It is best to have a shake within 20 minutes of stopping your exercise. It should have 15 or 20 grams of high quality protein (such as whey) and about 40 or 50 grams of high glycemic index carbs to transport the protein to your muscles. Be sure to drink plenty of water, too.

Why is Gatorade a recovery drink after exercise?

Gatorade is NOT a "Recovery Drink" It is a hydration product that also delivers carbohydrates during exercise. Gatorade's functionality is best described as a "Hydrator" and should be used as such. The electrolytes (sodium and potassium) are important to keep the body hydrated during exercise, the carbohydrates are important for increasing blood sugar which the body burns as energy. A proper "Recovery" drink will include carbohydrates, protein, electrolytes, and select amino acids. The purpose of the "Recovery" drink is to not simply replace fluid, but also replenish vital nutrients and prepare the body to restore muscle starch stores (glycogen) and repair muscle tissue damaged during activity. Gatorade is best used before and during training, while recovery drinks (Endurox, Recoverite, and Fluid Recovery Drink) are designed to be used after exercise.
