Frequently Asked Questions

Post-workout, your body needs both protein for muscle repair and electrolytes to restore hydration balance. Combining them creates a complete recovery formula that addresses both needs simultaneously.

Not required! The banana adds carbohydrates to replenish glycogen, which is helpful after intense workouts. If you're limiting carbs or prefer a lighter shake, you can skip it.

Aim for within 30 minutes post-workout. This is when your muscles are most receptive to nutrients. The combination of fast-absorbing whey and electrolytes works quickly to jumpstart recovery.

Absolutely! While particularly effective after strength training, this recovery shake works great after any intense cardio session (running, cycling, HIIT) where you've depleted electrolytes through sweat.
