Formulated by trainer and scientist Mike Lohre, it features a precise balance of quickly digestible carbohydrates and protein using all-natural ingredients, avoiding common additives like high-fructose corn syrup. This product delivers Olympian-level nutrition at an accessible price, perfect for athletes and fitness enthusiasts aiming to optimize post-workout recovery. ## Description Never Waste a Workout! Every athlete can sympathize with a poor workout and the frustration of feeling tired, weak and sore. These symptoms can be avoided with proper nutrition by maintaining your body's hydration and glycogen levels, which for many are chronically low. Glycogen is your muscle's way of storing energy, the more you have the greater your performance potential. By consuming an adequate supply of nutrients your body synthesizes its own glycogen, but here's the catch: timing is essential. After exercise, your muscles are glycogen deprived and you have only a short window of time to replenish them. If you don't, levels may be compromised for several days and future workouts will suffer. In fact, what you consume after your workout is almost as important as the workout itself. Mike Lohre, a trainer, coach and scientist understands the importance of proper nutrition for athletes. In his search for an honest post-workout product he found that most supplements fell short of expectations. Thanks to years of research we know exactly what should be in a recovery supplement, but most don't resemble this formula. Many manufacturers use sugar and high-fructose corn syrup as main ingredients; they taste sweet but are not the foundation of a quality supplement. Some, consistent with the research contain the right combination of nutrients but are ridiculously overpriced. So Mike took matters into his own hands and formulated the exact blend of nutrients to provide the quickest and most complete recovery in a post-workout supplement: Mike's Mix was born! With the highest quality of all natural ingredients, Mike's Mix consists of the optimal proportion of quickly digestible carbohydrates and protein without the laundry list of additives. Mike's Mix is offered at an exceptional value, a formula made for an Olympian but available and affordable to everyone. Enjoy! Review: My energy has returned! An affordable P90X recovery drink. - UPDATE 12/29/12: Isn't it interesting that many of the earlier 5-star reviews (including this one) all have low helpfulness ratings? Just about every single one of them. Very suspicious. I wonder if desertcart monitors that kind of stuff and identifies possible instances of competitors trying to sabotage good ratings of products that challenge their market share. I'm currently in law school and 66 days into my first full round of P90X. In other words: I'm broke, sleep-deprived, and sore. Halfway through P90X I was really struggling. I wasn't seeing good results even though I finished each workout and ate clean. I was yawning towards the end of the workouts and the 100% Whey protein shakes I made after each workout weren't cutting it. Each evening around 6PM I'd be falling asleep while studying. At one point I considered dropping P90X in order to save some energy to stay awake each evening. The folks at Beachbody emphasize how important it is to fuel up immediately after an intense workout like P90X so I considered buying the official P90X Results and Recovery Formula: 30-Day Supply . Unfortunately, regardless of how well it works, it's way out of my price range. I barely had enough money to buy the P90X discs and equipment, much less an additional $60/month for the formula. Thankfully, I found Mike's Mix. Mike's Mix gets the job done. Period. My workout performance and overall energy levels have skyrocketed and my post-workout soreness has plummeted. I can workout at 3:30PM and have more than enough energy to make it to 11PM in time for bed. I take 1-2 scoops of Mike's Mix after a workout - 1 to 1.5 scoops with a scoop of Whey for the strength-training exercises; the full two-scoop serving for Plyo and Yoga (IMO the two most intense P90X workouts). I wish I had Mike's Mix on day 1. I'm sure my results and energy level would have been much higher. I'm starting another round of P90X after I finish this one so I'll come back and post an update on this review when I finish that round using Mike's Mix throughout. Other reasons to choose Mike's Mix: 1. Taste - It tastes amazing compared to most of the other drinks out there and especially considering he doesn't use any flavors, colors, or preservatives. It's all natural and he makes it himself every week. 2. Price - This costs about half as much as a drink of equal quality, mostly because he spends money on better ingredients instead of special packaging, advertising, etc. 3. Ingredients - Mike uses good stuff. Since he isn't spending money on ads and promotion, he puts some high-quality stuff in here. 4. Mixes well - I use a Blender Bottle W/Wire Ball-Large 28 Oz. to shake this up and it works perfectly. 5. Customer service - In addition to his website with tons of information, articles, and advice (and the option to buy Mike's Mix in bulk for an even lower price), Mike is a good guy and he personally responds to customer questions. I e-mailed him with a question when I first got it in the mail and he responded within 12 hours. If you're on the fence and don't want to shell out $60/month for P90X Recovery Drink (or a $60 equivalent), give Mike's Mix a try. Just do it. Even if you're swimming in money and have enough for the expensive stuff, use it to buy more Mike's Mix that will last you longer. Buy one tub of it and see for yourself. FYI: I'm an independent buyer who stumbled on Mike's Mix when looking for something to use during P90X. I don't know Mike but I'm glad he's making this for people like me who want to perform well on a tight budget. Review: Reduces soreness, tastes great, give it a try! - Update 8/18/2014: I'm now about 7 weeks into the p90x3 program and I'm probably on my last week or so of Mike's Mix. I don't take it everyday and as noted below, I rarely use two scoops. That being said, I've been through all of the workouts now and I'm still very impressed with how effective this recovery drink has been. There may have been two days out of the last 7 weeks where I felt sore the next day but even then it's very mild. Quick tip: I've gotten lazy with shaking my mix with water and have gotten a few clumps lately (completely my fault)...use your blender bottle and metal ball and/or shake well so you don't eat powder clumps lol. I'm afraid to order anything but the chocolate flavor because it tastes so good! Original Review: I just started p90x3 and wanted a recovery drink I could afford. I'm only three days in (and going strong!) but I had to come back to say that this mix is stellar. I'm not a big athletic guy. No, I don't lift. I haven't exercised normally in a loooong time so I expected my body to be very sore when starting this fitness program. Surprisingly I'm not too sore! Yes, I can feel the soreness at times but it is completely tolerable. I've done p90x single workouts before where for 2-3 days after I can barely get myself up the stairs and back (darn you wall squats!!), so I know about being very sore. Not being sore = more able/willing to workout the next day and that is very important to me. I usually drink just one scoop for now and will likely up that as my workouts get more intense. So, I'm not sore as much. Yay! But that is not my favorite part of this mix. No, my favorite aspect of this mix is the taste. I burn through my workout and feel rewarded when I drink Mike's Mix. I've never used a recovery drink before so I can't compare it to anything else, but I will say its the best tasting workout drink I've ever had. It's seriously like a glass of chocolate milk! Except it's still light like water is rather than the heavy thickness that can happen with chocolate milk. A+ so far and will buy again when this one runs out. ## Features - Packaging received may differ than pictured. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004GISBW6 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #264,553 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #483 in Sports Nutrition Pre-Workout Powders | | Brand | Mike's Mix | | Brand Name | Mike's Mix | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | | Each Unit Count | 1.00 | | Flavor | Chocolate | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 1.86 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Liquid Contents Description | Drink Mixes | | Manufacturer | Mike's Mix | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 26 | | Package Information | Can | | Package Type Name | Tub | | Part Number | mjfse-053 | | Specialty | Post-workout Recovery | | UPC | 721633110637 | | Unit Count | 64 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mike's Mix - **Flavor:** Chocolate - **Unit Count:** 64 Ounce - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Package Information:** Canister - **Number of Items:** 1 - **UPC:** 721633110637 - **Manufacturer:** Mike's Mix ## Images ![Recovery Drink. 4lb-Chocolate (26 Servings) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CwfaN8PFL.jpg) ![Recovery Drink. 4lb-Chocolate (26 Servings) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aQEzimcFL.jpg) ![Recovery Drink. 4lb-Chocolate (26 Servings) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hAK-QH8TL.jpg) ![Recovery Drink. 4lb-Chocolate (26 Servings) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gz6mbpk7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My energy has returned!

I have been using recovery drinks for a long time, but I had mostly been making my own, mixing protein powder with naturally high carb fruit juice in about a 3:1 ratio. I switched to a premixed recovery drink, just in time for it to be discontinued, so I have been looking for a long term solution to my recovery drink supply and it needed to have 1) approximately the carb to protein ratio 2) be within an acceptable calorie range 3) take care of the workout effects I originally began using recovery drinks for 4) be drinkable Numbers 1 and 2 are in the same vein for me so I will address them first. My needs for a recovery drink respond to about half of 1 serving of Mikes Mix, this corresponds to 36.5g carbohydrates, 10g of protein and 189 calories. I found this to be in my range of acceptability for me over time training. In the week since I have been using Mike's Mix I have experienced no change in negative side effects from the switch from a previous recovery drink, it's hard to give any further analysis on this considering the short time frame I have been using it, but for me, it works. It's drinkable. At first I found it weirdly sweet and week, but I reduced the amount of water to mix (less than a cup for half of the serving size) and I am getting used to it. I would say it's easy to drink now, its growing on me. It blends completely in my blender bottle (One of those bottles with the metal whisk ball in it) I just mention it because I had some other reviews commenting on mix-ability, and I think it's better than average actually. My only complaint is the way serving size is handles on mikes mix it says 100g, or 3 over flowing scoop fulls (which I didn't find a very accurate measure). I found that 50g is almost exactly 1/3 cup, so I just leave a 1/3cup measure in there, much easier I think. In addition to the points I wanted Mike's is also more affordable than other recovery drinks I've tried. Overall good product, would recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1236786-recovery-drink-4lb-chocolate-26-servings](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1236786-recovery-drink-4lb-chocolate-26-servings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
