What do you eat after a long ride?

What's this gem called? Did you find it at a specialty store or general grocery? Yum!

I had to dispose of it since I had no control - it is quite yummy The next time I see it at the store I will see who makes it. If I could exercise normally I would have kept it

Nutella is hazelnut butter. But I can't have that around the house, either.

I am ravenous after rides, even short ones. I also get hungry right as I start riding, even if I have eaten within an hour before starting.
I try to get a good proportion of protein and carbs, real food after a ride. Although, if it's a short ride, a Luna Bar will usually do. I like chocolate skimmed milk, but it's not enough after a longer ride.
I don't have junk in my house, so I try to give in to my cravings, even if it means I eat less later in the day. Otherwise, I just don't stop.

PBJ and a glass of lactaid milk as I am lactose intolerant. If I am still hungry, I have a V8 and a banana.

If I am not near home, I have the banana I took with me along witih a Powerbar protein bar (peanutbutter) and what is left of my GU electrolyte drink. That will tide me over till I get home, as I really need to eat after a long ride. If I am near a yogurt place, and I have my lactose pills with me, I get a banana split yogurt.

Heck, even after my short commute to work, I arrive hungry. So I make up a rice cake with peanutbutter on it, and a red tea with honey and cinnamon. It's a nice relaxing moment to start what will be a hectic day.

Salmon Burrito(or sans burrito).

In skillet cook salmon with Ghee or olive oil, mix in garlic, onions, some form of hot peppers. Add 2 eggs(whisked) and a handful of walnuts(oils in walnuts help your body absorb and process the goodness in the salmon).

Then heat up wrap, remove from heat and add hummus. Next, put scrambled eggs/salmon mixture in, top with tomatos and avocado.

wrap up and enjoy!! If I didn't ride as long, I will remove the wrap and eat it as scrambled eggs w/salmon and veggies.
