What's similar to P90x Recovery formula

They're not necessary, in my opinion. I was doing Insanity and never bought a single food item from Beachbody and still managed to lose the weight I was looking to lose. Most everyone makes a recovery drink...just go to a sports nutrition store and you'll find about 100 of them.

In my experience, however, chocolate milk works just as well.

All I can tell you is, the days I do not drink my recovery formula, I am sore as heck the next day. And on the days I do, soreness is very negligible.

And No, I do not sell it or is in any way affiliated with the company.

Oh, I should say, that's the only supplement I buy. I have completed 2 rounds of P90X and currently in 1st week of P90X2.

I don't really recommend the recovery formula to women who are trying to lose weight or if they do use it to only do half a serving. You could eat a piece of fruit right after with some protein and be fine. The bars are pretty high in calories and sugar as well so you could definitely substitute with regular food. I buy the bars simply for times I an too busy to eat real food or don't have access, but not everyday. They are pretty good tasting though and I only eat half at a time. I went to a live event with Shaun T. the trainer for Insanity and he said he did not recommend the results and recovery if you are trying to lose weight past the first week. I know many people who use and it and have excellent results, but it is definitely not essential. Just do the program and get in the right macros it recommends through food. You will do great.

I've used it from day one and absolute love it. However the benefit is a mix of Carbs and a little protein after a workout. Certainly recommend some sort of recovery drink afterwards. chocolate milk is good in pinch. It has the right ratio of carbs to protein.

Hi there. I'm doing P90X right now and I have been for a while. I HIGHLY recommend the recovery drink. If you're going to buy anything from beachbody, at least get the recovery drink, lol. You can get multivitamins and protein bars anywhere, but that drink is one of a kind. If I don't have it after my workouts, the extent of how sore I get is completely ridiculous. I tried to replace it with L-Glutamine powder and some vitamin supplements, but it just didn't cut it. I love the recovery drink and I recommend it. And that's all I have to say about that. *shrug*

Lol 1 of a kind? Like most of their supplements it's overpriced garbage, it's dextrose and malto with some whey. And you don't even need a recovery drink after doing P90x

I thought we had a BOND, man.

I'd also like to add that you will benefit more by eating more natural sources of protein/carbs than using synthesized or overly processed stuff...try ground up flax seed and chia seed in smoothies with milk, peanut butter and greek yogurt for a high calorie. high fiber, high omega 3, good carb drink.

It's mostly high glycemic carbs for a reason.

Statements like these, show they just prey on people's ignorance. 500mg of creatine? lollercoaster

"A small amount of creatine to boost performance without adding bulk"

Hey, since you know what's what, why don't you enlighten the rest of us? Making fun of our "ignorance" isn't going to fix it, y'know? The reason we're here is to learn (thus reducing our ignorance). So what is it that you know and we don't? Seriously I'm not trying to be patronizing or anything, I just want to know what it is we're missing out on. That's why I'm here. *shrug*

The p90x nutrition book has a recipe for a recovery drink, my boyfriends using it and finds it perks him up after the exercises.

1 cup skimmed milk
1 scoop whey protien
1/2 cup frozen berries
1/2 medium banana
