What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine.

2:1:1 Carbohydrate Ratio
2 x Glucose Polymers + Waxy Maize Starch
1 x Sucrose
1 x Fructose

2:1:1 Protein Ratio

1 x Egg Albumen (Intermediate)

1 x Valine

Recovery ability		I've found this "all in one" formula to work best for recovery.
Taste		Go for the very vanilla flavor and toss in a little avocado, banana and vanilla almond milk.


Physical energy		I loved this product because it gave me incredible energy.
Taste		The flavor is great and the mix-ability is good.


Value for money		i like to use my 100% whey with 2 servings of dextrose and something a scoop of creatine and i saw some great results!! so save yourself alot of money and do that because 45$ for 15 servings is not worth it to me
Value for money		but like i said i think highly of this product if you have the money go for it just my suggestions


Endurance		I get tired of the boring vanella&chocolate flavors so the mango and raspberry flavors are a good change.
Taste		Taste great and has plenty of protein and carbs for refueling.

Taste		Very tasty, to be honest its like instant hot chocolate!


Recovery ability		Toss up between this product and ON Hydro Builder for my favorite recovery drink.


Taste		nothing taste better than this.. beside, its 1 of the best post-work out supplements ever !!


Recovery ability		Best recovery product on the market - and if you read on, the only reason it isn't a 10/10 is because A) people downrate for taste or B) people downrate for the 3.73 lb size.
Taste		It tastes amazing, and you can seriously feel it revitalize you after a workout.

Taste		I use this in the morning and hydro-builder after workouts, great taste and very good result


Texture		Solid smoothie and pretty tasty too!

Taste		That said, the taste was absolutely atrocious.
Taste		Extremely medicinal raspberry flavor.
Taste		I don't know if it is just this particular flavor (my first go-round with ON's fruit flavor)...

Taste		Solid smoothie and pretty tasty too!
Taste		Raspberry flavor & milk didn't seem like a good idea to me,
Taste		but the milk base really made this particular flavor palatable.


Muscle gain		I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of the ON line and recently discovered that their products are made in America... and that count's for something with me.
Taste		Tastes great and gives me everything I need to feel great post workout.


Texture		This protein powder is great, again this is not thick like others and gives you a good amount of what is needed for a good recovery from a good workout.
