Looking for post workout recovery drinks or meals

I had a personal training business for 40 years. I've seen it all. I would put the following up against any other suggestion . PB&J. Yes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Use a low fat, low sugar peanut butter and no sugar added jelly and of course whole grain bread. Like to chase it down with some low-fat milk. Compare all the nutrition of the above, with no downside, to anything else out there. PB&J wins.

I'm sorry, late to this party, but as a lifelong peanut butter aficionado feel compelled to weigh in.
As opposed to "a low fat, low sugar peanut butter", I would suggest simply consuming REAL peanut butter, that is, peanut butter with NO added sugar or fats (which are hydrogenated--unhealthy and cheaper for the producer), and the ingredients need be ONLY peanuts, plus salt, if that's to your taste.
That means no Skippy, for example, but one major U.S. maker, Laura Scudders, does have a "natural peanut butter" in a glass jar, which is nice. Trader Joe's and Ralph's also has their store brands of decent natural ones.
Again, you MUST read the label, since many so-called "natural" peanut butters, including some organic ones (!), still have these unnecessary adulterants.
I would also suggest instead of jam, perhaps considering old fashioned bananas--no added sugar!
