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.
