I love this product. I make this a staple supp as its great post workout. Mixes fine in water and great in milk. I use one of those hand blenders but im sure it would be ok with a folk too. Highly recommend.

"i have tried allsorts of formulas from MP and found this very good product! i also add 1 more scoop of whey and 1 whole egg in aswell after training. i do powerlifting and suffer DOMS quite badly some days.this stuff soaks up all this ,feel great and at a good price.would like to see HMB aswell in the mix.choc tastes ok , i mix with low fat milk,would recommend to try at least once. 4 stars due to taste ,but that should not matter due to the benefits! will be buying again"

"taste is fine, it actually doesnt taste of anything, more foamy than other protein powders, which makes drinking it a bit more sickly, but the taste is fine. Didnt notice any immediate improvement in recovery but also had a stomach bug the next day, but not attributing that to the shake.\n\nGood taste, brilliant value."

Excellent product - will report back on longer term results - good price - good delivery - only using half dose (1 scoop) with 1 scoop of whey blend as not a fan of creatine.\n\nTaste - man up - it is fine.\nMP - please do a version without creatine and HMB instead.

"This product is great, i reconmend this to anybody that is thinking about getting competitor brands at a more inflated price. The only thing i could ask for is maybe shrinking the packaging as only a 1/3 of the bag is actually used(have requested this in the forum). If you do use other competitor recovery products then really consider getting this and i fell you won't be disappointed."

"My first order off MP and was quick delivery with no probs... plus won a £25 voucher off my next order too so bargin!!\nWas abit worried about the taste after reading alot of the reviews, but after having it today after a training session I didn't see the problem, yes has a very small bitter taste and i suspect thats the creatine (creapure) but the I have no problem with the taste.\nHaven't had enough time to judge the effects of this recovery product, but have no doubt it will be superb (will report back in a few weeks with more feedback)"

"I am by no means a professional athlete - quite the opposite in fact but I do train in martial arts and have taken to running of late. I've tried other products on the market but have recently purchased Recovery XS after reading the many positive reviews on this site. I've used the product twice now, both after running sessions.\n\nFirstly, the taste - after reading reviews on here and reading the number of negative comments regarding the taste I was expecting the worst. However, I ordered the strawberry flavour and can honestly say that the taste is fine, in fact I like it and prefer it to other leading brands that I have tried! Do not be put off by the negative comments on taste - as somebody has already stated, taste is subjective and at the end-of-the-day its the products performance that counts.\n\nSecondly, I always, regardless of stretching and warm-up/down exercises ache considerably the day after training. I've only taken the product twice so can't really endorse it other than to say in my brief experience the product has worked wonders thus-far and that I'd recommend it it to others.\n\nI'll keep you posted on progress but thought I'd share my experience to-date, for what its worth."

"Sure the ingredients are quality, but the taste - holy s**t! Give me powdered BCAA any day. Tried it for the first time after a max effort squat session. Disgusting, but shall persevere. Normally take Reflex Whey Refresh + Gatorade + Creapure as a PWO (or Surge Workout Fuel when funds allow)."

"AA* for Recovery, The taste is bareable what I'm going to do next time is use less water to mix the formula and drink some water to wash it down afterwards or just think how good I'm going to feel when my body absorbs it, I'd rather have bad tasting drink than loads of crap added to make it taste well. There are flavorings you can buy from MP. \n As for the creatine it is only 3grams of the creatine monohydrate that is less eaisily digestable than the Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl (CEE) so cycling 8 weeks on CEE and 1 week off CEE it will not matter having 3g of creatine in this amazing Recovery Formula."

"Not sure why there are so many reviews about it tasting bad, it's no McD's milkshake but if that's what you want good luck gaining anything apart from fat.\n\nI can happily down or sip a pint of it, the ingredients are great and so are the results."
