Recommended intake: 1 serving, within 30 minutes post workout
Fuelling for exercise is well understood, but for any workout that lasts longer than 90 minutes it is essential that you fuel for your recovery too. The best way to do this is with 100% natural & delicious real food, with the optimal balance of Carbohydrates and Protein.
How to optimise your recovery
You should aim to:
- rehydrate
- replenish with carbohydrates to top-up glycogen stores
- Start to rebuild muscle within the first 30 minutes after exercise with a complete protein source.
Your muscles store energy in the form of glycogen that is released when you exercise. When you work hard your muscles' stores of glycogen are depleted and this is known as the glycogen debt. To optimise recovery it is essential to top up these stores--the quicker the better. Glycogen stores are built up by eating glucose and that means that carbohydrates are your best friends at this time.
With a 3:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio, each 62.5g serving of Vita has plenty of the all-natural essential stuff to kick start your recovery.
Recommended usage:
- Mix a single 62.5g sachet with 300ml of cold water or your favourite milk (plant or dairy!) shake until smooth
- Aim to drink within 30 minutes of finishing exercise
- Once mixed, keep refrigerated and consume within 24 hours. Simple.
- We recommend using a shaker bottle with a mixer ball for optimal mixing
- Shaking them with 300mls cold water makes a rewardingly thick and smooth recovery shake
- Just add more water if you want to loosen the mix
By simply mixing Veloforte's recovery super-shakes with your favourite milk, you can get up to 23g protein per serving.
