Most of the time I dont get done training until late... 9ish during the week.
Can anyone suggest something that would be good for a post workout/meal replacement so I dont have to cook dinner at 10pm?!
Any help is appreciated!
Nothing really replaces a good meal after training as protein is essential for muscle repair. Why not prepare meals beforehand so they're ready to go once you're done? At the very least try get a protein shake down you. I always have trail mix after training too, although I can't testify to this having any benefit, it just appears to help me with fatigue. 
Thanks man... thats what I usually do is get a protein shake. Ill try the trail mix. I love that shit and eat it for lunch every day too. ive me wicked farts, so my wife hates it! lol!
Also don't be scared to get carbs in their too. Your body can only absorb and use 30-45g of protein at a time so don't overdo it in one sitting.
My post workout shake is 30g of rice/pea/hemp protein with almond milk and a banana.
Low fat chocolate milk.
Protein shake and soem kind of carbs.
Peanutbutter and banana on wholemeal bread Is great too
A Banana is not good for post workout? Wow!
OP, have this...
Milk
Pot of Yogurt x1
Banana x1
PB x2-3 scoops
Sachet of Oats x1
Thank me later ;-)

Lol....my body and lift #s disagree with you buddy.
Good stuff. Pretty similar to what I eat anyway. But I'll try some if the things on here!!!! 
Torrent by Universal is one of the best post workout drinks because it's one of the few that actually contain simple carbs. That's important because simple carbs raise your insulin levels and allow fast, direct absorption of the protein.
Drinking a protein shake is also better than having a meal such as chicken or steak because of the quick digestion. And studies showed that protein and carbs yield better results as far as muscle growth than protein alone.
Optimum Nutrition also makes one called After Shock that comes in chocolate or vanilla but I prefer Torrent because of the refreshing citrus flavors which seem better when you're hot from your workout.
If you're on a budget, then go with the chocolate milk as previously suggested. Same reason; protein and simple carbs from the sugar.
Fucking hell, do you take a blender with you to the gym or something?
Banana's are awesome for a post workout snack to get some quick acting sugars in you, relieve you of cramps, get some electrolytes back into your system etc. Why aren't they good?
Whey shake and a Banana are awesome for p/workout.
What do you have? Dates etc?
the best bars i have ever seen are the "warrior meal" bars from core foods. www.corefoods.com
i always bring these with if im on the road and know i will need a snack.
I don't have Brown Bread.
What do you have? You've forgot to mention it..

Let me get his right:
The best protein I can get is from peanut butter?
The best glucose I can get is from banana?
The best complex carb I can get is from brown bread?
I totally get it if ppl wanna steer clear of protein shakes (I don't). But advising someone to eat crappy post workout meal is nonsense.
And to those advocating chocolate milk - seriously just jump off a cliff.
I agree with all of these being wrong except for chocolate milk. It's actually as good as a post workout protein shake and a simple carb, which is exactly what chocolate milk is. Studies have proven that but I'm too lazy to go searching for them.
Peanut butter is a bad source of protein because it is mainly fat, thus it's a great source of FAT, which also happens to have some protein. In order to consume an adequate amount, you'd be ingesting too much fat, and you shouldn't even be eating ANY fat post workout in the first place.
A banana is not a good source of carbs since it doesn't really spike your insulin levels the way you want after a workout. It's pretty low on the gyclemic scale and should be considered a complex carb. It ranks 30-62. An optimal sugar is glucose which is what the scale is based on, and that's 100. Only Dextrose is higher at 111. Waxy Maize, for example (found in Torrent) is 90.
Gots to go eat, but I'll be back to discuss why brown bread is not good for post either. : ) basically, it's the same reason as the banana.
PEACE!
RobinHood -Beatbum - my problem with chocolate milk is most people won't be reaching for the good quality stuff - but the cheap crap full of sugar, colourings and so on.
Still waiting for you to tell us what YOU take for PWO...
Here's an article on choclate milk versus one of the more expensive PWO supplement drinks:
