What does everyone take post workout?

[Yabuddy]

What does everyone take post workout? I have always just taken creatine after my workout at the gym and 40grams of whey protein/with milk about 30 minutes later. Is this sufficient? Also my creatine has a lot of sugar and I know we are supposed to keep our insulin levels down. Is this ok to take post workout? What does everyone take?

whole white bagel with peanut butter 40gram protein shake 1 banana when not on keto diet

After my workout I always take my protein shake and eat my whole dinner(work out in evenings)

 

[JewJistu012]

Iso prot and creatine. Hour later I eat a meal.

 

[MeatHead96]

Muscle Replenisher shake immediately post workout. Then a solid meal about an hour later.

Thanks for the input so far. Looks like you can't go wrong with a good protein shake and whole foods. I have been researching the insulin spike after a workout and there are mixed reviews. Some say its good, some say its bad. I guess if its working don't change it?

Wouldn't you want to take the creatine before the workout so it is in your system by the time you are done. I take BCAAs about 15 minutes before then a protien shake about 20 minutes after, then a meal.

No carbs for 2 hours after cardio workout to maximize fat burning, then 50 grams protein shake

I use creatine pre wo bulking and post if im cutting. Creatine is better absorbed pw and helps retain muscle. When im bulking I want the heavier lifts and not worried about trying to retain cause im eating so much.

Whey protein + Vitargo

Always a protein shake. Also a glass of cool aid. Heard somewhere the sugar helps with glycogen uptake.

Protein Shake, Multi-Vitamin, Fish Oil. One Hour later have a full meal as I also work out in the evenings after work.

To avoid the insulin spike, grab a protein that's sugar free, it might taste like shit, but your body will love you for it.

I take 60g of Isos PW, used to take creatine, but its really hard on the kidneys.
