What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine.

Colossal Chocolate

ON's 2:1:1 recovery offers a lot of simple carbs, a nice blend of proteins, and minimal fat for optimal post-workout recovery. I like the formula with the exception of so many simple carbs, some complex ones would be nice. The taste isn't fantastic, but it's alright, standard as far as ON's flavoring goes. It's a bit pricey, so you're probably better off just nabbing a whey/casein blend and pouring that over your favorite sugary cereal.

This is a great product. I would compare this to Muscle Milk or Whey Protein, the only thing that's better about this product is you pay the same amount for this product and this product lasts a lot longer and you get more out of it.

A product lives in the shadows of Golden Finish, Torrent, and Myozene waiting to emerge from the darkest crevices. The name is 2:1:1 Recovery brought to you by industry leader Optimum Nutrition. A formula whose goal is to offer rapid replenishment and recovery. Let's delve into the mysterious product.

Profile: It contains 70 grams of carbohydrates which includes Waxy Maize Starch. Also, 2:1:1 recovery contains 35 grams of quick acting Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, medium speed egg albumen, and slow worker micellar casein.

Mixing: Instant like making Hot Pockets

Taste: I got a sample of Very Vanilla and it was very good. I thought Mucho Mango and Colossal Chocolate was great, but this is number one in regards to taste. Mix it with milk if you can.

Overall: I need to get some money quick and pick up a container of 2:1:1 Recovery.

Recovery ability		This is what I was missing in my workouts- a great recovery formula.


Muscle gain		I do wish it came in larger sizes though especially for the serving size required.
Taste		Tastes great and provides results.


Taste		It's delicious, one of the best tasting proteins I've had.
Value for money		It's a little pricey


Taste		Mucho Mango was a terrible flavor and I don't recommend that,


Texture		however, you really need to shake it to avoid clumping, and even then it has a tendency to be a bit chalky... hence the 2pt deduction.
Recovery ability		Oddly enough, there aren't that many products that combine carbs and protein in a recovery drink, which this does nicely.
Taste		The Mucho Mango flavor is nice and light to chug down following a workout;
Mixes well		however, you really need to shake it to avoid clumping, and even then it has a tendency to be a bit chalky... hence the 2pt deduction.


Recovery ability		Hands down one of the best recovery blends out there.
Taste		Thanks ON and Mucho Mango is my favorite, the Colossal Chocolate is a little too rich tasting for me.


Texture		The Very Vanilla is even more bitter (and chalky), and the aftertaste is horrible.
Texture		For those who don't like bitter chalky taste and strange aftertastes, I highly do not recommend this product.
Recovery ability		I've experience good recovery when using this product as a post-workout shake.
Taste		The Colossal Chocolate gives a bitter taste and aftertaste.

Value for money		Overall product rating considering what it did, price, taste and so on: 5/10.


Taste		I like this product the most because of the great taste it has in water.
Mixes well		The powder mixes well without a shaker bottle and gives you a good amount of protein and amino acids.


Recovery ability		i have been taking this stuff for a few months now for post workout recovery.
Recovery ability		A good product for a post workout drink that helps with recovery.
Taste		It mixes up easily and taste great.
Mixes well		It mixes up easily and taste great.
