Pro Tips

  • ✓Drink within 30–45 minutes post-workout to maximize the anabolic window.
  • ✓Whey protein is ideal post-workout because it digests faster than casein or plant protein.
  • ✓Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and fast-digesting carbs that replenish glycogen.
  • ✓If you're lactose intolerant, use lactose-free milk or a plant-based protein powder.
