Post-Workout shake -- how long after workout?

[jond]

I've been told that drinking a protein shake after you workout is the best time to take it in.
Right now, I drive 30 minutes home from the gym before I can drink a shake. Is there a window of optortunity to take it in by?

I would take your shake to the gym and drink it immediately upon completing your workout.

So would 30 minutes after you work out be too late? It takes me about 15 - 30 minutes to get home also.

Agree with Zara,i always take it within 15 minutes after workout.
