FAQ

How do I use Tailwind Recovery Mix?: Mix one stick pack or three level scoops with 16 oz of water and shake. Consume within 30 minutes after exercise. Can also be mixed with milk or a milk alternative for a richer texture.

How is this different from a regular protein shake?: Tailwind Recovery Mix delivers 20g of complete plant-based protein per serving from fava bean isolate and brown rice protein, with the nine essential amino acids needed for muscle repair, plus carbohydrates to restock glycogen and electrolytes to restore hydration balance. Most protein shakes focus only on protein without addressing glycogen replenishment or electrolyte restoration.

What changed in the 2025 formula update?: Tailwind reformulated Recovery Mix in July 2025, doubling the protein to 20g per serving and switching to a fava bean and rice protein blend. Fava bean protein is smooth, hypoallergenic, and more sustainable than many other protein sources.

My Recovery Mix looks frothy. Is something wrong?: No. The new formula creates more foam when shaken, which is completely normal and does not affect performance.

Best For

Cyclists who want a complete post-ride recovery drink that covers protein, glycogen replenishment, and electrolyte restoration in one convenient mix. Best used within 30 minutes after finishing a hard or long effort. The individual format is ideal for trying flavors or taking on the road.
