Recovery/Protein shakes?

Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere!

Quick insight: I've been running for quite a few years and have never used supplements before as I tend to eat a healthy balanced diet of carbs, protein, veggies and fruit etc and drink lots of water.

I tend to try and eat 30 minutes after runs generally, but I've been running on the treadmill at the gym a lot more recently after work rather than outside due to poor weather etc and the problem is when I leave the gym I'm absolutely starving and have a 45 minute drive home and then have to cook dinner etc. I was wondering whether having a protein shake after running/gym for hunger/muscle recovery would make any difference or are they just a waste of money and should I munch a banana or something afterwards?

Also is the eating 30 minutes after a run generally advised?

 

Sorry for the waffle!
