The best time to drink your protein shake will vary depending on your goals.

Popular times to drink your protein shake include during the recovery period within 30 minutes after your workout; about 30 to 60 minutes before you start your workout to help you fuel up; and at intervals throughout the day to make sure that you are getting enough calories and protein to build up your muscle mass. Keep in mind that before starting a new exercise regimen or supplementing with protein powder, it is a good idea to talk with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to do so. He or she can also offer you professional advice that is tailored to your individual needs.
