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 tried this a few times after practice and I felt really good. I did read the chocolate milk/recovery post somewhere on this forum a while back, so I thought I'd give it a try. I don't drink it immediately. I wait a bit until I've relaxed after working out.
A good ol' whole grain bagel and light plain cream cheese from Panera is pretty darn good too.
