Casein protein?

When you go to your typical supplement store, you have 4 main protein supplements available to purchase:
1. A whey protein
2. A casein protein
3. A egg protein
4. A vegetable protein such as soy, hemp, brown rice, gemma pea, or alfalfa
Unless you are a vegan, vegetable protein powders aren't a good choice because they have a very poor absorbability by the body.
Egg proteins are a good option but I personally don't think they are necessary if you are already eating eggs/egg whites in your regular diet.
Whey protein is very fast digesting which makes it optimal for supplementing with before and after workouts.
Casein protein coagulates and creates a gel in the stomach. It is very slow digesting which makes it optimal to supplement with before bed.

the best way to recover after your workouts is SLEEP pure and simple
you can eat and drink all the protein you want, it won't make a lick of difference without proper sleep
the next would be your vitamins/minerals. dark green veggies combined with a multi will do the trick.
we already get plenty of protein in our diets, that isn't where we are lagging. but we get a tiny amount of greens and sleep!

First is food. Then is sleep.
Lets never forget about the food!
As for the proteins - casein is better utilised during nighttime as its being digested slowly and it keeps a constant flow of amino acids to your bloodstream.
Casein is best taken before bed due to the extremely slow digestion. I would use it then. If you don't want to buy it then don't worry. If you just use a whey protein you will likely notice no difference.
