I am looking for a suggestions on nutritional suppliments after my workouts. High carbo, High protein? I swim in the morning 3 days/wk, weights 2 days/wk. I eat a whole grain cereal before my workout. Does anyone suggest one of those protein or cabo drinks that are highly advertised, I never trust those adds. I was thinking some sort of protein supplement, but I don't need to bulk up my muscles, as I am a swimmer not a muscle head. I just want some sort of muscle recovery supplement. I go straight to work after my workouts, so I need something "on the go".
Any suggestions?

I like to take 6 or 7 dried apricot halves and a handfull of almonds or unsalted cashews in a small container for an after swim snack (weekend long swim only - don't need one for a 35 min. workday swim). I figure the nuts take care of the protein and mineral replenishment, and the apricots take care of the carbohydrates. Never had any problem digesting this, and it's small and portable. If I were allergic to nuts, a piece of low fat cheese or meat would probably do.
