After-workout power drink

Dyne · 07-20-2008, 12:35 AM

Ok, so this is bit of a typhoid thread. But anyways, I'm drinking this delicious after-workout concoction. Every year, my mom makes this delicious, fruity banana-pineapple-orange slushie which we put in cups and pour club soda into. With a shot of grenadine, it's delicious.

So, I made one today, and on the back of this soy Protein Powder container, it says to mix into your favourite beverages. So I did. And the result is strangely delicious. It's fruity AND chocolately and hazelnutty.

What weird things have you come up with, that turned out to be strangely delicious?

Chocolate milk is he best post-workout drink.

Maybe with some chocolate whey protein powder in it.

Yeah, that's what I've had previous nights - just 240ml/a cup of milk with the 80 grams of protein powder in it. It's a real bitch to stir in, but it's really good, especially now that I get a little heartburn because I'm working out at night rather in the morning. It's delicious and mellow.

I think Chai tea would work really well too.

A Typhoid thread?
Thanks a lot, Phil. Hahaha.

That sounds really good actually, though.

I make this milkshake from time to time, you put ice cream, milk, the thin mint girlguide cookies, a couple tablespoons of strawberry jam, and a little bit of syrup in the blender, and blend.

It comes out tasting like heaven.

Ive been working out on my Total Gym Chuck Norris style lately. I'll usually mix protien powder with milk afterwards. I used to mix it with a spoon which didnt work very well, but we recently got a blender so I use that now. I do wonder though, does protien powder really give you bigger muscles?

I tend to just drink some black iced coffee after I work out. Maybe a bottled protein smoothie, but I usually drink that before I go run.

A strange alcoholic concoction I once made was called "the Log Cabin." It involved putting whiskey into a shot glass and pouring in a bit of maple syrup and then putting it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. It was okay.

Only later did I find out that there is already a "Log Cabin" drink which is something like this...

- 2 1/2 oz whisky (whiskey,bourbon...)
- 1 tbsp cream
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp orange soda (orangina, fanta...)

The second one might be better, sounds kind of good actually...

Fruit smoothies rock. I haven't used any protein supplements in a while...I haven't really been trying to build mass, it's already there. Blueberries are full of goodness, I recommend making something with them.

I don't take any special or extra stuff when I'm working out. But then again, I don't want to be a tank.

Me neither

I just want to be slimmer then I have been for 23 years now. Granted, I am doing resistance in addition to cardio, but I personally don't feel the need to look...weird I guess. Just not something for me. Slimmer, some muscle, but I don't want to overdo it for myself.

I use hempseed for the majority of my protein intake. I used to buy whey but that shit is garbage. They used to throw it away until they found out people would actually consume it.
Hempseed hearts have the perfect ratio of omega-3 and omega-6's. I usually mix it in with some frozen bananas and other frozen fruit. I also have this organic coconut powder which tastes supa fine along with raw sugar cane for sweetener. I also use a little bit of rice protein powder. I'm a raw food vegan but I haven't had any problem with protein intake so far. I also make almond/brazil/hazelnut/walnut milk which is super high in protein and fat.

All if this sounds delicious! Where do you get all those "nut" milks? We have almond around here, but where do you find the others? I guess good health-food stores probably have them, but they can be few and far between.

Raw food vegan...hardcore.

Nothing like a good Gatorade after a work out. Mhmm...

I loooooove Smoothie King smoothies. But I'm usually too afraid to try any of their hundred concoctions that I haven't had before, because it could easily end up as a $7 cup of crap I don't want. However I was adventurous today, and tried their Go Goji concoction, and I'm damn glad I did. A new favorite. But they're not usually something I have after a workout. I usually just drink water after a workout.

A great alcoholic drink a friend and I came up with includes three things

1. Jack
2. Coke
3. Splash of Bailey's Irish Cream

It's called "Jack-Off in Coke". You can either stir the Baileys or leave it as is, a splash of white milkyness.
