After my workout, should I take my creatine before my protein shake or the other way around? I heard that both could be mixed and be taken together but I prefer to drink them seperately. Also, after I take one supplement, how long should I wait to take other? ( supplements being creatine & protein and it's still post workout)

I use Optimum Nutrition, and take mine about 20 minutes before I work out. Creatine that is. and take my protein right after my workout is complete. This has worked good for me..

I always take mine together. Some suggest taking the creatine alone. I think this unecessary, but if you wish to wait, this is acceptible. Your time frame of when to take one after the other is of no consequence, just the sooner the better.
