Post workout Drink of choice

Non-fat Chocolate Milk.  Type of chocolate based on what I have on the shelf (choc. syrup, Ovaltine, Chocolate Whey Protein, Nestle Quik ...)

If I do a 3 hour plus bike ride and I can feel my legs are toast then I'll go for the Chcolate Whey Protein powder with the milk.

Similar to mine:

1 banana, handful of spinach, chocolate milk, peanut butter, ground flax seeds, ice. Blend and enjoy. Has the idea 4:1 carbs:protein ratio and tastes outstanding.

Chocolate Silk.

I usually do water and a Luna bar. Sometimes I will make or buy a smoothie, though. I made a banana, peanut butter, spinach, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk one today.

However, I have to say mix of whey and cocoa powder (50g carbs + 25f protein) if next session within 3-4 hours.

Oh man my favorite subject, food! 

Typically a vanilla protein shake with milk, orange juice, and berries, just so my body has something healthy to absorb immediately following a longer workout. 

Once I've showered and done some additional post-workout stretching, it could honestly be anything - maybe plain pizza, maybe pasta with spinach, or some kind of lean meat with vegetables.  Of course, there are like four amazing cheesesteak places right near me so I try to avoid those, but it's kinda hard!

2% milk, 20g of protein powder, banana, strawberries, flax seed and whatever else I can find in the fridge that's seasonal.

I'm not sure what "real food" is, a carb is a carb, and a gram of protein is a gram of protein.
