20g of protein and tastes like a treat. This is hands down the best protein I’ve had. There’s carbs and electrolytes. It’s super tasty, not too sweet. I literally crave it after a long run and I feel like I’m treating myself. SO WORTH IT.

Post race carbs and protein. I use Tailwind recovery literally everyday and post race will be the same.
