Post Ride supplements recommendation
For rides going for about 2hrs, what do you guys recommend to use? I know I would want something high in carbs and protein for muscle recovery and restore my glycogen depot. I've been looking at Honey Milk, Herbalife 24, and gatorade pro recovery shake. I'm still a bit lost on what I should be looking for.

2 hours? Just eat whatever you normally eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I wouldn't think you'd need much more for a ride that short.
If you're really hungry, maybe make a chicken sandwich.

Your subject of 'supplements' made me think you were asking about 'supplements', not primary recovery drinks.
Lots of recovery drinks out there in the roughly 4:1 carb
rotein ratio. I'm a fan of Hammer's Recoverite myself. Honey Milk seemed so expensive, whereas the powdered stuff is easier to store/dispense/use IMHO.

I like Hammer Recoverite but a simple whey protein powder works too and is a lot cheaper..

depends hugely on how many calories you're burning...
but for me, an Ensure is always the first thing I grab after a ride. even a recovery ride where I may only burn 4-500kj. the vanilla is ridiculously delicious when it's really cold.
