Hammer NutritionRecoverite (32 Servings)(Return to Product Page)

Works well for recovery after long or hard rides.

Worth every penny. Completely worth the semi-disgusting taste. This stuff is a game changer. I've been using this after my big-effort rides for years. There is no way to describe what a massive difference it makes in the speed and quality of recovery - noticeable difference even within an hour afterward. If you're looking to really improve your strength you have to have a way to recover quickly and be able to put in a big effort again without waiting a week. I've recovered from back-to-back centuries and 200+ mi rides without much noticeable difference in pain or recovery times from my regular hard training rides.

I used to purchase direct from Hammer, but delivery here much faster and they have their credit on next purchase. Love BikeTiresDirect.

I use this product within 20-30 minutes after a hard or long bike session. Not grainy or bad after taste like some products

This recovery product is very easy to use-rather than having to drink a large amount of very sweet product, Recoverite is very mild and easy to take. I would compare it to drinking water-diluted milk-very mild in taste and not at all objectionable. It mixes very easily in water.

Not being a scientist, I cannot judge the product's effectiveness, but it seems to work. I take one serving after a 25 or 50 mile bike ride.

Again, I enjoy the mildness of the product, it's ease to mix, and the mild taste.

I use for recovery after hard rides, also mix with heed (unflavored) for my drink during ride. i like the vanilla best, expensive, but works for me as does all Hammer products.

The taste is not great by itself, but combined with your regularly scheduled post workout shake, it's barely noticeable and adds extra carbs and EAAs that may be missing. It's fine, but I will be looking for a single supplement that has a more complete profile.

No, it won't. I have to mix this with boiling water to get it even close to dissolving, and then it still sticks to my teeth and the glass. Taste is fine, although I wouldn't say it's good.

I've been using this for a couple weeks and haven't noticed a difference in recovery compared the the Fluid mix I was using before. Looking forward to using this up so I can go back to my previous recovery mix.

I think this stuff helps me recover, which is a bonus, but other powders do as well. I have the vanilla, and I find the taste kind of gross. I have to mix it in a blender with a frozen banana and some other frozen fruit (peaches are good). There are better tasting mixes out there, and actual food works just as well.

Add this to your 24oz mixing cup (or blender)

one ripe banana

one heaping tsp of Hershey's cocoa powder

one heaping tsp of Taster's Choice instant coffee

one scoop of Recoverite (Chocolate)

one Tblsp honey

fill with 'SIMPLY' almond milk (vanilla) {don't use almond milk with gums/thickeners like SILK etc.}

Warning! this is addictive....you can thank me later.

The Hammer Nutrition Recoverite product has a mild and favorable taste. I purchased this product with the idea that I might get a noticeable result which I can say I did feel after a long ride. I'm not really sure that this product is much better than some of the other recovery drinks. But it taste good and didn't bother my stomach.

Besides the price it's a good recovery product. I've noticed some minor differences when not taking it after my training. I've been buying the strawberry flavor and mix it with milk and tastes like strawberry milkshake. Would like to try the other ones but for now, I'll stick with what works.

...but the taste is too good. I mix it with chocolate almond milk (Blue Diamond) and think it tastes as good as any chocolate malt. Always have this on hand.

Good service

Quick shipping

Easy to drink, not hard on my stomach like other products, and can tell the difference in my recovery if I'm not taking it. I bought strawberry because I like mixing it with milk and banana (awesome combination). Buying 2 more to replenish my supply...running low.

Only problem is the price.

Before Recovery drinks, I was left in pain and suffering after a hard ride. Anything that really pressed me left me with no energy, or with actual pain after the ride. Once I started using recovery drinks, I can finish a century and go coach a soccer game, or do what ever else was planned for the day. HUGE CHANGE. Before I would be whimpering on the the couch, now I can get on with my day.

I have used Hammer Heed and Gel's for ever but have used Chocolate Milk for recovery. It is easy to find but you always have to worry about the date. I decided it was time to go to a real recovery drink that as long as I had it with me it would be good and would work great. Hammer is always high quality!

I take this after every longer ride. Tastes great and is easily digested with no stomach upset. I've used it for many years, tried other similar products but always come back to Recoverite. Highly recommended.

Not a fan of the vegan Recoverite, but I love the normal (vanilla) Recoverite. I use this after any strenuous or long distance ride to help protect the muscles and build on my training regimen. Great with Graham Crackers too.

Nice recovery drink mix. I was skeptical about the strawberry flavor but it's not too sweet or artificial tasting. Coming from Ultragen which I had to water down a lot to lessen its sickly sweetness, I find that the recommended 6-8oz of water per serving for Recoverite is spot on. My only qualm with it is that it doesn't dissolve completely and leaves a bit of grit at the end (I find this with Heed too).

This has made a huge difference in my training and elevating my game in road cycling this year... by making recovery more about protecting and facilitating new muscle development. I use this after most 30 mile rides, in addition to a good protein rich meal.
