Orange Juice, dudes. The best recovery drink. Simple sugars and some protein from the pulp. I like to slam down a quart after a hike. And what this crap about In-N-Out? That's sooo passe!

I think that would just put me to sleep!

I know what i do a day or two prior to a long, tough hike. Carb-load water hoard. blah blah blah...... But after the hike is more important i think.
