used). I don't really have a big issue; I just add a bit of water near the end, swirl and gulp it down. But that is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Tastes great!
Tastes amazing even with cold water. Mixes up really well in a blender bottle. Provides the benefits im looking for in recovery. A bit pricey but for one dose a day it isn't too bad.

The chocolate flavor is so good that you feel like drinking a cold beverage
I have used this product right since the time I took working out seriously and there have definitely been positive changes. I have worked out without any supplements in the past and I can feel the difference with this. The chocolate flavor is so good that you feel like drinking a cold beverage. Definitely recommend it to anyone who is just starting out, loves chocolate and does not want to bulk up too much.

Perfect!!
Tasted amazing, mixed really easily, didn't even need a blender in the shaker.I really noticed the difference with my recovery using this product! DOMS almost stopped over night and it didn't leave me feeling bloated like a lot of other protein powders do.Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to increase their recovery
