I agree that low fat chocolate milk is an excellent recovery drink.

Got any of that pizza left? It'd fit nicely.

All of the above are great suggestions--anything with protein. Here's a study to back up the chocolate milk suggestions

Runner's World says the best post-run snack is chocoate milk. I drink a chocolate slim fast. Either are good and go down smooth when they're nice and cold!

I do a protein shake with skim milk. Cheers!
