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!

Usually eat a Balance Gold bar as soon as I get to my car, when I'm driving away.
A few times a week, I'll go to Starbucks with some folks after swimming. I'll get either a nonfat banana-chocolate Vivano w/a shot or a venti black tea (no water no classic). Sometimes also one of the egg sandwiches (turkey bacon is good).
If I don't go to Starbucks, I keep a few Shamrock milk drinks in my fridge at the office, they are Mocha w/nonfat milk. I'll put in a scoop of whey protein with that.
Generally I snack throughout the morning, healthy stuff. Nuts, peanuts, nut cluster things, granola mixed with protein cereal.
I try to avoid carbs, especially sugars, and eat more protein. Although I may be hungry, I don't want to gain extra weight.
