This shake is great post workout--I tried and I plan on making it my post workout shake for the drive home. I freeze the bananas first before blending it tastes better that way--Our gym has a little room with blenders and a fridge -only us psychos are allowed to use it so I always make a shake right before I drive home.

thats what im talking bout husky..glad i could help

[athiktos]

haha yeah good stuff fellas...that shake that adidamps2 posted sounds like the HULK shake from Smoothie King, good stuff right there. I guess it all depends on what style you are looking at too- slow or fast acting. I have a friend who goes the slow way and he takes:
12oz milk
2 scoops whey protein
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
some honey
1 lg. banana
1 T. peanut butter

Fat should not be included in your Post-Workout meal. It slows down the absorption of the protein and carbs your body needs during that PW window.

[athiktos]

I hear ya on the fat JT thats why I dont really ever mix my whey shakes with milk. Milk digests about as slow as a T-Bone steak! I never want to mix my fast acting protein with slower acting things. My friend swears by his shake tho, I'm just trying to get more ideas.

I hate eating PWO. I usually feel like I'm going to throw up. Most often I'll choke down a protein shake and/or a meal replacement shake. 70 grams of protein minimum.

[ManOfMuscle]

first i drink about 100 grams of carbs instant gatorade/maltodextrin then drink 50 grams whey protein and take 5g creatine with that

i dont believe in just taking whey and carbs in after a wo..i want something thats gonna feed my muscles for the next few hrs afterwards and give me the energy i need over a course of time and not just slammmin my system with quick acting stuff...do i still occaisonly take just whey and carbs after a WO yes but not often...usually if im dieting down..

[solcraft]

1/3 hydrolized 520 protein
1/3 HRS (Hydrolyzed Rice-based Carbohydrate)
1/3 zerocarb isopure
2000 mg CEE
1 tbs spirulina
6 ozs soymilk

this shake tastes like crap, but it packs it all in there. the results are incredible (like the taste), i think its because of the great absorbtion properties of the proteins/carbs. not too pricey. i like to wait about a half hour for my natty gh to peak, and still be able to take advantage of the bodies ability to take in more protein post work out.
PROTEIN FACTORY

[athiktos]

good stuff fellas, ill def. try one of these out- or all of them. Keep it comin!

[adidamps2]

That's why I eat another meal high in Protein and Carbs an hour after my PW shake.

[athiktos]

One more thing from me. The dextrose is good stuff and I like it, but I it makes the shakes pretty thick. I guess you could use more water if you wanted, but that also means more to drink. So you can decide - thick shake or a lot of shake. Either way, when you try to burp, you'll get those chocolate whey bubbles that come up instead...!

as do i...its depends on your preferences...my goal is strength and size...

For bulking I would have a large bowl of oatmeal cooked with 3 egg whites, two scoops of chocolate protien powder and two table spoons of peanut butter. A glass of grape juice on the side.
