Post-Workout

Whey protein is undoubtedly the most popular post-workout supplement. You can usually find post-workout whey protein based supplements for a pretty good price, but if you are looking to save some money you can certainly buy the raw ingredients for a super effective post workout supplement and make one yourself.

Whey Protein Isolate- Whey protein isolate is almost exclusively pure fast-digesting protein packed with branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) for quick muscle recovery. You can buy straight whey protein isolate in bulk (roughly 37 cents a serving) and save big money.

 

Creatine Monohydrate- Most post-workout mixes contain creatine monohydrate, a supplement that has shown to aid in muscular strength, size, power, and recovery. The common dosage is 3-5g daily.

Chocolate Flavor- Chocolate milk mix contains simple carbohydrates which are important for restoring glycogen levels after a tough workout and ultimately fueling muscle growth.

I recommend mixing your post workout supplement in a blender with skim milk. Skim milk has no fat, ensuring fast digestion (fat is a slow digesting substance) which is crucial after a workout. Milk also brings more nutrients and protein to the table while improving taste.
