Hi Kelli,
I’ve been trying to ditch teh whole ‘supplement’ approach, and stick with real foods for the bike and recovery. For post-ride, I’ve been having chocolate milk (or just straight milk) and a small protein-rich snack (like a boiled egg or some canned tuna & rice).
What would you suggest as an ideal post-ride drink/snack that’s protein-rich to consume in that ‘magic 30-min window’, that falls into that ‘real food’ category?
Many thanks – loving your posts, I’ve been learning heaps since discovering this blog!

My concern is post ride recovery – should I consume a whey protein isolate with l-glutamine or skip all the fancy stuff and go for a tablespoon of peanut butter or an egg on a bagel and call it a day? Not looking to loose weight but to build lean muscle and RECOVER.

I’d like to know if there is one protein supplement source that is recommended over the others? I usually take protein bars, but would like to take what is best for me.

Can someone take too many protein supplements? I have been taking powders and bars for years and sometimes wonder if I’m causing problems for my body.
