I currently have 2-3 protein shakes per day,

1 in the morning with breakfast
1 after workout
1 before bed

just wondering, how long (if anything) to leave it after my workout to drink the shake and get the most benefit from it???
(or does it really matter that much???)

Thanks,

it's hard to "overload" after working out as the body is soaking up what it gets for replenishment...if having the shakwe second it's probably not getting digested as it may be getting held up by the solid food which is another reason for having as soon as you finish
