While protein is indeed more important after a session, if you are trying to gain muscle, carbs are a valuable tool in creating an insulin spike post workout. "Carbs themselves are not anabolic; they can help muscle growth through glycogen replenishment and via an insulin spike, which prevents muscle breakdown and facilitates the uptake of amino acids in the muscle" - Christian Thibaudeau
And my carb recommendations are all dependent on your weight, body fat, and goals.
