An integral part of recovery

In other words, I didn't recover very well. I thought about just increasing my whey protein by essentially eating another serving before bed, but then I did some research. game changer. Now I wake up in the morning feeling 100%. Although I never train the same muscle groups two days in a row, I feel like I can. I recover 100% in less than half the time. As a side effect, it tastes fantastic. I mix my milk with soy milk (yes, I drink soy, I'm sick of it) and a dollop of light cream after reading that a small amount of fat helps the body absorb large amounts of protein. In any case, vanilla is a very deep and pleasant aroma. For a change, I sometimes add some ground cinnamon or some nutmeg and ground cloves. In addition, I eat it right before bed and never feel very hungry in the morning and I've eliminated my late-night snacking regime. turns into a thick mix, like wet concrete.
