That being said, maybe we do need a recovery month or maybe just a recovery weekend? After all, we did work hard last week with all our “Spring Cleansing,” right? hehe.
So go for it! I mean really, stop working this weekend. Step away from that overwhelming to do list just for a day. Relax, Rest, Slow down, and RECOVER.
I think the hubs does it well here…..haha!
I’m all about regaining this weekend. Regaining sleep, regaining time with my husband, regaining good nutrition to keep this body nourished! You in?
Maybe a little “Recovery” giveaway will tempt you? Those for me! Especially on a Friday.
Quick, what’s your go to recovery drink/smoothie? I know we all have one or maybe two favorites. I’d have to say that one of my favorites to use “on the go” recovery drinks would be HONEYMILK (aka Athletes Milk). I love the Coffee flavor and if I can’t get home to actually make a smoothie, I definitely throw one of these in the car with me.
Can you tell I still hadn’t showered post trail run? Ya, that would be a shiny forehead!
Anyway, let me give you the low down here……….
Nutritional Benefits of HoneyMilk
- High level of very high quality protein
- Low glycemic index
- Lactose-free (So glad too! no stomach distress for me!)
- 800mg (80% daily value) highly absorbable calcium

- Balanced mix of carbs and protein
Nature Meets Science:

So you want some? The good folks (Texas folks) are going to giveaway 3 cases. 3 cases!! That’s extremely generous, don’t ya think?

This makes me giggle because on Castle they tease on of the cops because he makes a nightly mug of milk and honey for his girlfriend (who they call Honey Milk). :)
Oh girl I am in such need of recovery right now myself. I've not tried the honey milk. I know you've posted about it several times.
really? thats too funny! I love that show too!

We are on a similar wavelength yet again, my friend. I'm all about recovery this weekend, recovering from germs, recovering from this "off" feeling I've since getting sick. Getting back to basic, back to me.
I'd love to try the HoneyMilk - especially the coffee flavor. Yum yum. Happy recovery weekend friend!
I think we all need a lake trip to recover. Sound good?
;)

Here here!! Recover and regroup. :) Let the river of milk and honey flow!
thanks to YOU this is one of my regular favorites!! Jason likes it too - I think being lactose free helps!
I definitely love to relax and recover with Jason on weekends - and we have that in the plans for sure, he has had a tough week. BUT... I am also energized today and I'm organizing, planning and cleaning. No blogging today (reading only!), goal setting for second quarter ( gaah - no longer an accountant but still plan like one!) :D
enjoy your recovery weekend! (I always love that tub photo!!)
oh how i wish i could drink milk! i miss it so!!!
not even lactose free?? Oh bummer, I really think you'd like it too!
;(

Great giveaway Lindsay and Honeymilk! Liked them on FB and gave you a shout out!
Oh, and after checking out their website, I'd love the vanilla or strawberry banana. That strawberry banana combo is great EVERY time!
Following on twitter!
So many flavors I love! I would probably prefer the Light Coffee one!
Tweeting now!
That is super generous of them! I am on a vanilla kick so I betcha that'd be amaaaazing. Off I go to Facebook =)
Ohhhhh the coffee flavor! Yum. What a fun giveaway! HoneyMilk's wall is getting full with Cotter Crunch lovers ;)
Happy Friday! I left a comment on HoneyMilk's FB page. We LOVE HoneyMilk. I love all of the flavors, but I have to say my fave is the Strawberry Banana! Delicious!
I liked them on Facebook. I love how your face looks fresh and YOUNG even after a run! Beautiful. :)
Posted on their wall on FB! :) I reeeeally need to get a Twitter ;-)
Oh, I also follow HoneyMilk on Twitter. :)
And, I'm totally with you on "recovering" this weekend! Love the definition you gave. Weekends are a big time for me & my hubs to "regain" quality time together. We usually go on a long run on Saturday mornings and then spend some time just hanging out & catching up. Our fave recovery smoothies usually have protein powder, Amazing Grass, frozen banana, cinnamon, and some fruit. Yum!
Hope you have an wonderful weekend & feel refreshed in every area you mentioned!

Shut the front DOOR, I would love to get my mitts on the honey flavor. I love honey. I even have candy with honey oozing from the inside of it. I make honey butter. Not kidding. The only one I wouldn't touch is the strawberry banana one. Just sounds way too sweet. But I'd share with the husband. I follow them on Twitter now, and commented/liked them on FB. :)
Hope you recover and rest your little heart away this weekend lady :D
Left a FB comment! I so need to recover...!

Excited about this giveaway - what a fun one and I would love to try the coffee flavor especially...sounds like a great recovery drink! I know my body needs more sleep, and I intend to listen to it tonight and sleep away. :D Recover well this weekend and have a good one.
Where in the world did April come from!! I am still waiting on the warm weather so it makes even harder to believe its April! Holla for recovery : ) Time to rest, relax and replenish for sure! Have a great wknd Linds!
Katie :)
HoneyMilk is awesome! I notice such as difference in my recovery when I drink one post-workout versus when I don't.
I love mixing flavors- like coffee and vanilla, or chocolate and coffee. I love the coffee flavor pre-workout too. What do you put in your smoothie that you make?
And I commented on the Facebook wall and follow HoneyMilk on Twitter. I'll use it after my workout tomorrow... and I'm also going to try ice baths this weekend... they are awful lol
Have an amazing weekend Lindsay!
youre waiting or it to warm up and I'm waiting for it to cool down. It was 92F
here yesterday. YIKeS!!! Hope you get some good recovery in too katie.
Cheers!
Lindsay

eeek, ice baths! Those are killer. they are okay when its already really hot
outside but when you are still cold from your outdoor workout, then are
miserable......................BUT THEY WORK!! Heat up the chocolate honey milk
and drink it like hot cocoa while your in your ice bath. BRILLIANT!
;)
Lindsay

oh I am excited. Hope you get to try it! Coffee flavor is delicious. Hope the
tour is going well and get some of those zzzz's this weekend!
Lindsay

Coffeee!!! You know I want the coffee one!!! BTW I told myself next winter, no marathon training! That will be my down/recovery time to do other things!
Hmm interesting. I don't take dairy though :(
I am definitely on the recovery bandwagon! It is so super important. Glad that you are emphasizing that :D
Oh, how much I wish I could stay away from work for a single weekend! But I have to finish the programming of my thesis study until the beginning of the next week, so I'm sitting inside in front of my laptop (with the most beautiful weather outside, gah), typing codes ... :( I'll include some recovery times in my day, though. This morning, I've already taken pictures of the flowers in the garden, I have half and hour of piano playing every now and then, and I'll for a walk or even a run later. And of course cooking and enjoying a nice meal can also be seen as recovery time. :)
Have a happy weekend!
I am thrilled for this giveaway! I was sent over from Hungry Runner Girl but I am so glad now I have another blog to stalk lol
I mentioned you on their facebook!
I also visited their page and it would be a toss up for me on the Chocolate (always my default flavor) or Coffee (where my rational mind always goes)
Honey milk is a totally cute name! Is it made by the muscle milk peeps? It looks like the same packaging... have a great weekend Mrs. Cotter!!
coffeeeee!!! all of them look wonderful, but anything coffee flavored is my favorite!
I've never had Honey Milk but the stats look incredible...can't wait to buy some. I just found your blog via Janae's and I'm so glad I did! Can't wait to read more!
Okeydokey, I liked them on FB and mentioned your blog.
I went to their website & would sell my eye teeth for the honey milk lite & coffee lite flavors.
I don't have a Twitter account :( so no love there!
I'm gonna recover today by going for a leisurely, just for fun bike ride along the coast!
wrote on their wall!
I want chocolate or vanilla!
oh yea! we all love janae. Such a great woman! And inspiring! I hope you get to
try the honeymilk too. Its quite delicious! cheers Emily.

You have gorgeous skin, girl!! Enjoy your weekend <3
Chocolate never fails... Yum!
I would definitely like to try coffee since I'm addicted to coffee itself ;)
Regaining and recovering is exactly what I am doing this weekend :-) I slept until 9 today and have not done much since...I am totally done with my Spring cleaning too (such a huge relief!)
The name Honey Milk is so intoxicating...that looks fabulous
Yeah! I'm always looking for a new recovery drink. I'd definitely try the Light, any flavor of that would do me good.
oh 9 hours sounds so good right now!! Good job girl. Happy Recovering!
Lindsay

I'm not entering the contest (I don't "do" Facebook), but I wanted to comment anyway! I love anything honey-flavoured, so I'm sure that this is tasty. I agree with you about the whirlwind of change that happens this time of year. I always find that Jan-Mar both flies by and craaaaaawls at the same time.
Like their page says...."mmmm, chocolate" lol.
Yep, that'd be the one for me, lol. I'm probably going to have to take even more steps to help my shin recover, as it has been in pain for almost two weeks now....also put that on their wall xP
oh sorry to hear about your shins. Ice, cross train, and maybe some new shoes?
And of course, the Chocolate Honey Milk!!!

I would love to try the Honey, Vanilla, or Chocolate! :)
I commented on the fb page
I can't decide which flavor I want to try! I'm thinking the chocolate or coffee sound the most intriguing. I do gluten free. Are they all gf?
Yes m'am! All GF! And I love both flavors. Sometimes I combine the 2 to make mocha. Yum!
Cheers,
Lindsay
oh they are perfect for post workout extra calories. Good to add to oatmeal and
cereal too! Hope you get to try them linz!

I tried the strawberry banana and lurved it. I keep hearing the coffee is good and has a kick to it. :) Would love to get three cases to try all the flavors
I got some at the CampGladiator session for the Run the Jailbreak a couple weekends ago and fell in love with the Strawberry Banana. I keep hearing the coffee is good too and has quite the kick. I didn't realize until today (when they announced they are one of the sponsors for the Texas Rowing Championships and I followed a bizarre link trail to find your site) that they are also a local company! I feel so wholesome and stuff. :)
I would love to try the coffee light flavor!! It sounds like it would be an ice cold latte! :) yum!
It is a perfect recovery drink! Hope you get to try it Tara!
good choice! Love that one too!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
The coffee light flavor looks awesome!
I wrote on their facebook about your giveawayyy
