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!

I like chocolate milk, although some brands make me feel ill for the first half hour after drinking them. Recently the 7-11 near the pool has been stocking a brand called "Swiss Miss" which is rich, smooth and delicious. Otherwise I drink "Ovaltine".
Did any of you ever sing this when you were teenagers?
(To the tune of Hark the Herald Angels Sing):
Uncle George and Auntie Mabel
fainted at the breakfast table.
This should be sufficient warning
not to do it in the morning.
Ovaltine has set them right.
Now they do it in the night.
Uncle George is hoping soon
to do it in the afternoon. (x2)
