Product Description

CLIF SHOT is all about delivering great-tasting, scientifically-backed, and sustainably-produced products to performance athletes. In other words, energy food can taste great and be made from good-for-the-planet ingredients. It's that simple.

After hard training or racing, you‘re likely a little dehydrated and low on energy. With carbohydrates, protein, and amino acids to help rebuild muscle glycogen stores, and anti-oxidants (Vitamins A, C, E, and Green Tea extract) to help boost your immune system, CLIF SHOT Recovery will help you bounce back fast.

Flavors: French Vanilla Hot Chocolate (add HOT water) Mango Orange

Features

When should I use Recovery and how much should I consume?


Recovery is meant to be used immediately AFTER activity. The quantity consumed will depend on both body weight and the intensity of the activity you just completed. As a starting point, refer to the chart below. We designed Recovery so that it meets the generally accepted principle of 1.2 – 1.5 grams of carbohydrate per kg of body weight immediately following activity. With that in mind a 150 lbs. person should consume between 250 and 400 calories from carbohydrate. 1 (16oz) serving of CLIF SHOT® Recovery contains 280 calories from carbohydrate. This is a starting point for your personal post-activity nutrition. We highly recommend experimenting so that you can perfect this.


How is CLIF SHOT® Recovery different from other recovery drinks on the market?

Voted 3/5

I've only had the HC flavor and it is really delicious. Can't really comment on how well it affects your recovery, because this stuff is all objective and mostly mental I would presume. Not sure of the price either, 'cuz I got all mine free at the '08 Ouray Ice Festival. If you believe all the hype, pick some up and try it. Like I said, it does taste good as far as cocoa goes, but may be a bit more pricey than regular HC.
