    Chocolate milk!

    Perfect balance of carbs and protein to aid recovery.

    This is true but I prefer whole foods. You don't need a shake right after you workout. Sometimes, I usually have a whole meal within 45 minutes of training.

    Protein shake and some carb. I usually eat 3-5 ounces of sweet potato with my dinner (within an 1 hr of my workout)
