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!

And I eat nearly all of them but never over indulge.
I think if you're going to go around telling people that bananas will give you an arrhythmia, you should make sure you tell them that unless you have kidney problems, diabetes, or eat extremely potassium-rich foods, a banana will NOT have any negative effect on your body, and will actually help you.
If you're going to worry about bananas, you should worry about the following:
Papaya (781mg)
Prune juice (707mg/cup)
Cubed cantaloupe (494mg/cup)
Diced honeydew melon (461mg)
Raisins (1089mg/cup)
Mango (323mg)
Small oranges (237mg) or orange juice (472mg/cup)
Peaches (193mg)
Watermelon (176mg/cup)
Apples (159mg) or apple juice (254mg/cup)
Tomato juice (535mg/cup) or chopped or sliced tomato (400mg)
Baked sweet potatoes (508mg)
Potatoes (844mg)
Soy milk (345mg/cup)
Three ounces of baked or broiled salmon (319mg)
Three ounces of roasted turkey, dark meat (259mg)
Two tablespoons of peanut butter (214mg)
You get the idea? There are nine things in there that have more potassium than bananas (422mg).
