You just put in the work. The shake afterward is where recovery starts — but only if it's built right. Here's what actually matters in a post-workout shake, and what's just hype.
What to look for
20–30g of protein
This is the big one. Protein gives your muscles what they need to repair and rebuild. Our shakes deliver 24–30g — right in the recovery sweet spot.
Timing within a couple hours
You don't need to slam it in 30 seconds, but getting protein in within a couple hours of training supports recovery. A grab-on-your-way-out shake makes that easy.
Smart add-ins
Collagen, a B6/B12 energy boost, or aloe can round out your shake. Useful extras — not magic, but a nice edge.
Something you'll actually drink
The best shake is the one you finish. Ours taste like Brownie Batter and Blue Banana — recovery that feels like a treat.
What doesn't matter as much
- The 'anabolic window' panic. You don't have to drink it the second you rack the weights. Within a couple hours is fine for most people.
- Mega-doses of protein. 24–30g per shake covers it. You don't need 60g in one cup.
- Fancy mystery blends. Solid protein, a flavor you like, and consistency beat a long, confusing ingredient list.
The simple formula
24–30g of protein, within a couple hours of training, in a flavor you'll actually finish. Add a booster if you want. That's a great post-workout shake — no hype required.
