why chocolate milk? Why not regular milk?

Could you specify the exact amounts that you are using of apple juice and protein powder to get the 4:1 ratio? Thanks

[rudabaker84]

do you eat the p90x protein bars? how important are they and are there any cheaper substitutes?

[ThePantherboii]

You don't need ceatine just mix up glutamine in your post workout

Question re. the recovery drink and an after workout drink. I am on week 6 of P90X. I weigh 180, 5’5, 37 yrs old. Can you help me come up with a correct mixture. I have Cyto Carb2, Gatorade Lemon Lime mix(powder) and Pure WPI by Bioplex….plz

Good getting people thinking about using their own protein powder as a base and building on it to achieve what the P90 drink achieves.

For me it's Optimum recover (only 2:1). I just add some bannana to bump it up to 4:1 ratio and micronized creatine powder

vanilla/strawberry and peach juice is pretty tasty

Try Replenish by BodyFuel.

Yes Apple Juice has sugar but it's not the right type of sugar. It is fructose. P90X recovery drink uses Dextrose, which is a simple carb that digests with protein quickly. Raises your insulin level and gets the protein to the muscle rapidly.

NOW, there are cheaper alternatives to the P90X recovery drink but IMO Apple Juice is not one of them.

Is grape juice good too??

[newbodymindlife]

@JohnyRocStyle Yes-you can substitute apple juice for grape juice. I just think Apple juice goes really well with strawberry protein powder.
