Not every good Sea Otter Classic find has two wheels.

Mixed in with the usual flood of shiny bikes and sunscreen-slathered cyclists was a new recovery mix option from Untapped. The new recovery lineup takes the brand’s maple-first nutrition approach and carries it into the post-ride part of the day.

If you already know Untapped, this move makes a lot of sense. The Vermont brand has built its name on maple-based fueling, and its recovery category keeps that same real-food lane. Right now, the lineup is simple: a standard Recovery Drink Mix and a Vegan Recovery Drink Mix, with both products listed at $39.95. 

What’s In It?

The standard Recovery Drink Mix is built around maple sugar, nonfat milk powder, whole milk powder, dried egg whites, and sea salt. Flavors include Maple, Cocoa, and Strawberry. UnTapped says the mix is designed to “refuel and repair” but made from real food without flavorings, additives, or ultra-processed ingredients. The maple sugar handles the fuel side, while the milk and egg whites help with muscle repair and rebuilding. 

The Vegan Recovery Drink Mix follows the same basic playbook, but swaps in oat milk powder and hemp heart protein alongside maple sugar and sea salt. It also comes in Maple, Cocoa, and Strawberry. For the vegan mix, the oat milk and maple sugar are the fuel, with hemp heart protein handling the muscle-repair side. 

Hit The Numbers

The standard mix is sold in an 8-serving container with a listed serving size of 2 scoops (50 grams). In the Maple version, Untapped lists 200 calories, 34 grams of carbs, 33 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, 250mg of sodium, and 420mg of potassium per serving.  Nothing crazy or groundbreaking, but solid and easy to get in after a race effort.

The vegan Maple version also comes in 8 servings at 2 scoops / 50 grams per serving, but shifts the numbers slightly to 200 calories, 37 grams of carbs, 30 grams of sugar, 9 grams of protein, 250mg of sodium, and 330mg of potassium.

How does it taste? The most important question, and after sampling all the vegan flavors, I can say without a doubt, very good. The taste is subtle, with a hint of maple and a very palatable flavor. I’m in!
