Here's a good recovery shake for anybody like me, that likes to do their workouts late at night, just a few hours before going to bed,
1 Banana
4 tbsp Hemp protein/fiber mix (available for like $15)
2 tbsp Ground flax seed
1.5 cup of milk (subsitute almond milk if you're looking to avoid excess carbs)
It's a good ratio of carbs : protein (about 2.5:1) for recovery, and it contains about 50% of the daily recommended amount of fiber (which is something about 95% of North Americans don't get). There are about 476 calories in it, so you'll have to fit it in accordingly. I tend to have a pretty small dinner (about 250 calories) so it fits in with my plan.
