8. Do I have to drink a protein shake after the workout?
The classic post-workout shake after a workout is perfectly okay but not a must. A Whey shake immediately supplies your muscles with amino acids (protein building blocks) and thus ensures optimal recovery.
However, it is also sufficient if you eat a post-workout meal 1 to 2 hours after training and only a small snack (or shake) after training. Above all, plenty of proteins and carbohydrates should end up on your plate.
