3/10/2013 – from Janis I used to think that these recovery drinks were a gimmick. Laughed at my husband for wasting money on it and telling him it was a mental thing. I started an intense workout program and the fist 30days of it were leaving some what wore out and sore, but I was able to make it thru. I started the 2nd 30 days and 2 days in I was miserable. My husband mixed me up some tangerine cream the next morning I felt so much better, used it again and same result, so he proved me wrong. I am now a faithful user of Melissa’s mix. Have told all my friends about it and am ordering some for a friend. This stuff works! I was a non believer but no more! I look forward to completing my workouts just so I can have it. Thank you for putting out a mix for woman and our nutritional and calorie needs. I am gearing up to compete in my first 5K in June and 2nd one in July and 1 10K this Summer and Melissa’s mix will be by my side every step of the way.
1/22/2013 – from Ryuichi My name is SGT Ryuichi Matsushita and I wanted to thank you for your product. Its both highly effective and affordable. I personaly use the recovery formula and my buddies use the recovery formula and the whey protein. We have noticed significant results due to your products after our workouts and is instrumental in our training. I would love to help you promote your great product while im over seas and have been giving recommendations. Your new T shirts look awesome and is a great promotional tool. Thanks again for creating this product and have a great day.

I’ve always appreciated not only your product, but your personal customer service.
I had been in a recovery time period and recently increased my workouts/training. I once again realized the effectiveness of Mike’s Mix. I have a half marathon in my sites for 2012. I plan to have the chocolate mix part of that preparation.
Thanks again and have a good weekend.

So far the recovery drink is pretty great. I have exercised hard for about 6 days in a row now, and feel like I could easily exercise tonight after work. Keep up the good work.

Not sure if you monitor this address but, yeah, it’s my fourth order. I just completed P90X but am continuing with the workouts on only a slightly reduced pace and, since it was such an essential component to my success with P90X, I’ve decided to order more Mike’s Mix to help me in my continued physical development. I had never used a recovery drink before – I was really skeptical – but once I tried Mike’s Mix and noticed the complete lack of soreness the day after a hard P90X workout, I knew I had been wrong all those years. I used to work out hard then have to stop for a couple days to recover, making it hard to make much progress. Tired of being stuck in a semi out-of-shape rut, I decided to try something drastic and P90X was it. Their supplements were too expensive so I was looking for an alternative on Amazon when I found Mike’s Mix. It has essentially all the same ingredients as the P90X drink at about half the cost. I love the taste and wouldn’t consider working out hard if I didn’t have some of it on hand. Your customer service has been awesome too. I always get my order within a few days.
And I just placed a new order. So if you do happen to have some Mike’s Mix stickers already, please include a couple with the order. If you don’t have any, please have some made!
It is refreshing to see a company such as yours so caring about individual customers. Your service thus far has been nothing short of outstanding. Thank you for the personalized attention and I hope to be a customer for a long time to come!
A sincere thank you for helping me change my life. I WILL recommend your product to everyone who decides to make the change along side me.
I just ordered Instanity , want a drink mix and looked at reviews so thought give this a try. I will let you know how it works. thanks for reviews
Hello Crystal, Thanks for going with Mike’s Mix and I look forward to your feedback.
Mike
I am a long distance runner who has tried many products to improve my recovery both in time and in endurance.
I am inspired by the testimonials. I am eager to learn for myself the impact of your products.
Hey Mark, well I’m glad you happened to stumble upon Mike’s Mix. Make sure to leave your own testimonial to this page after you have had an opportunity to use the Mix. Your experience as a runner and a connoisseur of sports nutrition products would make your input very valuable.
Take Care,
Mike
Hey Mike,
I thought I would write my own testimonial since reading these prior to purchase was the most influential of my decision to ultimately go with Mikes’ Mix. I’ve been doing P90X for about a month now and Mike’s Mix really helps with the next day soreness. I’ve been playing rugby for the past 6 years and been competing Judo competitions for the past 14 years. Needless to say I’m no stranger to next day (or even week) soreness. Before starting the P90X program, I never took any post workout recovery supplements, or supplements of any kind for that matter following my workouts. I just got by with trying to eat well and if I was really sore, I took pain relievers.
For anyone that is familiar with the P90X program, they highly recommend the recovery drink following the workouts. Thinking I could get by with what I had been doing, I tried a couple without any recovery formula and it took me a week to fully get over the muscle soreness. That was after just one workout. Having to do 6 each week with no recovery formula would have been next to impossible, so I finally caved and started looking for alternatives to the P90X formula, mainly because of it’s exorbitant price. I did a lot of research before finally landing on Mike’s Mix, and I’m so glad I did. Most companies will advertise how important certain ingredients are and you really need a specific product to get the results you want. Not true. Mike’s Mix has the 4:1 carbs to protein ratio recommended for P90X and does wonders at half the cost of most of the recovery formulas out there and with only 4 ingredients.
So, for those of you on the fence about what kind of recovery formula to get, or if you need one at all (you really need one if you’re doing P90X, trust me), try Mike’s Mix. If you’re not use to working out or taking recovery formulas, let me be clear; it’s not a fix-all for post workout pains. Depending on what kind of workouts you’re doing, you may not end up completely pain free the next day, but if you workout hard it’s the difference between being able to walk the next day and not. Besides, there’s nothing greater than getting an excellent product for half the cost and supporting a small, family business. I just ordered the 8 pound bag of chocolate mix, which will last me twice as long and still cost less than the P90X formula would. Oh, and I don’t know if anyone else has tried this, but mixing and drinking the original flavor with warm water helps it dissolve and reminds me of a white hot chocolate. I’m hoping to start that trend.
Thanks again, Mike!
Hey Tristan, Thank you for supporting Mike’s Mix and posting such a wonderful review. I have also tried warm original (and chocolate) and agree, it is pretty good. I use very little water when I mix it this way and the flavor is rich and the texture is creamy. Best of luck with your Rugby, Judo, and P90X, sounds like you keep yourself busy.
Take Care,
Mike
Mike,
Just wanted to let you know how happy my husband and I are with your Mike’s Mix! I had wondered why I was sore and over fatigued after my P90X workouts even though I was using their Results and Recovery drink….. Well I have since ordered (again) Mike’s Mix in Chocolate and WOW!!! The difference is amazing!!! I will no longer use the former but will make sure that we use Mike’s Mix now and in the future! I am now doing Tapout XT and can’t wait to see how your product works in conjuction with that program.
Thanks again for making a product that we can all afford and get the results we want!!!!
Sincerely,
Bobbie
Hello Bobbie, thank you so much for the glowing testimonial. Best of luck with the Tapout XT program.

My family (husband, teenage son and myself) just completed day 30 of P90X. I’d read about your Mike’s Mix Recovery drink ‘somewhere’ in my research for the program and went ahead and purchased the 8 pound bag of chocolate. I’m back here getting ready to make another order. My son and I use the product faithfully after every workout. My husband is a type 1 diabetic and we discovered recovery mixes are not a good idea for him. (More for us!) Our favorite way to mix it is with 8 oz coffee, 2 scoops MIke’s Mix and 6 ice cubes, blended into a nice iced mocha. We have experienced very little fatigue or muscle soreness after the first few days of working out. Attribute much of that to your recovery mix. Thank you.

In June 2012, I rode my bike over 1,600 miles in 25 days to raise money for an orphanage in Uganda. I started training for this ride in March and found Mike’s Mix in May… and thank goodness I did. I noticed an instant difference during my training on the days I used the Mix vs. the days I did not. I decided to incorporate into my routine and used the product every day during my charity ride. I averaged between 75 and 85 miles a day while riding (I had 4 rest days scheduled throughout the entire ride). I did not experience muscle soreness or problems physically riding thanks to the Mix!
If you are planning to do any workout over 1 hour repeatedly, I would highly recommend you use this product (and make sure that you take within 30 minutes, it really does make a difference!).
Thanks Mike!
Mike! We’re still at it! As I order my 3rd large bag of Mike’s Mix, I think over the past few months that we’ve been slowly changing our lifestyle and remark that “We’re still doing this!’ Working out has become normal in a household of former couch potatoes! We continue to make adjustments in our daily lives to make sure we can incorporate a workout of some sort regardless of out of town trips, anniversary dinners (30 years last month!) and school beginnings. Our teenage son, Max, began his senior year last week and has added weight training to his schedule as an elective. He’s the only student in his class who completes his workout with a thermos full of frosty Mike’s Mix Recovery Drink! I feel like we have a secret that other kids in class should be partaking in. It’s totally changed my perspective on phys ed and the ‘grab a drink of water, shower and go back to your academic classes after an hour and a half long workout’ mentality. Recovery drinks should be a part of the program, don’t you think? So… let’s see… we’re on week 12 of P90X. We’ve had to repeat a week here and there due to a pulled hamstring and strained back, but have found it very easy to get back on the horse after laying low for a few days and not giving up! We’re going to give Doubles a try after we finish this first round. My husband looks fantastic! After breaking his tibia in a motorcycle accident 5 years ago, he’d not been able to get back into shape to run again. He’d given up on it cuz no matter what he did he couldn’t get rid of the pain behind his knee. He was out of town last week and his hotel room didn’t have a DVD player so he couldn’t do his normal P90X routine. On day 3 of not working out, he decided to give running a try again and ran 30 minutes on the hotel’s rooftop track as he watched the sun rise over Atlanta. He was thrilled!! Apparently all the yoga and Kenpo and Plyometrics and other exercises have strengthened the muscles and stretched the ligaments that were holding his running hostage, and he never experienced any pain during or after his workout! I have lost 20-something pounds and gained much motivation! I’m not svelte yet, as I started out 100 pounds overweight, but I now know I’ll be there eventually! My measurement of success is things like ‘Wow!! I can do pushups without being on my knees!!” and “I can feel my abs!!” My type 2 diabetes is totally under control. My blood pressure is great! I can’t wait to see my doctors face when he sees me in November. He gave his blessing for me to start P90X back in May, but I know he doesn’t expect me to come back 6 months later having been successful at it. He’s been my doctor 10 years and I’m now lower in weight and healthier than he’s ever seen me. I wake up thinking about maybe running one day….maybe I’ll do a half marathon… maybe… those are thoughts I’ve NEVER had before! The greatest thing that’s happened on our journey to better fitness has been passing it on to the next generation. Yesterday morning, as we were eating breakfast with our 4 year old grandson, who has had to give up McDonalds lunches, candy and sugary cereals when he’s at grandmas house every Friday/Saturday, says, “My daddy has to stop eating cowbs.” and I said, “Cobs, like corn on the cob?” and he said, “Noooo, cowbs like bwead! Cuz he’s exowsizing now! I tell him he has to eat mow pwoteen.” And we still swear by Mike’s Mix Recovery Drink after every workout! It’s amazing what a difference it makes! Thanks, Mike!! We love ya!

Hi Lisa,
Wow! Many congratulations to you and your family! It sounds like all the hard work has been paying off and I can’t tell you how wonderful that is to read. Thank you so much for the update and kind words.

Hey Mike,
I just wanted to add my glowing testimonial of your product to all the others. A little while ago I wrote your praising your product, (and I still do), but the batch I’d received seemed a little “off” to me. Same great taste and effectiveness, but the texture was off. I wrote the email as not a complaint, but an FYI and left it at that. You responded to the email and offered to resolve the problem which I found both surprising and awesome. Great customer service is almost a thing of the past these days.
Anyway you replaced the tub with one that was your “usual” great product and Today I’m ordering another batch because I’m out. I think there are many companies today who could learn a thing or two from you about how to not only make a great product, but how to give and maintain great customer service. Lastly, Mike’s Mix has given me the edge I need (lack of soreness for one), to take my body to the new level of fitness. I just completed P90X and Insanity and now I’m doing a hybrid version of both, plus running.
Thanks
Cleo
