    Can anyone recommend a good protein shake that has carbs for recovery?

    What I do is make my own "mass gainer" shake. Get yourself a blender, chuck in a banana or two, a scoop of protein or two and some plain old oats. Add plain milk, almond milk for less calories or just water and blend it up. I like to add spinach or kale too as eating veg can be a chore at times. Easy and cheap way to bang out 1000 calories or so.

    However if you're a lazy sod, or if you just want pure efficiency and money isn't a big deal, there are products out there like Mutant Mass which is 1000 cals per serving with over 100g of carbs and about 50g of protein.

    I like a scoop of protein powder, some berries (frozen or otherwise), handful of spinach, plain old oats, and almond milk.

    SW supreme whey protein. It's really good for after the gym. I take it straight away after my workout

    I've bought a bag of dextrose. So I take a protein, dextrose, creatine shake straight after the gym

    Yeah I did that for a while but I can't get it out of my head that I'm literally downing pure glucose. I'd rather eat some ice cream if I want sugar.
