Protein at bedtime

[Island Roots]

Right now I'm taking ON's casein protein (chocolate flavor) before bedtime. It is disgusting. I've gagged several times when taking it. During the day I take ON's whey protein (double rich chocolate flavor) and it isn't bad at all.

I'm wondering if I can achieve some of the same effects of casein protein by mixing whey protein with milk at bedtime (usually take whey protein with water). Milk slows digestion/absorption, correct? Shouldn't it slow the digestion rate of the whey protein while I'm sleeping if I take it with milk?

well depends on ur goals i guess, but know that milk is full of sugar... if u want to u can have some cottage cheese. but if u really just want the whey mix in some peanut butter cuz the fats will slow down the digestion a bit

or just take it with fish oil

yeah, add some fiber and fat to slow digestion. p.b. and oats w/ carbcountdown milk, and throw in some cottage cheese also. great shake.

Casein is the perfect bedtime protein, I'd stick with it and add something to improve the taste.

suck it up and down the drink not everything will taste like a treat

i use my regular protein but mix natural peanut butter with it b4 bedtime...it does slow the absorbtion because of the fat...markus ruhl gave out that tip in md a couple months ago..

I agree, its not supposed to be a choclate malt delight


in any case, you can just eat a piece of meat before bed and get BETTTER results

Cottage cheese with natty peanut butter and splenda. Low carb, high casien, healthy fat...takes a long time to digest and tastes great.
