Does anybody have any good recipes for mixing a post ride shake ? At the moment I mix milk banana and honey.

Why?

"Topping up with carbohydrate directly after exercise is essential and ideally you should also aim to down some protein as this helps repair damaged muscle. As milk contains both it’s a good option post ride"
My understanding is that a post ride drink such as milk helps to start muscle repair.

How can it be "essential"?

I ride at least 24 miles every day and I am fine.

You can really get caught up in the mumbo jumbo of cycling if you are not careful.

What length of ride would this be?

I doubt any of us are riding hard enough to consider a protein shake 'essential'. However, if you just like the taste, then I sometimes have a banana flavour Nesquik post-ride, but I'm under no illusion that it's turning me into a pro rider

Oh for goodness shakes!!! that's what I used to sup after longish rides but it seems to have disappeared from Tescos of late
