Is ovaltine a good recovery drink

[msaunders26]

I have been told that ovaline is a good recovery drink after a workout.

Is this correct?

well online, I can only get calories and carb counts from their website. depending on the kind of sugar in it, it MIGHT be ok.

but, it has no protein. You'd still be better of (and cheaper) with a protein shake and added dextrose or malto-dextrine

You can do with something better (PWO) than Ovaltine.

You want to add some (extra) BCAA's to a protein shake after a workout along with some dextrose for recovery.
