I like the Clif Mango-orange recovery. If I'm planning a big ride, I'll make a double serving of recovery. Extra fuel, extra water. I also am not fond of eating right after a ride, but know I need to consume something or I get loopy.
Sometimes milk products are irritating to my gut, so this year I'm going to try a different recovery plan. I'm thinking V8 juice and something salty-protien. Like a slice of Spam. (no kidding) I'm a huge sweater, and need salt and water after a ride.
Today I forced myself to eat a banana near the end of my ride and didn't drink my V8.
We'll just see how this works out.
But back to your original post: yes, I found I felt much better if i drank TWO servings of Clif recovery after long rides.
