21g protein and 47g carbs per 80g serving, 63 servings
CNP Professional Pro Recover 5.04kg is CNP's post-training carbohydrate and protein powder. Each 80g serving provides 47g of carbohydrate and 21g of protein at 300 kcal, with 45g of sugars, 2.4g of fat, 0.5g of fibre and 0.08g of salt. The 5.04kg tub holds 63 servings across Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla.
The carbohydrate comes from dextrose monohydrate, a fast-digesting glucose source, and the protein side is a blend of whey protein concentrate and milk protein concentrate. Each serving also carries 256mg of vitamin C at 320% NRV, 8mg of vitamin E at 67% NRV and 50mg of DigeZyme, a blend of digestive enzymes. Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle mass. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
What separates Pro Recover from a standard whey is the ratio. At better than two parts carbohydrate to one part protein it is built as a single post-training mix rather than a protein shake. That ratio is also why the sugars figure is high at 45g per serving, which is 50% of the reference intake: the dextrose is itself a sugar, and it is there deliberately as the carbohydrate source. Read the panel before deciding it suits you.
Pro Recover suits people training at a volume or frequency where refuelling matters as much as protein intake, and anyone who would otherwise mix a separate carbohydrate powder into a shake. It is not the pick if you want a low sugar or low calorie protein. Contains milk. Produced in a facility that handles milk, egg, soy, gluten, nuts and peanuts.
Build it yourself alternative: XL Nutrition Cream Of Rice 2kg at £13.99 for the carbohydrate and XL Nutrition XTRA Whey 2kg at £34.99 for the protein, which lets you set your own ratio rather than take a fixed one.
