“I have tried making a post workout drink using the ratios you have posted. [Post-Workout Nutrition: What Not To Do] You’re right, the taste was horrible. Can you recommend a good brand? Thank you. Taylor.� – via Ask Questions.

There are a number of pretty good post-workout drinks on the market. Accelerade by Pacific Health, Surge by Biotest, and Relentless by Xtreme Formulations are all good brands.

I have used them all and they all get the job done. Personally, I have been using Surge lately. This is completely subjective, of course, but it tastes better than other post-workout drinks that I have tried.

Another minor detail worth mentioning is how Surge mixes with water. It dissolves quickly and completely, no need to use a blender – which might not matter if you workout at home and have a blender, but it makes a big difference at the gym.
