I tried my first packet after a 3 hour training run. I mixed the packet with skim milk and some frozen dark cherries and gave it a whirl in the blender. This frozen concoction tasted awesome. And it must have worked pretty well because I had enough energy to go shopping with my wife shortly afterwards – and that is a feat of endurance unto itself. Later in the week, I drank an Abloc recovery drink after another strenuous workout; this time just mixed with skim milk. I mixed it by using two cups like a shaker. This did not get the powder mixed as well as I would have liked, but it still tasted great. Not chalky or off-putting like some powdered whey drinks I have tried. Again, the drink was satisfying after a hard workout. It left a little undissolved residue in the bottom that turned into a solid brick after I left it sit on the counter without putting water in the cup (for which I was admonished by my wife and made to go shopping again). With the third and final packet of Abloc, I mixed it with skim milk and a couple ice cubes and blended into a milkshake. Once again, a very refreshing recovery drink as I train for my upcoming marathon. I would recommend giving Abloc a try. Great flavor and enough of a pick-me-up to go shopping after a three hour run.

A great tasting protein powder Indeed, believe it or not! Even in regular water, abloc tastes great (but much better in milk!). I also like that, unlike most protein powders, they include carbohydrate. This makes it a 2 in 1 powder for before or during training when I want PRO & CHO fuel, or post run when I'm looking to recover with the protein and to replenish glycogen for my next run that day with the carbohydrate!

I used the abloc Endurance Recovery during an intense endurance work out. I was very surprised with how great it tasted, even better I was really amazed at how fast I recovered from my work out. I wasn't sore and I could get right back at my next training session. I am very excited to order my next batch!!
