recovery drinks when to drink

Options
I am really new to fitness and the gym. Just turned 30 and feel its time to do something. Actually I am not that out of shape.
I am running around 3 miles and rowing 2000m in the gym.

Today I decided to have a recovery drink. I felt a bit sick after. Then I thought, do I actually need a recovery drink after that workout?

Now I want dinner as its late, but that would be like having 2 dinners? All those calories I burnt off are now back on and more?

What do you think?

    your recovery drink should not be as many calories as your dinner...mine is about 150 calories.
