Favorite recovery foods?
Since it's now the time of year when I am pretty much always either recovering from something or doing something that I'll need to recover from afterward, I bet it's that time of year for a lot of y'all, too. Got any favorites? What do you crave after long rides?
For me, it's often beer (IPA!!), sausage, eggs, steak, olives, watermelon, any fruit that isn't a banana, and any other tasty food that you can't eat out of a handlebar bag or buy in a convenience store. Fresh homegrown tomatoes with unfiltered olive oil and salt and pepper.
How 'bout you?

I follow a processed-free diet (very similar to paleo) and I have found that hard-boiled eggs and fresh fruit to be my go-to foods.

Fresh vegetables (especially cucumbers and avocados) and something spicy. The latter I think is partly because, if everything goes well, I end a little dehydrated but not enough to actually like drinking plain water; spicy food makes me guzzle enough to get everything back in order. I don't tend to like beer after rides, but once I'm rehydrated a margarita goes down nicely, and tacos often have the right balance of protein and fresh vegetables. Or a curry of some sort.

A banana and a cold Lagunitas IPA. Then I'll follow it up with dinner centered around 6oz lean protein/veg/salad.
