So, if you are part of the Crossfit community you’ve probably already heard of Progenex and refer to it lovingly as The Sauce (btw, you can use the hashtag #TheSauce to look it up on Twitter). I’ve been aware of it for awhile but it wasn’t until I saw their recent blog post pertaining to Crossfitter Rich Froning, “2011 CrossFit Games Winner Rich Froning Jr on a Shockingly Simple Diet”, that I decided to give it a try.
Enter Progenex Recovery. Belgian Chocolate. A 30-day supply. To be fair, I’ve only been using it for a few days so you’ll only get my initial reactions. First: It’s delicious. I’ve had it by itself with water and stirred with a spoon and I’ve had it blended in my Blendtec with a banana & peanut butter (love this combination). I should add that Progenex recovery does contain a few extra carbs than most protein shakes but not by much.
The biggest drawback is the price. $59.95 for 30 servings which is roughly $2.00 a serving which can add up on a monthly basis if you are drinking more than one a day. But, like they say, you get what you pay for.
Also, I really like the folks who run the company. They have a great social media presence on Twitter and Facebook and are always happy to answer a question and join in the community of fitness enthusiasts.
This will definitely be my goto protein drink from now on.
