If you want (not needed for recovery, but good for you), add a couple tablespoons of ground flaxseed- golden is best for this, as the brown has a stronger flavor.

That sounds tasty, thanks for the recipe.

Banana's good energy giver.But if you wanna recover from illnesses such as colds, go for fruits rich in vitamin C. Oranges would do it.

you're getting into something very relevant and complex.

However, -
the good old mainstay I would recommend is dates (Deglet Noor, the most common) These will restore you to a perhaps unexpected level.

Within 30 minutes after workouts, right after I take off my chamois, but before I shower, I have a big bowl of granola, non fat yogurt and cut up bananas. The granola and yogurt can get old pretty fast and the banana helps to break that up. It's important to eat right after a ride, because at that time your body is capable of absorbing several times more protein, carbohydrates and fat than at any other time. This helps a lot with recovery, as your muscles get what they need to begin the healing process very quickly.

Bananas don't digest quickly unless they are a little over ripe. Therefore to get the goodness of fruits into your system quickly, citrus are the fastest. Take your banana after the orange (fresh juice).

Well, banana is probably best, but in the summer I do find it hard to resist a huge slice of chilled watermelon in the middle of the afternoon. That makes me very, very happy.
