If you decide to use a recovery drink but are worried about your pH impact, you can make one at home without any fillers or chemicals. Mix six ounces of fresh squeezed fruit juice (carbohydrates) with a scoop of whey protein powder (protein) and you have a pH balanced recovery drink. Just be sure to drink it within two hours following the exercise session, as this is when your body is primed to shuttle the nutrients to your warm muscles.
