No, not just milk - that's just what I drink when I get through the door, before I jump in the shower etc.
I try to eat some decent food within the next hour too, poached eggs with avocado/brocolli etc, or oily fish on toast or some kind of carb. Good recovery is about what you eat and drink over the next 6 hours after exercise, not just the pint of goo you bang in at first.
Energy food mix stuff is rank, i only really ever drink it if I'm in a hurry.
