Fun & Fitness over 50

Here's an idea I had for a recovery drink when there's nothing else available:
a cup of sugary hot chocolate made with skim milk instead of water.

I make it full strength per the instructions on the can. It's got the high GI carbs from the sugar and the protein from the skim milk minus the fat.

This has less carbs and protein than the home brew drink I described in a previous post but I don't work out that hard yet anyhow so it's probably fine for me.

Here's how it breaks down:
38g carbs and 10g protein.

Joe Friel's recovery drink recipe consists of 5 tblsp of sugar and 16oz of skim milk.

That translates to: 60g carb from the sugar and 22g of carbs and 16g of protein from the milk for a total of 82g carb and 16g protein!
