After a good run, I like to do a protein smoothie. I use GNC's Lean Shake as a meal replacement for dinner. I do the vanilla powder with unsweetened almond milk as a base, and I usually use frozen organic strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries (while I prefer fresh, let's face it that frozen keeps longer and is always in season!). Sometimes, I add a strawberry or peach yoghurt into the mix.
Someone suggested adding peanutbutter when not using fruit, and it was like a revelation. I love peanutbutter like nobody's business, so I'm going to try that next week.
If not a shake right after I get home, I'll have a Cliff Builder's bar, and I usually have a thinkThin bar sometime in the middle of the day. I'm...kinda a big fan of protein bars in general because there's a texture thing there that I like, but these two are my favorites.
But I definitely feel a difference in my performance when running and my recovery afterwards when I'm not doing the bars and shakes. About the time I started running again, I also stopped eating meat (and while I eat fish, I do not actively eat a lot of it).
So...shakes, bars, cereal, giant steaks...what do you eat or drink to fuel up, refuel, recharge, or just fill yourself up?

Gatorade...*shudder* I drank it for nine months straight because it was one of the few things that I could keep down while pregnant. In general, though, I'd always pick water over any sort of sports drink for taste reasons.
