Skratch Recovery Drink Mix
Go-to recovery shake after hard workouts and races. Carb + protein in the right ratio, mixes fast, and actually tastes good when you're cooked.
Why I Like It
After hard intervals, long endurance days, or back-to-back race stages, I want easy carbs plus a moderate hit of protein without wrecking my stomach. Skratch Recovery hits that sweet spot with a carb-forward formula that kickstarts glycogen replenishment and enough protein to start muscle repair. It dissolves quickly in cold water, goes down easy when I’m not hungry yet, and buys me time to shower, clean the bike, and then get a real meal.
Quick Specs
- Carb + protein recovery mix
- Designed for rapid glycogen replenishment post-workout
- Mixes fast in a bottle or shaker (even with cold water)
- Comes in dairy-based and plant-based options
- Good flavors for tired tastebuds (chocolate is my favorite)
In My Setup
- I aim to drink two servings within ~30 minutes of finishing anything hard.
- If I’m stacking work (double days or stage racing), I’ll follow this with a real meal (rice/potatoes + lean protein) as soon as appetite returns.
