recovery drinks

I understand the importance of recovery nutrition immediately following the ride and I have been looking at the many different recovery drinks available on the market. I also see that alot of riders enjoy chocolate milk as their recovery drink. My question is, because chocolate milk is far more easier to obtain, being found at every corner gas station, how much of a serving is usually consumed after the ride (oz., calories, carbs . . .)? And then how much longer after that is a meal taken in? Is there a better marketed cycling specific recovery drink? Thanks.
