It actually doesn't matter too much. The most popular time is within 30 minutes after exercising. It feels good and is a nice reward after your workout. Many Orangefitters also use it in the morning or evening by mixing it with their yogurt or smoothie to get more protein.
The most important thing is that you've consumed all your proteins/amino acids by the end of the day. Timing is less crucial. So, you don't necessarily have to have a protein shake right after your workout. You can have it before if you prefer.
However, it is recommended to consume around 20 to 40 grams of protein approximately 3 to 4 hours around your workout, as this has a beneficial effect on muscle recovery and growth.
Here's a handy rule of thumb:
- Non-athletes: 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
- Endurance athletes: 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
- Strength athletes: 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
- Those looking to lose weight: 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Pregnant/nursing women, elderly individuals, children (due to growth), vegetarians, vegans, as well as people who are ill or injured, generally require slightly more protein. If you want to learn more about this, you can read our blog 'How much protein do you need daily?
Good to know, Orangefit Blend can be used with confidence during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. In fact, pregnant women need slightly more protein daily, around 0.9 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Our shake makes it easy to meet that requirement.
As long as you like it or up to a maximum of 24 hours. The longer you leave the shake, the thicker it will become. Some people enjoy that!
