Can anyone give me a clue on a good tasting shake for post workout. And how soon after I workout do I have to drink it? I'm about 15 min from my gym.

Thanks:p
 
Well taste doesn't matter so much to me anymore!! But look for something with at least 20-50g protein and 50-75g of carbs (whey combined with dextrose is a popular choice). You want to drink it immediately and then resume normal eating a half-hour to an hour later.
 
get a decent whey protein isolate and mix dextrose/maltodextrin in there

if u wawnt pre made stuff i;ve used ro recover though i dont rate the taste (the product itself is good)

I will try scitec's 10 in one next time since it has a million and one shit in there that would cost loads if i bought them seperately

Surge is also a good choice

Good response

Whey w/dextrose/mal is a great choice. You might be better off taking it with you and drink it immediately post workout. When you get home, prepare a well balanced meal. Chicken breast with brown rice is also a very popular choice for the meal AFTER your PWO shake, about 45-1hr afterwards
 
I made up an interesting concoction for after-workout. It contains:

12 ounces of grape juice, two scoops of Whey protein powder (I like chocolate myself) 4-6 ounces of water (to taste) 5 grams of pure powdered creatine monohydrate, and two or three Tblsp of Maltodextrin (to taste)

Sounds strange I know, but it tastes pretty good and as far as I can see, has about everything a growing boy (or girl) needs. When I go to the gym, I'll take my mini cooler and store it in there alongside half a gallon of cold water. That way, I'll have it immediately available. From what I understand, the quicker you get it in, the better off you'll be.

Although, I assume that you being a female, you aren't 210 lbs like me, so maybe a little less on the Protein powder. I dunno.

I don't know if my ratios are correct or not, but I do know that I noticed a major difference a few hours afterwards when I didn't take it. Ouch.

juicehead, there is nothing special about isopure but the price. Its just ion exchange why isolate with a multi-vitamin in it and most bodybuilders already take vitamins.

Gymgurl, since you are not doing a keto diet, go with a whey isolate of some type with 25-30 g of maltodextrine in it. 5 grams of creatine wouldn't hurt either.

I guess it all depends on what fits the certain diet ur on...

If you were refering to my statement about isopure, it doesn't. I was just trying to save you some $$$ by telling you how to makeyour own isopure. They charge 2 times what you could make your own for. It all depends on what your budget looks like. I'm a full time student right now, so if I have extra money to spend, I don't use it to by something from one source for 2 or 3 times what I could get it somewhere else for. Just like with grocery shopping. I go where a given item costs less. However you may have a job that pays 6 figures or, may have less finacial needs that I do, so its no big deal to spend a few extra $$$ here and there. It depends on one's finacial situation.
 
Ur rite and even if i was making six figures its always nice to save some money and spend it some where else..

Like on more medication...........
 
i buy now foods dextrose in the 10lb bag and optimum whey mix up the ratios you want and slug it down as soon as your done with the workout.

right now i use about 60-70g of dextrose and 45 g of whey

good luck
