What are some good after workout shakes or powder, etc that you like for recovering after an intense workout. I played 4 hours of competitive volleyball last night and felt great but when I got home I was exhausted and starving. Unfortunetly I stood in my kitchen so confused about what to eat that I just went to bed and today I can feel the effects of that decision. What would you recommend? Preferably something I can get at the store and don't have to order online.

    Odwalla has several decent protein shakes.....if I know I cant get right home or out and eat within a half hour after a work out, I usually will grab one of those. They definitely help me feel better until I can get a proper meal in.

    Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Chocolate Malt off of amazon. It is the best and will fuel those muscles :) If you did decide to order online that is.

    I use eload endurance formula, I buy it at popeye's. It is the most effective I have used and it does not leave a "chemical" taste. When you plan a long workout you can mix it with your water and sip it during and after. I find it makes a huge difference!

    fun fact: I actually did drink chocolate milk this morning. I was feeling terrible this morning and just reached for it in the gas station.

    chocolate milk...protein, a little fat, electrolytes, and a little carbs and it tastes good.
