Best Post Workout Shake

[TimberLakers]

2 Scoops of Chocolate Whey - My favorite is ON Gold Standard
1 slightly overripe banana - couple brown spots on the peel
12 ounces of water
2 tablespoons of powdered milk
2 tablespoons of chunky peanut butter

Throw the first 4 ingredients in the blender and beat the crap out of it - then add the peanut butter at the very end. Its dessert in a glass (can also add creatine or other supps if needed)

1 And 1/2 Scoop Whey
6 Oz Eggwhite International
Glutamine
Dextrose
Creatine
4 ICE CUBES

A little honey
A little vanilla

When do you guys make these shakes???
Do you make them prior to the workout and take them to the gym with you? or do you wait until you get home and have at it?

well u have like a 3hour window i think...(1-2hour just to be safe) to take ur post workout supplements. shouldent hurt to make it when u get home.

[Inarius]

Thats what I thought but I normally just take my protein in a bottle with me then hit up the water fountain.... A few shakes later and Im ready to go!

3hours is a bit much isnt it? I've always been told within 30mins is the best time to eat after a workout.

Morning or at night, or after my workout. Mostly at night when i need to get some extra cals in

after reading this it is my understanding that the window of opportunity is outdated... here it is

sorry it wasent 3...it was 2...i googled it..and i dont know why u would take protein for the cals... why not for the protein?.

"

I don't know what you mean there, i didn't say i'd take protein for the cals. I mean't i'd take a extra shake at the end of the day if i needed to bump up my cals a bit. All my shakes are high in carbs and protein

[Chub]

what kind or protein do u take at night.?

Usually whey protein, mostly protein from soya nuts and natty peanut butter does the trick.

Casein.

lol....i what protein too take... i was asking chub what he takes

[DreamOfWeight]

chub; i was confused with ur though process on why u take a protein such as whey at night.... im not trying to act up.... but u should try a slow processing protein at night... it will help nurish ur body thoughout ur sleep.... as well as help to keep u anabolic.. if im not mistaken

I don't usually use a lot of whey supplements at night. They seem to give me the runs lol. only if i'm serious bulking. I try to keep it all to wholefoods as much as possible. What kinda slow processing protein are you talking about? as i can't really think of any :P

check out ultrapeptide2.0 from xtreme formulations...good taste!! Nutraplanet has it.. 2.0 has more cals than the original.. they are both equally as good though

the only problem with that is its expensive!!!
as a poor college student, Im finding it hard to make ends meet and support my lifting addiction.
