I love me a Recoverite shake after a long ride. I even have them for breakfast occasionally. On the Hammer list Steve Born from Hammer gave an approximate recipe for making your own. For my shakes I use 2 cups Skim Milk a single serving of Recoverite and 1 frozen banana. If you are a first time Hammer user I invite you to use the affiliate link below for 15% discount on your first order.
Here's the recipe from Steve Born:
Every 2-scoop serving of Recoverite contains 32.5 grams of carbohydrates (30 grams complex carbs + 2.5 grams xylitol) + 10 grams whey protein isolate + 3 grams of glutamine.
Every scoop of Hammer Whey contains 18 grams of whey protein isolate + 6 grams
of glutamine. Every scoop of HEED contains 25 grams of complex carbs.
To get a fairly close replication of a one 2-scoop serving of Recoverite (a 3:1
ratio of carbs to protein) you'll need 1/2 scoop of Hammer Whey + slightly over
1 scoop of HEED (the typical "heaping scoop" should be sufficient). To replicate
a 4-scoop serving of HEED use 1 scoop Hammer Whey (18 grams of protein) +
slightly more than 2 scoops of HEED (50+ grams of carbs).

Mar 26, 2008 at 6:46 AM I just started using Recoverite and it is awesome!
Apr 10, 2008 at 9:15 PM Don't forget for those that are whey sensitive.
To simulate one serving of Recoverite try the following.
1.5 scoops of Heed
.5 scoops of Hammer Soy Protein
3-4 grams of glutamine
I use the different Heed flavors for variety.
