Discover a lighter, more refreshing way to recover from intense training or hot outdoor exercise session with this Recovery Granita Drink recipe.
Transforms your usual Biogen Complete 9 Aminos drink into a cool, icy treat that feels like a slushie, without added sugar or unnecessary calories.
Ingredients
Biogen Complete 9 Aminos has been formulated with BCAAs at a 2:1:1 ratio and 6 EAAs, at levels which may assist with muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair and recovery post exercise. With the addition of Coconut Water Powder, Biogen Complete 9 Aminos is the ideal product for anyone looking to optimise their training with a simple, great tasting, low sugar drink that also replenishes electrolytes.
Instructions
- In a bowl or jug, mix the Biogen Complete 9 Aminos with water until fully dissolved.

- Place in the freezer.
- After about 45–60 minutes, use a fork to scrape and crush the forming ice crystals.
- Return to the freezer and repeat the scraping process once or twice more until you achieve a light, fluffy granita texture.
- Spoon into glasses and serve immediately.
