Why Post Workout Shakes Are NOT Necessary
http://www.SeanNal.com/articles/nutrition/are-post-workout-shakes-necessary.php

Post workout nutrition has become like a religion in bodybuilding and fitness circles. It's often referred to as the "window of opportunity" where one should pay special attention to the foods and liquids they consume in order to optimize recovery.

Post workout shakes have always been considered a key part of this process. Since your muscles are in a state of breakdown, it's said that a lifter should consume a liquid whey shake immediately following their session in order to rapidly stimulate protein synthesis.

But are post workout shakes necessary?

People often ask me, "do I need a post workout shake", and the simple answer is that no, you actually don't.

This is because protein digestion and absorption is an incredibly gradual process, and as long as you consumed a regular pre workout meal within a few hours of your session, it's actually the protein from that meal that is still being released and utilized even after your workout is over.

For that reason, consuming post workout protein in the form of a drink or smoothie just isn't necessary and is not going to do anything to enhance your results. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's just not mandatory by any means.

In addition, post workout carbohydrates are a non-issue as well. Weight training sessions only drain glycogen by a small amount depending on the intensity (30-40%), and rapidly replenishing those glycogen levels is not important either unless you're an athlete training for multiple sessions a day.

I would recommend that you get some form of high quality protein and carbohydrates in within a couple of hours of completing your workout, but just don't think you need to immediately slam a post workout drink immediately after your session.

Post workout shakes are definitely not necessary, and although they won't hinder your results, it's ultimately just a waste of your time and effort, as the issue of what to drink after your workout is not worth stressing over.
