A True Recovery Drink
I started using Tailwind products this year. I really enjoy them especially the Rebuild Recovery. I have had both the vanilla and chocolate. Not only are they tasty, but I feel better after my runs when I drink it.

Love the taste and ease of this recovery drink! I use almost daily after all of my intense workouts!
Oops, I dun it again... Mea culpa... I folded to the Siren's song of a heavily discounted competitor's recovery mix and my taste buds revolted in protest.
I said to myself; "Self, you've been using Tailwind Rebuild recovery since they launched it and you are extremely happy with it. Why on Earth would you ever consider that there is anything out there by competitors that could possibly be an improvement?
Oh look, a discount code for 65% off their (ridiculously overpriced) MSRP. Okay self, we're doing this in the name of personal science and to prove, irrevocably, that Tailwind REBUILD can not be improved upon!"
The new product arrives, I read every word of the label and am first put off by these foreign terms... Soy Protein Isolate and Sucralose... what the... " [tap,tap,tap... web search for Sucralose... WTF... made from sugar in a multi-step chemical process in which 3 hydrogen-oxygen groups are replaced with chlorine atoms. Chlorine?!? Okay... but at least it's "made" from sugar... now, this Soy Protein Isolate... tap,tap,tap... well, it seems it's a mixed set of reviews on efficacy and potential side effects of too much Soy; especially in males.
"At the bottom of the label; "Do not mix with milk as it will slow the absorption rate." Wait.. WHAT?!? I LOVE my post-ride milk-shakes with Tailwind REBUILD. I've come to look forward to returning to my truck and shake up a cocktail of coconut or almond milk with Tailwind REBUILD and savor those mix of flavors.
That other product, mixed in plain water... one word; HORRIBLE. It gelled into a thick, viscous state that was just... unpleasant to drink. Then that flavor... who in their right mind determined that's how chocolate should taste?!?
Sigh... well... that money was flushed down the toilet...
NEVER AGAIN SELF... NEVER.AGAIN!
Spoiler... Tailwind REBUILD still reigns supreme as the perfect recovery drink required by endurance athletes... especially this one!
Do not follow my path and stray from what works... no matter how tempting the discount. If they discounted it that heavily, should that not be a sign that it isn't up to the same standard that Tailwind has set?
Tailwind Rebuild is the first sport recovery drink based on a patent-pending perfectly complete protein. We start with organic rice protein, and supplement it with amino acids to make that protein complete. Then we add carbohydrates, some healthy fats from coconut milk, and just the right amount of electrolytes. Nothing repairs your muscles more efficiently, restores your energy faster, and makes you feel better sooner. And athletes love the great tasting healthy vegan ingredients.
Replenish glycogen stores: contains the right kinds and amounts of carbohydrates to restore your energy after a hard workout
Rebuild muscles: perfectly complete protein based on a patent-pending mathematical model to rebuild damaged muscle tissue and mitochondrial protein
Rehydrate and restore electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to restore electrolyte balance
Mix a packet of Tailwind Rebuild with 16oz (500mL) of water (shaken not stirred). Drink within the first 30 minutes after exercise. For longer or more intense workouts, follow with another packet of Tailwind Rebuild in the following 30 minutes.
