Tailwind Nutrition Recovery Mix, Chocolate, 12 Single-Serving Sachets

I’ve recently taken up cycling and have been riding a 60 mile route once a week, along with a smattering of shorter rides. At first, those 60 mile rides left my body battered afterwards and I really wasn’t able to ride again for at least another day or two, as my muscles were just too sore. I decided enough was enough and did some research into recovery mixes and Tailwind caught my eye and have been using since. Now perhaps it’s a combination of increasing my endurance as well as the Tailwind Recovery mix, but I do know that after my long rides now, I’m able to ride again the next day with no lingering effects. I’m not walking like a zombie the night after my ride and am basically functional again. I love the ease of the mix. I just place two scoops in a mixing bottle, add water from a flask I bring, shake it up and done. It’s part of my post-ride ritual now and I look forward to getting to my car and just relaxing and drinking my Tailwind. The chocolate flavor is perfect, not too sweet, and definitely not chalky. I can whole heartedly recommend this product and suggest you try it out to aid in your recovery process.

I have been looking for tasty post-run protein forever, and I finally found the right one for me. Tailwind Nutrition Rebuild Recovery Drink Mix is it. At my age (52), running daily, participating in long-distance races on monthly basis, and playing soccer in between them can be very exhausting and damaging to the body. Ever since I started drinking Tailwind Nutrition, however, I feel stronger and I recover quicker. The results say it all -- I am faster than I was 15 years ago and I've qualified for Boston two years in a row. Also, I love the flavor -- it tastes natural and has no nasty artificial aftertaste, and it is not overly sweet. I also love the fact that it's easy on my stomach which tends to become sensitive after long grueling runs. Yes, it is a bit expensive compared to some protein mix that comes in buckets at Costco, but it is worth every penny, and I am not going back.

I have been taking this product for most of 2023 now after hard workouts or when I feel fatigued, and it seems to always make a difference for me. Mixed with some ice, it is very refreshing after hot runs. And it has a creamy feel and, in my opinion, good taste. I was actually surprised of the good taste when I first used it. My teenage daughter who tends to be picky liked it as well. The only thing I can think of that 'might' be something that could be improved is something to aid in absorbing the little iron that is within it and possible add more iron. I coach HS athletes and there seems to a high amount of HS girls, in particular, that have iron deficiencies. And I feel I have similar issues as an athlete approaching retirement age. In hearing from HS girls and parents, I learned that Calcium may work against Iron absorption and vitamin C may help. I am no doctor or scientist. And I don't know if something may already exist in the product to aid in absorbing the iron within the product. If there is not, it would nice if an ingredient/vitamin/etc that aided in absorption of iron was added to the product, if would even be possible.

Absolutely love Tailwind products!! Their recovery product is my go to after a long run. I feel amazing the next day after my long run when I use this recovery product. Highly recommend!! I have only used the chocolate flavor. I really like the taste and does not upset my stomach. I mix it with cold water in a shaker bottle with no issues.

This is my go to recovery product. I have been loving the chocolate flavor and mix it with milk for an even better taste.

I've always heard great things about Tailwind products, but hadn't tried them until recently. My favorite brand of vegan chocolate recovery mix was discontinued, and this came highly recommended as a replacement. I like the ingredients and it mixed well in my shaker bottle. Taste is good, but not as good as my previous product. I do like that each serving is individually packaged. I just tossed a couple in my carry-on bag for my last marathon.

I’m gluten free and this takes amazing and is the best recovery shake. Tastes amazing.

I broke the rule... I tried something new on race day. Let me tell you though, I wouldn’t have survived without it! My first 50 miler was going down and I needed something with a lot of calories that I could get in liquid form in case my stomach wouldn’t take regular food. This product alone saved me from running out of calories. It tastes like a Chocolate frosty from Wendy’s! The protein helped stop my muscles from being absolutely wrecked. I felt better after this 50 miler taking Tailwinf recovery than I have felt after 2 prior marathons. The biggest drawback is the price. It won’t completely stop me from buying the product, but it makes me limit my usage, so I won’t buy it very often. I now only use it during ultramarathons and long training runs.

This is the 1st non-dairy recovery shake I've come across, a really important factor for me as any dairy (including whey) stuffs up my sinuses - I've tried a fair few. I also love how quick and easily it mixes with water and how great it tastes. I've tried both chocolate and vanilla, both yummy. I'll be sticking to this from now for sure and recommending it to my athlete friends.

Mixes well, great flavour. I love this product. I use four or five ice cubes with water. Wouldn’t change to anything else.

could be more affordable but the product works. use after a heavy workout.
