Sports drink vs recovery drink options



I read the reports on the benefits of chocolate milk and tried it. Was very impressed with the results I could feel in the hours after.

My recommendations are as follows:

one hour before event I eat a high carb bar, a cup of fruit yogurt, one dose of sublingual b complex, one amino acid supplement, cup of coffee and a lot of water.

during the event I drink a mixture of 1 part coke to 4 parts water.

after event, two big glasses of 2% milk and ovaltine, banana and eat as often as I get hungry and re-hydrate.
