it’s about the best post-exercise recovery drink available
No doubt. I drink a quart of skim milk with two scoops of protein supplement every morning after my workout.
Are you drinking organic or off the shelve? OTS is full of antibiotics, pus and other crap. Growing up as a kid we drank milk that was free of that stuff. In the last 10 years I noticed an intolerance to milk. I would cramp up and generally feel bad. I switched to organic (the milk I grew up on) and all symptoms disappeared. I was really sad on the thought of not being able to drink milk and have my nightly bowl of cereal.
