Yes, you can take protein shakes either before of after a work out. If you are in need of something a bit more filling, you can opt for a protein bar. Again, either before or after a workout. However, it is essential to remember that the majority of protein in your diet, should come from solid foods, and not from these supplements.
Protein shakes have gotten to be an often-worthless fad in some areas, w/ the emphasis on Shake, as in milk shake, a comfort food.
Use food, then you'l know what you'r getting.
