The first 30 minutes after exercise represent a window when your body absorbs nutrients more efficiently than at any other time. Tailwind Recovery Mix targets this window with 20 grams of complete plant-based protein, carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores, and electrolytes to restore what you sweated out. The protein comes from fava bean and brown rice sources, supplemented with all nine essential amino acids and added BCAAs to create what Tailwind calls a perfectly complete protein. This completeness matters because only complete protein rebuilds muscle directly, while incomplete protein gets burned as energy or filtered by the kidneys.

Each single-serving stick pack mixes with 16oz of water to create a smooth, milkshake-like drink without requiring a blender. The formula dissolves easily and creates a creamy texture that makes post-ride nutrition feel like a reward rather than a chore. Chocolate and Vanilla flavors deliver genuinely enjoyable taste profiles that riders actually look forward to after hard efforts. Some athletes mix Recovery with hot water after cold weather sessions for a warming treat.

The 12-pack format suits riders who want grab-and-go convenience for race bags, gym lockers, or keeping portions at work for post-commute recovery. The stick packs travel easily and eliminate the need to measure scoops when you're tired and just want to start recovering. Nutritionally, each serving provides approximately 220 calories with 500mg sodium, 520mg potassium, and 40mg calcium to address the full spectrum of post-exercise needs.... Read More
