While it's important to eat protein and carbs after a workout to help muscle recovery... I'm becoming tired of the the same ol' PB on wheat and I'm looking for some suggestions.. What's your favorite post-workout snack?

I have a post work out shake ASAP after training then follow that up with a small low GI meal about 1-1.5 hours after that.
whey protein, banana
PB sandwiches are hardly a protein source.
Try chocolate milk. Delicious, clinically proven and you can buy it cold everywhere.

There are plent of options available. Although the chocolate milk does rule. I just buy one single serving when I'm done working out, but I'm able to do that.
I agree with this, chocolate milk with protein mixed in should be your first 'meal' after your workout. Within 30 minutes. Then an hour to hour and a half later have a whole food meal, dont be afraid of some carbs in there either, you just burned up alot working out and your body can use them. Later.
Built, I was discussing this topic yesterday with a fellow IM member and he recommended soy milk with gound oats and 1 tsp of dextrose (if any).
What are your thoughts on the necessity of an insulin spike PWO?
I have been using whey,maltodextrin,LF milk and organic cocoa (with various supps) but apparently there are better alternatives.
I was advised to quiz you about it so I may aswell post my question in this thread.

Low fat chocolate milk and low fat poptarts ftw.
Try and limit your fats pwo. PB is a fat. Not a complete protein.

On the weekend I fix a "cake" that last me all week. Here is the recipe I developed:
1) 2 cups Bran
2) 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
3) 1 cup Thick Oats
4) 2 teaspoons baking soda
5) 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
6) 1 teaspoon nut meg
7) 2 teaspoons cinnamin
8) 1/2 cup stevia
9) add 2 cups dried fruit - blueberries and cranberry is my favorite
10) 100 grams no carb vanilla protein
11) 1 can pumpkin
12) bag of walnuts
13) 1 cup olive oil
14) 1 carton egg beaters
15) almond milk - add until mixture is still pretty thick but not runny - about 2 cups
pour mixture into large oblong cake pan and bake at 325F on convection for 50 mins.
This is very satisfying, taste so good its hard to believe its actually healthy! This last my family all week.

I'd avoid soy, since it tends to promote estrogen and can compete with the thyroid for iodine. PWO the insulin spike can be useful, but is overrated. If your pwo drink agrees with you, it sounds perfect. If you find you have a hard time with the carbs, drop 'em back. This part seems to be very individual, although the research supports your approach for sure. I'd add creatine in that pwo drink of yours - which you probably do as well.
PB is peanut butter. It's a wonderful fat-source, but as Silver Back mentioned, not much of a protein source, not on its own anyway and not so great for post workout, because of the low protein and high fat content.What is "PB"? Not peanut butter I hope

whey protein 2 scoops, creatine 1 scoop, 4 raw eggs, cup of yogurt, fruit, peanut butter and whole milk. Blend and enjoy with a nice dinner of chicken breast, rice or pasta and veggie.

Low fat pop tarts? wtf? Do they even make such a thing?
Even so I probably wouldn't eat pop tarts for a post workout snack.

Don't know if you're still looking, but here's mine:
-1 cup quick oats (450 calories; 83g carbs, 18g protein
-1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (90 calories; 1.5g fat; 14g protein
-1 scoop whey isolate (120 calories; 24g protein)
-5g creatine
Total: 660 calories; 83g carbs; 1.5g fat; 56g protein
(mix with I'd say about 300ml water for consistency, otherwise it's just dry and hardly edible)

Yes Sir!!!
One lowfat skrawberry poptart is 2.5g of fat and 40g of cho. A few scoops of whey iso and two poptarts makes for a delicious pwo snack on the ride home from the gym. Then it's chickenandricedrol time

Good advice
I typically consume some liquid carbs with aminos and whey hydrolysates during training when on the bulk. I usually forgo a pwo shake, but I'll head straight home and load up on chicken and rice. This works pretty good for me.

Sounds good. Usually Low fat foods are PACKED with sugar so I generally try to avoid them, but in some cases...

Tried that virgin olive oil with my protein shake and gagged. No more than 5 tablespoons per 1/2 quart. This was straight vomit-city when I tried 10 tablespoons.
