I drink milk as a recovery drink. Yesterday I drank a pint after the ride. Also I was hungry and instead of loading carbs, I ate the cream of the milk. I know about avoiding fats after physical exercise because they slow down the absorbtion of other things but this time I listened to my body.
I buy the milk from someone who raises cows in a village near my place, milks the cows and sells it out of his car in the morning. It's whole milk and not pasteurized. Still, we boil it at home and a very delicious and fatty cream skims at the top
I like all kinds of milk: sheep's, goat's...but they are difficult to find.
