On the bike: 8 grams honey + 1 pinch of salt to 22 oz of water. Keeps you hydrated better than water alone, and it's not the sugar-bomb that most sports drinks are (not to mention over-priced).
After the ride: Mike's Mix Protein First recovery drink. It's all natural; all the carbs are low glycemic index (i.e. don't spike your blood sugar) and it has a relatively low carbs-to-protein ratio (I prefer a lower-carb diet, and most recovery drinks have a crazy amount of carbs). I also weight lift 5 days a week and find this helps my recovery.

So sometimes I drink a protein shake after a ride. It's yummy. It may not be beneficial, but it does no harm. And it's yummy.

You live in the midwest within miles of fresh water sources. We have table water mixed with runoff water in reservoirs. Bottled water will do for trips since the Brita stuff is for sipping around the house.
