Hmm, soy choc milk or one of those non-dairy alts?
Does your 'no processed' rule include making your own recovery drink with sugars, proteins, salts from bulk powders/myprotein?

It depends what you're trying to do and how long you're riding for. I can't physically carry enough food for some of the training ride calories I use, nor can I hope to eat back the calories I've used afterwards. Liquid calories make getting close a lot easier though. I'm more interested in performance than diet rules. If eating deep-fried, honey-coated, chocolate-filled KFC made me faster, i'd be doing it.
Do you consider milk as a processed food? You don't need 'recovery products' or 'energy products' to get liquid calories.
