    It really doesn't matter, post workout is best but really doesn't make much difference. It makes me laugh when I see folks choking down a litre of whey as fast as they can in the gym changing rooms lol

    Go for casein and go for pure, no added anything. Those "bulking" shakes just make you fat!

    I make mine every morning for breakfast. Each has 4 ingredients I toss into a blender. The first three are a base that I always use, and the 4th ingredient I change up based on what I'm feeling like, or what is on sale at the store.
    1. A banana - I don't change this
    2. 3 Tablespoons low-fat, low sugar, Greek Yogurt - flavored or not, your preference
    3. 1 scoop Whey protein powder - or whatever a serving size is.
    4. Some other fruit or veggie. Lately I'm on a strawberry kick, but I've used blackberries, blueberries, fresh spinach, peaches, you name it. Makes for interesting and vibrant colors

    I'll add some water to thin it out if it's too thick - usually a problem with really fresh bananas.

    Add me, my diet is open, and you can see that I have this pretty much every morning.

    Sounds yummy. I have plain Greek yogurt, a banana, 1/2 cup of frozen pineapples, 6 or 7 blueberries, spinach, and a tablespoon or two of shredded carrots as my about time protein powder...so good!

    Great for breakfast. Great right after workouts. Great before bed. Great as an afternoon snack. Great for lunch paired with a salad.

    Great on Tuesdays and holidays and all throughout May.
