what's a good post workout drink?

[organizedconfusion]

i am a cheapo and only can get a hold of juice..if so,what is best? i heard grape increases insulin the most and is less acidic then say -OJ. i am thinking grape juice,tropical punch or V-8 fruit mix and then eating some eggs about 20 minutes later...
what do you guys use and reccomend?

32 grams of protein and 40+ grams of simple carbs

I go with a protein shake and a good size peanut butter and jelly sammich or/and banana

that sounds pretty good actually! i usually am hungry after a good workout anyways..juice never fills me up,but it gives me the sugars i need..

At my old gym in Northwood outside London, they had a full service bar. Judging off of what people were drinking, I'd say Guinness. I used to drink it as a meal replacement after swim practice.

Don't do what I did.

How about salmon burger w/2 slices wheat and protein shake? Is that ok?

Immediately post workout (as in, before even driving home), drink a dextrose/maltodextrine powder drink such as Ultrafuel. Within an hour, eat a large meal with lots of protein.
