Best Answer

The best time to drink a protein shake is probably before you start your work out, to supply your body with energy needed to build muscle and then straight after so your muscles have everything they need to grow, but keep in mind this is an expensive way of using your shakes.

As with most things it depends on why you want to drink one. Are you trying to loose bodyfat, buildmuscle or maintain and get nutrients.

Short answer is at least once a day for breakfast, two scoops of powder, ice, juice, vegies and fruit. Puree on high and drink 1 cup to start... then sip it throughout the day when your stomach growles.

I did this and lost 47 pounds in 9 months.

You should drink your protein shake within 10 minutes after workout. It is better for you digesting if you don't drink it to fast and not to slow.
