Perfect recovery fuel. Use it for me and my picky kids who get hangry. This is the kids� favorite flavor.

It's a little pricy and basically just some fancy chocolate milk with electrolytes and some other good stuff, but it's delicious and really hits the spot after a long and/or hard session. It puts off the ravenous "eat every snack in the kitchen" hunger off long enough to take a shower and make some real food. I've tried the chocolate and the horchata and they're both tasty.

Great taste, mixes well in my after ride smoothie. Scratch is my go to for hydration and recovery products.
Review by Mike in Richland
I have used a bunch of recovery products over the years, and I think in general, the products work. With that said, I think Scratch is my favorite, esp. the chocolate. I mix according to direction and drink as soon as I can after a big training ride or a big race/ride. I generally mix with almond milk. It tastes good and for me and is easy to drink. BTD usually has a pretty good deal on stuff, and I will buy extra if the price is especially tasty.

Well there are cheaper options out there I really like the Skratch Labs recovery mix. It mixes easily and tastes great.
I have tried all three flavors and also tried mixing the chocolate with the coffee to create a Mocha. The chocolate and coffee flavors are okay. I don't really like the "mocha" mix. The horchata though.... Man is it good. I am always thinking about it the last few miles of a ride. The chocolate and the coffee serve their purpose but I don't anxiously await drinking them like I do the horchata.

this stuff is expensive so i dont use it after every ride but i love the flavor and texture, much easier to enjoy than a protein shake.

Tastes good, easy hit for immediately after ride before a regular meal.

I don't really know what the difference is between eating regular food and having a "recovery drink", but this horchata mix is tasty, and if you put it in the blender with a couple of frozen bananas and some water, it takes the edge off after a long ride. If you like horchata, you'll like this. They nailed the taste. No chalkiness.

I take Skratch Labs Sport Recovery Drink right after each of my HIT interval session, and it seems to do a decent job of helping me recover for the next day. However, since I'm lactose intolerance, sometimes I feel slightly bloated after taking it.

Nothing special about this product. Tastes good but probably get much of the same nutrition from a whey protein shake.

This one is a winner by Scratch Labs! They know how to rock the flavors! Amazing! I highly recommend this recovery drink post ride with almond Milk!

I start to try to add recovery drink routine. The coffee flavor taste good, not too sweet and no protein powder texture in other brand I tried.

Of all the recovery drinks I've tried, I love the taste of this Hortchata the most. I would drink it anytime of the day!
Review by Amateur
I like the coffee taste... and i did a few rides this year in the 80miles to 105 mile range w 7000ft or more of climbing... and really felt fine immediately after and the next day.. i think in previous years i would have taken a nap afterwords and walked funny for a few days.

Tired of being tired after a hard ride? I was and SL recovery drink fixed that. Tried both chocolate & coffee flavors separately but prefer mocha by mixing each flavor in a 50:50 ratio. Tastes great and dissolves easily in water. Right mix of carbs & protein for post-ride recovery. Usually follow with a solid meal within 2 hrs then ready to conquer another ride within 24 hrs.

This is particularly helpful when you will have a several-hour gap between finishing a ride and dinner. Especially on cycling trips. Kills hunger.
I like to mix the chocolate and coffee flavors 5050, dissolving it in warm water and then adding ice to chill it.

I have tried many brands of recovery drinks over the years. Stuff from Hammer, OSMO, SIS, etc. SKRATCH makes the best mostly from taste! performance comes into play too! I drink this after my morning and evening commutes into work for an early breakfast and before dinner snack and its part of my regimen after a long day of training. I buy this all the time
