Yes, you can use casein to slow digestion. It actually gels in the stomach before digestion, thus providing a prolonged release of amino acids into the bloodstream. Casein is also very high in glutamine. The downside is it is not as high in BCAA's as whey protein. So, in a pinch, I guess this would be alright. This would be a very good nightime protocol. You of course are always better off getting a whole food meal in. The slow release will be just that, very slow and small amount. If it is hydrolized, it will become a "fast protein". So be careful here.
Mixing flax oil is good, usually best later in the day. YOur body metabolizes fats best at this time. If dieting, I would opt for my fats with veggies and protein from late afternoon on. As far as amount, you will have to factor that from your calorie macros.
