If you're looking for something to sell that's more "balanced," you can look at Muscle Milk and Muscle Milk Light. They taste good, too.
Many people need more protein, so I have no problem with you hooking them up there, but you might suggest they drink a protein shake (from you) and then have a meal in an hour or so.
If they've been eating a decently balanced diet all day, then they don't need the carbs post workout, either. The protein drink might help tide them over until the meal, too.

Guess that makes sense to put all carbs in the form of sugar when you think about cost.
But, using your balanced diet example, if they take only a protein based supplement post workout, won't most (50%) of that protein be used in energy conversion to the blood stream to restore glycogen stores? Leaving less raw protein available for protein synthesis?
I'm still kind of new at this (6 months) so let me know if I've got my head up a**.
