Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery Very Vanilla -- 3.73 lbs

2:1:1 Recovery™. Rapid Replenishment & Recovery Formula. • 35 g PROTEIN. • 70 g Fast Carbs. • 16 g BCAAs. • 23 g Essential Amino Acids.   THE BIGGER PICTURE OF RECOVERY. 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. The Rapid Recovery Ratios. 2:1:1 Carbohydrate Ratio. • 2 x Glucose Polymers + Waxy Maize Starch. • 1 x Sucrose. • 1 x Fructose. 2:1:1 Protein Ratio. • 2 x Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate. • 1 x Micellar Casein. • 1 x Egg Albumen. 2:1:1 BCAA Ratio. • 2 x Leucine. • 1 x Isoleucine. • 1 x Valine.

Bad flavor, July 18, 2008
By Peanutty from Fort Worth, TX

"The flavor is nasty. I either have to chug it or blend it with lots of fruit. I recommend banana because the powder has a somewhat banana flavor. I would prefer chocolate powder."

Very Effective, July 6, 2008
By Schrock

"I have been using this product for a month and have just now reached the bottom of my first 3.7lb jug. Two scoops of the 2:1:1 Recovery taken immediately after intense workouts greatly reduced my muscle soreness and post-workout fatigue. This is the best tasting product I have bought so far and since it is only meant to be taken after workouts it does not run out too quicky. Another phenomenal product by Optimum Nutrition."
