I know protein is beneficial after strength training but is there any harm if I have a shake after a cardio workout? Whether it be after a long walk/run or elliptical? Any info would be greatly appreciated.... Thanx Adam D.

    This is a good video pertaining to protein shakes and when to drink them.

    To answer your question simply, yes they're beneficial if you're just looking for another source of protein throughout the day.
