GU Recovery Brew Drink–Initial Review

Use, Flavor, and Consistency:

We tried both flavors, Orange-Pineapple and Strawberry-Watermelon.  Our preference is for the Strawberry-Watermelon.  Comparing the flavors, the Strawberry-Watermelon did a much better job of masking the protein and carbohydrate flavors.  To be honest, we really love this flavor, it tastes completely different than any of the other recovery drinks we’ve tested.  The best description we can come up with is ‘juice-like’, much less harsh and medicine-like than other drinks.

GU is proud of their product and note on their website that users can “say goodbye to grainy, chalky, salty and smelly” recovery beverages.  We completely agree.  The product dissolves almost completely in regular water by simply shaking the mixture.  As mentioned above, the flavor is excellent and much more pleasing than most other drinks.
