recovery shake

Muscle-repair beverage

A recovery shake is a protein-rich drink consumed after exercise to help muscles repair and rebuild.

Typically made with protein powder, liquid, and sometimes fruit or other supplements, it's designed to replenish nutrients depleted during a workout: I always have a recovery shake within thirty minutes of lifting.
