Recovery Smoothies

Have been a long time user of the Huma gels and just tried the recovery smoothie - game changer. Great taste and consistency in a pack which is easy to open when exhausted! I have really noticed a difference in my recovery since having these straight after exercise. Highly recommend

I’ve been a Huma brand fan for years now; I’ve been using the Huma Gels for long distance running since 2016. I’ve tried other gels and always end up coming back to Huma every time. So when I saw Huma Recovery it sparked my interest. I had walked into a triathlon store the other day and the owner (a triathlete himself) had the Huma Recovery packs at his store. He was ALL ABOUT THEM, spoke worlds of them. I had to see for myself. Found this 6-pack on Amazon and went for it. Now, keep in mind as an endurance athlete I am used to hours of strenuous training on a regular basis. Century rides and 15-20 mile runs are pretty regular for me. However, I’ve never used recovery supplements. NEVER. I rely on whole foods and good sleep to recover. So I thought I would be the perfect test specimen for Huma Recovery. “Would I see a difference?” I thought to myself. I had a two day, 150 mile ride planned last weekend and I decided to take a couple Huma Recovery packs with me. I rode 100 on day 1 and I slurped the Huma Recovery pack about 30 mins after I was done. I went about the rest of my day like I usually would after a long ride, had a good dinner and I rested. The next morning is when I felt the difference. Soreness was significantly reduced. Was there soreness still? Yes. But it felt different. I wasn’t stiff and my range of motion right out of bed was amazing. It was unlike any other century ride I had done before. I got up like I hadn’t biked 100 miles the day before. I felt great, I was ready for the last 50 of the weekend. (Saddle soreness was at a minimum, too). And I knew it had been the Huma. I did everything else the same and it was a distance that my body is used to traveling on a bike. It’s safe to say the Huma pack definitely played a major role in that night’s recovery. I’m a believer. I do want to talk a bit about the taste and texture. Any supplement can be great on paper but if it doesn’t feel or taste good going down, you’ll likely not come back to it. The Huma Recovery packs taste great!! I got the berry flavor and loved it. Not too thick, not too watery, not lumpy. It honestly reminded me of a GoGurt experience from when I was younger. It tasted great, fit anywhere and was fun to eat. Best of all was all the good my body experienced overnight because of it. Felt like a champ the next morning. I will be stocking up on Huma Recovery on a regular basis now. They’re a part of my endurance training and nutrition regimen moving forward. Yet again, thanks Huma!!

I fuel all my runs with HUMA so I was excited to order their new Recovery Smoothie. I always struggle eating after my runs so this was the perfect solution to be able to have on hand. The texture is smooth and not gritty, it’s easily portable and it is the perfect ratio of ingredients to aid in your recovery. Went for a long run with friends and had thrown some in the cooler for everyone to try: they were nice and cold from sitting on the ice and everyone loved them. Will definitely keep buying HUMA products.

Great product! All the added benefit you’d expect from a product that includes collagen, stronger nails, shinier hair, less joint pain, and is a great post workout supplement to assist with recovery. The ready-to-eat pouch is super convenient too, knowing after a workout I don’t have to mix and shake and make a mess—huge PLUS. I love the thought that went into the product and how healthy the ingredients are. I don't have to feel bad about what I am putting into my body. There is only one flavor option. It would be nice to see additional flavors added to prevent the monotony of eating the same flavor after each workout. Overall, the product has been beneficial and I’ll be incorporating these into my regular routine.

I've tried a lot of different recovery protein products, but the Huma Recovery Smoothie is the best I've found. I use Huma gels as my primary nutrition for running and biking (also highly recommended), so I gave the smoothie a try last year because it comes in a convenient pouch for when I travel (great perk). After a few uses I could definitely tell the difference between the Huma Smoothie and the other protein I was using at the time. My muscles felt so much more rejuvenated the next day after using Huma. Consuming something more solid after a hard workout was also much easier on my stomach than trying to suck down a shaker bottle of gritty water. And the taste!!! Who doesn't love mixed berries, that ACTUALLY taste like mixed berries? An added benefit is that the smoothie pouches are ideal for when I venture away from home on the weekends, which is most weekends. Not having to pack the powder and the bottles and then get them back home in whatever sanitary condition you leave them is a huge bonus. The rule is to consumer your recovery protein 45 minutes after the end of your workout, and having the pouch ready and waiting for me ensures I don't miss this window.
