I would just use a normal recovery drink, I do and I am vegetarian (25 years +) and have had iron deficiency anaemia which is definitely debilitating. It has taken over a year to get to having iron levels stabilized and I can now go back to a higher level of training.
I also live in a household with one member having to have a gluten free diet. Because I did not look after myself properly and put others needs above my own, I got into the situation where I developed anemia. So now I make sure I look after myself first and then I am able to make sure the other members of my family are also well catered for. This can mean sometimes cooking more than one family meal.
This is how I did it. I take a high dose iron tablet once a day (it was twice a day) and twice daily during my period. I have my iron levels checked regularly to make sure I am within the normal range. I find that I feel better when they are on the high end of normal. This is common for endurance athletes. I am vigilant about what I eat and when I eat it. I do not drink tea and am careful about when I consume coffee. Also don’t drink alcohol. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means I eat free range eggs and some dairy. I do not eat fish or seafood. Lots of foods have protein in them and by increasing your grains and pulses you should get most of your protein needs without having to resort to dairy for protein. Just take your iron supplement either two hours before or two hours after any food containing calcium. I often take mine about an hour after lunch, or later in the evening. I have not had any stomach upset from the iron tablets. If you do, take them with your meal.
At one stage, I was thinking that I may have to stop being a vegetarian if I wanted to continue doing triathlons. This was a huge dilemma for me as I became a vegetarian for ethical reasons and had been one for years. I gave myself a deadline of six months to see if I could look after myself properly and make sure my vegetarian diet was of quality for my body’s needs. So I took the time to prepare and cook nutritious and well balanced vegetarian meals instead of just making do with what I cooked for the family, I reduced the amount of training and racing I was doing and took extra recovery time if I noticed the signs of anemia creeping back. I will probably have to continue to take an iron supplement as long as I am doing endurance type activities and this is ok with me at this time because I certainly feel better with normal iron levels.
