This should be taken right after your workout. You have a 45 minute window after your workout where your body will absorb the nutrients better than later. Within 60-90 minutes of your workout have a solid meal - meaning real food. A good protein source such as fish, lean beef, chicken or turkey is ideal with slow burning carbohydrates such as vegetables, whole grains, brown rice etc.

Having protein / amino acids is a must post-workout, and in terms of carbs stick with vegetables - green are optimal. You can also stick with a Casein type protein if it's that late - it's a slow released protein that will feed / replenish your muscles all night.

Up until 9weeks out from the bodybuilding competition, I was eating about 16oz of fruit after every workout. Pineapple, strawberries, bananas, apples, etc. This replenished nutrients and refills your muscles. Feels great. So if your goal is health, dropping a little fat, or building muscle, replenish postworkout.
