Lets talk Protein shakes & BB'ing

If I was going to add some caesin protein (pure shake not mixed with whey) in with my whey mixtures what would be the best time to do so?

I take at least 4 shakes a day on workout days so i was thinking doing whey shakes all the time except pre and post workout but then I thought that caesin digests slower so that would be a waste because it wouldn't get into my system fast enough.

what do you guys and gals do?

I would say at night.....it is a slower moving protein i believe.

Exactly... casein is best at night... or in between meals... it's digested far more slowly than whey...

Whey is especially important first thing in the morning and post-workout...when you need fast-digesting protein the most.... if you eat right before a workout, then whey is the best choice.

I agree with njmuscleguy and truckdaddy. Casein is best taken at night. Slow digestion feeds the muscles while you sleep.

when i make a shake it looks somthing like this:

1cup whole milk
2tbsp. ANPB
1/2 cup oats
1/2 bananna
one serving chocolate flavor protein powder (using BSN syntha 6 now)
a few scoops fat free plain yogurt
a 'glug' of flaxseed oil
3-4 raw egg whites
ice

a good one to sleep on...
