Tailwind Rebuild is based on a patent-pending mathematical model that enables us to build a complete protein in a very efficient way starting with organic rice protein and supplementing it with amino acids. This is important because only complete protein is used for recovery. It turns out that the total amount of protein that you see on a nutrition label doesn't really mean anything when it comes to recovery because only a portion of that protein is complete; the rest is incomplete. That's why the carbohydrate to protein ratio doesn't really mean a lot but the amounts of carbohydrates and complete protein do. To put things in perspective, you need to drink 2x as much chocolate milk and 3x more of other recovery drinks in order to match the complete protein found in Tailwind Rebuild.

The flavor is fine. I feel like the more I drink the better it gets which is the opposite of most protein drinks that I struggle to finish. The chocolate is not quite as good as the vanilla flavor in my opinion and I am normally one to prefer chocolate over most other flavors. I can definitely tell a difference about how I feel during my run the next day when drinking the recovery mix compared to when I don’t. I feel somewhat sore a lot of days, but the day after drinking the recovery mix isn’t quite so bad. Tailwind customer service is the best part of the company, there may be better products out there, but I’ll stick with Tailwind because I know if I have any issues they will be resolved to my satisfaction.

I ordered the Starter Kit because I am training for my first marathon and I wasnt sure what I would like. So far I am loving Tailwind products. I have since gone and ordered the Recovery Mix as well. I have a very sensitive stomach and the endurance packs have not bothered me at all. The flavor is mild and also mildly sweet, which I appreciate, not a huge fan of over powering flavors on runs. The Recovery Mix is my new favorite thing, its refreshing, taste amazing and mixes really well with just water. After a long hot run its a perfect way to finish off. The endurance packets have definitely helped me through some of my super long runs, giving me that extra boost when I need it most. Very happy first time customer!

Am female, 118 lbs, 5’7”. Have a history of jitters when competing; can’t eat. Nothing seems to work. Calorie deficit all time. Able to consume products; do not throw up. Recommend dose too strong; split small bag into half; consume about tablespoon of product with water, ice. Not ideal, but works. Dont puke. When not competing, blend about tablespoon into almond milk. It’s hot here which does not help intestinal system jitters.When kayaking or cycling,put into plastic bottle with ice water,Or make night before and freeze. By time i compete, refreshing chunky icy beverage.

Having dedicated to push my limits and set new PR's in the 5k and Half-Marathon this year, the Tailwind Rebuild Recovery Mix has quickly become a constant in my post-workout routine. Having tried the started pack, I then purchased a bag of vanilla flavour for home and a convenient single serving 12 pack of chocolate for when I'm on my travels.The chocolate variant is rich, velvety, and downright delicious. I mix with either water or milk or even added to a cup of coffee. Best taken within 45 of exercise it helps with recovery, with no affect on my stomach or weird aftertaste...it feels like indulging in a post run treat rather than a recovery drink! : )
Quick and easy purchase/delivery and so yummy. My favorite is chocolate. It mixes so easily with water. I often have a long drive home after a run or workout and this recovery drink is perfect at helping me get the refueling I need before I can get home and make a proper meal. I first tasted it before I “needed” it and it seemed salty to me. However, it has never tasted salty after a workout. I crave the flavor towards the end of a workout when I know I have some waiting. Highly recommend!
I am pleasantly surprised by the chocolate recovery mix. And it's so easy, mixing with water. Grateful for discovering this as I've traveled internationally to compete and haven't had adequate post race nutrition. This makes everything so much easier.I am 55 and still competitive. Still working on improving and always looking for ways to improve my nutrition beyond food. I've been vegan for 17 years and still going strong (thanks to occasional PT!)My only recommendation is change the color of the font on the package. It is nearly impossible foe me to read. White font ideal.
I tried 3 different flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel. I'm going to review these in order of greatnessSalted Caramel -I have to admit I was skeptical. I'm not someone who really likes Caramel. Don't hate it but don't love it. Oh boy! This flavor is amazing! The smell when mixing is intoxicating. The taste is creamy and smooth. Most important: no aftertaste. Definitely my favorite of these 3.Vanilla -Vanilla is a flavor that very companies can get right. Tailwind clearly like a challenge. It's a success for Tailwind that this Vanilla flavor is meh. If you're not looking for something overpowering that you can just take and forget about it. Not have it ruin your taste buds then Vanilla will work for you.Chocolate -Chocolate is the typical "safety" ... MoreI tried 3 different flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel.

Everyone likes Chocolate! This Chocolate isn't Godiva or Hersey's chocolate. It is more that raw and organic kind you would get: it tastes more like dirt than chocolate. Kind of grimy texture. If that's your thing then you'll love it. If not, then avoid.
I am not an endurance athlete, I'm an active mom dealing with chronic dehydration and low energy. Water and food never seem to help with post-hike/run/workout recovery. But Tailwind is a game changer! I feel well-hydrated and energized after drinking it without feeling full or sluggish. And did I mention zero GI issues?! Every other hydration and protein drink I've tried causes bloating and discomfort. Not Tailwind! I highly recommend this product for active moms.
I'm a runner. I have only used Tailwind twice. I'm love vanilla and I'm used to the vanilla flavor of ON Gold Standard whey protein. Tailwind vanilla recovery mix tastes weird, it's kind of 'nutty' leaning towards a 'raw' vanilla bean, instead of an 'ice cream vanilla' flavor that I like better. I guess it's a matter of time before I get used to it. Not a biggie, though. Anyway, I have only used it twice after two long runs, and I think it's a great product for what it is: recovery. As of now, I can't give it 5 stars, because I need to use it for at least 2 or 3 months before I make it part of my regular running routine.
This recovery mix is versatile and easy to use. I carry it with me as a trustworthy food and nutrient source for my long hikes and ultraruns. It mixes easily, and stays appetizing even after hours in a flask... in the heat! It concentrates well, which is wonderful for carrying a lot with less weight. The digestability is superb, as well, and causes no problems at all even under heavy, long, and high-heat exertion.The Vanilla flavor is fun because I can throw anything else in with it if I want to change things up and it still tastes great. Mixes great with other flavors of Recovery or Endurance from Tailwind. Yummy!
