SponserPro RecoveryMango, 800 g

Sponser Pro Recovery is a protein-carbohydrate recovery shake for committed endurance and strength athletes. Its protein content of 44 to 50% comes from seven components: whey, egg and casein in a 1:1:1 ratio, complemented by colostrum and pre-hydrolysed milk proteins. The Swiss manufacturer deliberately leaves out artificial sweeteners.

The recovery shake is designed for the window right after training or competition, when muscles and glycogen stores call for nutrients. It targets athletes with high training volumes, from cycling and running to strength sports.

• Recovery shake with 44 to 50% protein depending on the flavour
• Seven protein components including whey, egg, casein and colostrum
• Enriched with the amino acids leucine and glutamine
• Carbohydrate blend to restock glycogen in moderate amounts
• No artificial sweeteners, so it doubles as a plain protein shake
• Combines freely with sports drinks, bars or the next meal

The moderate carbohydrate share is intentional: if you eat after exercise anyway or use a sports drink, Pro Recovery delivers the protein without overloading your calorie budget. The tin is a good starting point, while regular users who mix a shake after every session do better with the bulk pack.

With Mango, Sponser offers a fruity route through recovery: the exotic flavour has a refreshing effect after sweat-inducing sessions and stands out pleasantly from milky-sweet shakes. This variety also does without artificial sweeteners. In the 800 g tin, the recovery shake is sized for a weekly training routine, from triathlon training to strength blocks.
