I've heard/read from several reputable sources that low fat chocolate milk is a perfect post workout drink....better than protein shakes.

definately chocolate milk is a go. This is one time you dont have to feel guilty about it!

How long is a "long run"? you may want to consider electrolyte drinks (like gatorade) if you have been running longer than 90 minutes.

I add egg white to my smoothies!!! It adds some protein and gets frothy in the blender! Most prepackaged egg whites are pasteurized and perfectly safe to drink, just make sure to read the labels and double check! Then some frozen fruit, yogurt and juice/milk/water all in the blender!!
