I say keep it simple though. After the longest hardest workouts is when I most need a good recovery snack, and it's also when I'm least inclined to putter around the kitchen prepping fruit, messing around with multiple ingredients, and assembling a blender. If what you most want when you walk in the door is to jump into your ice bath, then put on your compression stockings and put your legs up for an hour, then pile up a 2-3 ingredient recovery snack onto a plate and take it to the couch with you.
