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 have also tried the starbucks vivano chocolate banana, protein powder blend with no fat milk. I like it but there are two draw backs; The first is putting an ice cold on an empty stomach can be be painful - so it gets mixed with a low fat (not low cal) muffin, and the second is that believe it or not, there are places in the universe without a Starbucks.
Very funny, and yes I agree. I was traveling in some parts of rural New Mexico last week, and Starbucks were a tough find. Even in Taos, where I would have expected one, nada. I did find a nice local coffee shop in Raton, and the drink was fantastic (sometimes it seems Starbucks relies too heavily on their mixes).
I just got an iPhone last week, and there's a mapping program with add-ons....one has a Starbucks locator. It finds where you're at, and maps out any nearby Starbucks locations (but gave me the error in those places without one).
