About a year ago the taste of the orange vanilla changed. It used to taste like a cream soda now it has a more medicine like taste. I had some of the older stuff and compared them side by side so I know its not my tastes changing I called Hammer and they said the formulation had not changed. I am really disappointed because I looked forward the drink now I skip it half the time. One solution that helps is to mix the drink with an orange.
I do think that it prevents muscle soreness.

I have used Hammer products on and off for quite some time and decided to try Recoverite. I had been using Skratch's recovery drink but they were out temporarily and it's a bit more expensive as well so I gave Recoverite a changes. It tasted terrible and my wife accuses me of being able to drink all kinds of nasty cycling stuff. I was a waste of money as far as I am concerned. Would be cautious in buying it. I suspect there are some who really like it but for me, it was waste of $xx.

After a tough bike ride, we mix with milk per the directions and drink it within 30 of the workout when possible. This product helps reduce fatigue that sometimes overcomes you and puts you on the couch. We use chocolate and love the flavor, not chalky taste just good chocolate milk. No dislikes.

Amazing protein after workout.
Review by KauaiBiker
Hammer Recoverite is a very uncomplicated resource for muscle recovery in response to big training and racing efforts. I've employed Recoverite for more than 15-years and typically make a recovery drink cocktail comprised of Hammer Recoverite, chocolate milk and any variety of Odwalla high-protein drink for intake after heavy exertion. This re-fueling properly sets the stage for my muscle recovery, rebuild and strengthening for the next workout or event to come. in 2017, from Ironman 70.3, to Leadville 100 Mtn. Bike and IM World Championship - Recoverite was essential in each legendary event.

I use it after hard rides to help my legs start the recovery process. The taste and texture is good, not too sweet either. This product really helps my legs start to feel much better within 15-25 mins after I drink it. I have found that not drinking this makes me feel the dreaded dead legs the next day after a hard ride. It really improves the way my legs feel, the next day, when I do take it after hard workouts.

Some protein recovery drinks taste terrible. Not Recoverite. Imaging your favorite chocolate malt, but packed with protein. You'll find it here!

I've started using Recoverite after all cycling efforts and intense indoor workouts on the trainer and indoor rower. It helps my muscles rebuild after a hard effort.

I use 3 scoops for my bottles and even throw in some ice cubes especially for the 90 degree days hitting this week. Recoverite revitalizes my electros and keeps me more than adequately fueled for my century plus endurance rides.

I really love the vanilla. The chocolate is ok . Western bike works are awesome. I received my order in a couple days.

I use Recoverite after every hike and bike ride. Instead of collapsing on the couch after every experience, I can keep going the rest of the day. I'm 71 years young and have been using Recoverite for about 10 years.

Hammer Nutrition sells a complete line of supplements and fuels for endurance activities. I've been using their products for over 20 years. At this time in my life i am only using the Recoverite product since my activities are no longer endurance level. The Recoverite helps tremendously with preventing sore quads after a good hard 30 to 50 mile road escape.

I've been using Recoverite for years. Always use it after a hard or long ride. Best to use it immediately after your ride

Recoverite is my go to for post ride recovery. It never fails to get me ready to ride again. WesternBikeWorks got it to me very quickly. I will use them again without a doubt.
Review by Taco
The taste, at least of the orangevanilla, is excellent. Reminds me of a creamsicle. The only improvement I can think of is the packaging. Perhaps a smaller, zip-lock bag would be more environmentally friendly.
Review by Dpgoodman
I take this after every high intensity ride, and I believe it helps my recovery by quite a bit.
Review by Sean
I use Hammer Recoverite after every long ride, intense training session, or race. Maybe the best thing about this product is how easy it makes my first step of recovery. This gives me exactly what I need in my first 30 minutes of recovery. I take the canister with me to races. Super easy to mix it up and chug it down in the parking lot after the race.

I have been using this for several years. Excellent recovery product after workouts. Perfect combination of carbs and protein.

I've been using Hammer Recoverite post-ride for years. Works great. Western Bike Works is fast and efficient in getting this to me.

After a hard ride or hike, taking a couple of scoops revives me and gets me through the rest of the day. Even the next day I feel a faster recovery.
