Favorite post workout shake
I'm looking for a good post workout shake.... I usually just stick with 60g of Walmart isolate protein immidiately after workout and then 25min later take another 30g with 30-60g of fast carbs but seeing as tho I'm in contest prep I want to get the best.... Anyone please post your favorite and why

Shake? I'm usually heading for the biggest plate of food I can get my hands on!
Today was 16 oz of chicken and 1.5L of water to wash it down.

My favorite PWO shake has been Dymatize Nutrition's 50gr whey isolate w/ ON's 5-6 gr of micronized creatine monohydrate and a teaspoon of powdered cinnamon all blended together with plenty of cold water.
I don't do PWO carbs anymore.Last edited by Turkish Juicer; 02-15-2013 at 10:31 AM.

1 scoop Optimum Nutrition: Platinum Hydrowhey with 5g AllMax Nutrition: Micronized Creatine Monohydrate in 6-8 ounces of water immediately after workout. I've been using Vitargo S2 immediately after my workouts with my shake as well...

Yes, cinnamon is mostly for taste; however, a quick Google research would also show you the many amazing properties of this ancient spice, including its insulin mimicking effect.

For added effectiveness, we've also enhanced this revolutionary formula with digestive enzymes and micronized branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). In addition to being fast, Platinum Hydrowhey is also ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress."
It's more on the expensive side compared to ON Gold Standard, which is another excellent choice. I believe it digests faster as it is entirely made up of the most advanced and fasted digesting protein on the market.
ON Gold Standard will not deliver results as fast as Hydrowhey. Both are solid of course, but if you have the money to dish out I would buy Platinum Hydrowhey any day and take it either immediately post workout and immediately upon waking. ON Gold Standard for meal replacement and/or ~30 minutes pre workout
Hope I helped with my 19 year old knowledge

This would really depend on the individual as there are many variables regarding what would be the best PWO shake. Your goals, daily macro breakdown, personal taste etc. are some of these variables.
I know many people also add PB to their PWO shakes, not a great idea IMO, being someone with a background in nutrition, I would never recommend fat intake when insulin is deliberately triggered, as this will naturally lead to fat gain.
My PWO shake includes 50gr of vanilla flavored whey isolate, one tea spoon full of micronized creatine mono and again, one tea spoon full of powdered cinnamon. No carbs or fat for me as for my PWO shake.
