Curious if anyone has any preferences for post-workout recovery drinks. We've been using AfterGlow. Not bad, just wondering what else is out there and what some opinions might be.

I just drink some Gold Standard Whey Protein with water after I'm done working out ... good stuff.
Actually, did anyone here ever read how Michael Jordan used to drink 4 or 5 beers after games to quickly rehydrate?
Cardio or weights workout? When I do really long runs, I drink a ton of water and then eat something like a banana and some cottage cheese. When I used to lift a lot more, I drank a Optimum Nutrition whey protein shake.
I do a lot of bicycle riding, time trials, etc. Chocolate milk is the way to go. It's a lot cheaper than the high priced recovery drinks.
Optimum Whey Protein Classic, 2lbs, 18.99. You can get it at Hy Vee even. Don't get Strawberry, horrible.

I'm not even close to kidding, here. I usually drink a beer after I work out, and the results are amazing.
I use GNC's Whey Protein shakes for my recovery drink.
My brother-in-law also uses GNC's "Black Powder" before he works out that is supposed to aid in recovery even before you start working out. I'm thinking about adding that to my regimen.
