Are you simply lactose intolerant? Many of the protein powders include lactase enzyme to digest the lactose in your system

Orgain chocolate protein powder
banana
peanut butter
chia and hemp seeds
water/ice

Tailwind Rebuild. Based off of rice protein, lactose/gluten free. Comes in chocolate and vanilla, both of which are delicious, and can mix with any liquid of your choosing.

I am lactose intolerant. But not nearly as severe as some.

That might be a good option. Tailwind is what I use for my nutrition on the bike. I’ll check out the rebuild.

Thanks. I’ll check out that protein powder. There’s so many on amazon I didn’t know where to start

If you DM your address I can sending you some samples!

Done. Thanks.

The best post workout recovery drink is a boiled egg...

-no sugar
-all 21 essential amino acids
-no gluten
-no lactose
-no flavors and colors
-no slime forming soya
-cheap
-environmentally friendly package
- more nutritionally dense than a calorie rich shake
-delicious with salt pepper and mayo

And NO carbs. So pretty much shit, as a recovery food by itself.

Vega Sport plant based protein is really good. I use their recovery accelerator too.

Do you need a lot of carbs to recover

Assuming this is a serious question...

"need" and "a lot" are loaded terms. But it is helpful to have some carbs immediately post workout for especially hard or long (or both) workouts. More so than the protein, actually.

Nothing wrong with an egg, but at 6g they don't really have all THAT much protein each. To each their own, but I don't want to eat 3 boiled eggs and a couple pieces of bread immediately post long run or ride.

Thanks ,am serious, i like and am into the eggs avocado combo after a session
Only try to get in carbs right after the more intense sessions, trying the healthy fat keto approach to see whats best

what about a lactose-free chocolate milk? That's what I love after a long workout

the world's still turning? >>>>>>> the world's still turning

lactose free chocolate milk is also a good idea. Some good options I have now

For post-workout you want a fast digesting protein with high biological value. Additionally if there is a lactose sensitivity, I'd probably avoid casein as well (some feel they're allergic to lactose, but it's actually the casein).

This basically steers you toward a whey isolate or soy based protein.

For prior to bed or meal replacement you'd be looking at a slower digesting version of the above which would steer you to egg-white protein.

After that, taste and other ingredients are up to you and your sensibilities.

I was going to suggest similar, but wasn't sure about the gluten aspect. I try to avoid buying "sports nutrition products". I use regular milk and ovaltine. Its the best part of the long/hard ride or run! Yuummmmm!

Also, if you regularly consume complete proteins (animal based, or the right combo of plant based ones), there's no reason you can't use a plant based protein (soy, et al) simply for recovery. My daughter grew up on regular milk, but is now lactose intolerant. She likes the taste of chocolate soy milk (but not white soy "milk").

Again, I have no clue on the gluten side of these things...which is why I was hesitant to make suggestions.

most milk alternatives I are gluten free or at least have minimal gluten. I can have some gluten it just ends up being a cumulative thing where too much ends up triggering some symptoms. Same with lactose. I would be classified as having having IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) so over about the past 15 years or so through trial and error I work through what works and what doesn't. and even then I will have stuff is gluten and lactose free and nothing particularly weird in the ingredients and it will cause issues. But my issues aren't debilitating like some people with celiac or other GI issues. I've only had a few times where I have opted out of stuff as my system is off the rails. So I count myself lucky. I never had issues growing up but around age 30 started developing symptoms.

Can or bottle of Coca-cola.

Great for hangovers too. ;-)

Are you yogurt-tolerant? (Many lactose-intolerant people can handle yogurt). The Chobani drinks are really convenient.

I’m more concerned you are driving an hour and 20 min to do a workout? You can’t come up with a better approach to get the work in - unless I’m misunderstanding the situation....?
