For those of you who workout in the morning, what works for you as a recovery meal/snack? I had been swimming every-other-day (because I needed the rest), but I feel more conditioned now and have just about worked up to swimming every day. I am interested to see what other people eat for recovery after a hard workout. (For me, it's wheat toast or a wheat bagel and peanut butter, but I'm sure there's something better out there.)
Thanks!

There is some great scientific data that shows chocolate milk is an excellent post exercise recovery food.

I have heard this too. Unfortunately, I'm not somebody who takes to drinking milk (even milk of the chocolate variety). Especially after a workout.
:eeew:
That's just me though. I'm sure it works for other people! :)
