Train Smarter: The Herbalife Sports Range (Featuring Ronaldo’s CR7 Performance Line)

The Herbalife sports range is built around one principle: give your body what it needs before, during, and after training. This guide covers every product in the range, when to use it, and how it fits into a structured training routine.

Quick answer: the Herbalife sports range covers four key training windows — hydration during training (CR7 Drive), protein during training (H30 Pro), additional protein any time (Protein Drink Mix), and post-workout recovery (Rebuild Strength). You do not need all four — choose based on your training type and goals.

The four training windows and which product covers each

Training window Product What it does Who needs it
During training — hydration CR7 Drive Electrolytes + carbohydrates to maintain performance and hydration during exercise Anyone training 45+ minutes, especially cardio or team sports
During training — protein H30 Pro Protein + electrolytes during training to reduce muscle breakdown Endurance athletes, long training sessions
Any time — protein top-up Protein Drink Mix 15g protein per serving, mixes with Formula 1 or water Anyone not hitting daily protein targets from food alone
Post-workout — recovery Rebuild Strength 24g protein + 6g BCAAs + carbohydrates within 30 minutes of training Resistance training, anyone focused on muscle recovery

CR7 Drive — Cristiano Ronaldo’s hydration formula

CR7 Drive (£29.96) is the sports drink developed with Cristiano Ronaldo as part of the CR7 performance line. It provides electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) and carbohydrates to maintain hydration and energy during training. Unlike standard sports drinks, it is lower in sugar and designed to be consumed during exercise rather than as a general drink.

Use it during training sessions lasting 45 minutes or more. Mix one scoop with 500ml cold water and sip throughout your session. It is particularly effective for cardio, team sports, and any training where you sweat significantly.

Protein Drink Mix — the everyday protein booster

Protein Drink Mix (£30.96) provides 15g protein per serving and is designed to be added to your Formula 1 shake or mixed with water as a standalone protein drink. It is the most versatile product in the sports range — useful for anyone who is not hitting their daily protein target from food alone, regardless of whether they train.

The standard recommendation is 1.6–2.2g protein per kg of bodyweight per day for people who train. For a 75kg person, that is 120–165g protein per day. Most people eating a normal diet get 60–80g. Adding PDM to your Formula 1 shake closes a significant part of that gap.

Which products do you actually need?

If you do resistance training

Protein Drink Mix (added to your Formula 1 shake daily) + Rebuild Strength (post-workout, training days only). These two products address the two most important factors for resistance training results: daily protein intake and post-workout recovery.

If you do cardio or team sports

CR7 Drive (during training) + Protein Drink Mix (daily). Hydration and electrolyte replacement during training, plus adequate daily protein to support recovery. Rebuild Strength is optional but beneficial if sessions are intense.

If you do endurance training

H30 Pro (during long sessions) + CR7 Drive (shorter sessions) + Rebuild Strength (post-session). Endurance training has the highest nutritional demands — protein during training, electrolytes throughout, and rapid recovery after.

If you are just starting out

Protein Drink Mix added to your Formula 1 shake is the single most impactful addition. Get your daily protein right before adding training-specific products. Most beginners are significantly under-eating protein, which limits results regardless of training quality.
