Plant-based sports nutrition brand, Rawvelo, has launched a Recovery Drink Mix developed for consumption after exercise to enhance recovery and refuelling.
According to the company… ‘Created with an optimum 3:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, the Recovery Drink Mix is vegan and uses only natural ingredients in-fitting with the rest of the Rawvelo range.’
Rawvelo offers 100% plant-based and all natural products spanning energy gels, energy bars, hydration drink mixes and now also a Recovery Drink Mix to enhance the range.
Rawvelo adds that a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio allows for the effective absorption of both sugars for optimal carbohydrate uptake, whilst organic coconut water powder and pink Himalayan salt provide essential electrolytes for rehydration post-exercise.
Flavour comes in the form of pea protein, which offers a full amino acid profile, blended with cocoa powder and organic date powder, which contains trace minerals and micro nutrients. Alongside this, psyllium husk acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and aiding gut repair and health.
Rawvelo Co-Founder Jason Evans said “We’ve been working on the formula for our new Recovery Drink Mix for many months now, trying to balance the best flavour and protein delivery using only natural, plant-based ingredients – something that’s not straightforward when considering protein.
“We sampled the Recovery Drink Mix at the recent Cycle Show in London and the feedback was great, often described as tasting more like a milkshake than a sports drink. We’re excited to get the new drink live on our website and with our retail partners around the UK, and to hear from more athletes as they look to enhance their recovery with a plant-based, natural alternative.”
100g of Recovery Drink Mix powder can be added to 600ml of water, milk, or a dairy-free milk substitute. Each serving contains nutrients for recovery, carbohydrate to replenish depleted glycogen stores, and 21g of protein to support muscle repair.
As a registered member of 1% For The Planet, for Rawvelo ensures the entire range of its product packaging is easily recyclable too – including the 1kg pouch packaging of the new Recovery Drink Mix.
The Chocolate flavour Recovery Drink Mix is available to purchase in a 1kg pouch for £29.49.
