• 2x Scoops Gatorade powder (normal dilution)
  • An alternative is to use 1 scoop of Gatorade and the equal weight of Maltodextrose (AKA Maltodextrin), which is more easily absorbed and much cheaper. I get mine at http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/maltodextrin50lb.aspx for less than $1 per pound.
• 6x Tablespoons Protein Powder (Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard - Vanilla Flavor)
• Optional - 1x Tablespoons BCAA Powder (5g)
• Optional - 1x Teaspoon Glutamine Powder (5g)
• Half Teaspoon Salt

• Water to Two Quarts
