Flavor Science
Chocolate Smoothie
We went all in on the cocoa for this one. Deliciously sweet, smooth, and rich, this protein packed concoction reminds us of a comforting cup of hot (or cold) chocolate. After a tough workout, we think you’ve earned the right to indulge on some chocolatey goodness. Take a few sips and your taste buds will be just as happy as your muscles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need to Think About Recovery?
Recovery involves the process by which you get stronger over time and begins as soon as you finish exercise. Adequate recovery is dependent on rest and replenishing key nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes depleted during activity. Protein helps repair and rebuild muscles, carbohydrates replenish glycogen stores, and electrolytes aid in rehydration. The more proactive you are with your recovery, the faster you'll bounce back and be ready to train hard again.
What Kind of Protein Is Used and Why?
Whey protein is our choice for recovery because it has the highest biological value of any supplemental protein source, which indicates how much of the protein is used by the body for repair and recovery of tissues. It’s also fast-acting, easily digested, and absorbed more quickly than other proteins, including other milk-derived proteins such as casein, or plant-based proteins. Whey protein isolate is the most purified, protein-rich form of whey protein, and is what we use in new ROCTANE Protein Recovery in addition to hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, which is further broken down into smaller, more easily digestible particles to promote absorption and speed delivery to muscles!
When Should I Take Roctane Protein Recovery?
We recommend taking in a protein supplement 30-60 minutes post workout to help with the recovery process and replenish muscle glycogen that was depleted during the workout.
Is Roctane Protein Recovery Safe for Children?
Yes, it's safe for children.
