Smoothies make ideal post-exercise treats.Eating the right foods after a ride is essential to boost energy-giving carbohydrate stores and help build and repair hard working muscles.

A study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that drinking skim milk postworkout promotes muscle gain and fat loss. Yogurt is a source of carbohydrates, which helps to restore depleted energy reserves and provide you with a steady stream of energy. Honey does double duty after a workout, said researchers from the University of Memphis. It helps athletes to maintain optimal blood sugar levels, and it aids in muscle recovery post-training. Sweet!
