Hello !
I'm new at this protein shake thing and I usually workout 30 mins at lunch time..and do ChaLEAN extreme in the evening before supper (around 6:30 PM)
When should I take my protein shake ? in between the 2 like mid afternoon ?
Thanx !!! :)

    I'm not a big breakfast person so I drink mine then. I have a banana or hard boiled egg after workout.

    I don't drink protein shakes religiously, usually if my workout was realllllly tough I'll feel just awful afterward and so I'll have a nice banana/p.b./protein/almond milk shake and I perk right up.

    Your supposed to drink it within 30mins of doing strength training

    It doesn't really matter that much, but if you're strength training it may benefit you slightly to drink it right after your strength workout.
