I just bought some Six Star Triple Chocolate Whey Protein powder. I haven't had protein shakes before except the Atkins shakes. When is the best time to drink them? Should I expect side effects??? Should I drink lost of water with it or maybe eat some food with it?

I drink mine after I workout. It's my breakfast. Everyday I have Chocolate Shakeology with almond milk and PB2. Sometimes I add 1/2 a frozen banana Hmmmmmmmmm good and filling!0

I've heard that I should drink it after a workout. I wonder if it matters.0

Most protein powders can be mixed in water, made into smoothies or even no bake cookies! It's best to have your post workout recovery drink/meal within an hour after a workout. Depending on what's in your powder, the only side effect may be bloating...but that's very rare. If it's a recovery blend, then you'll be less sore. WIN!0 -
I drink one with my breakfast, then one in the evening, after my workout.0
