Hi Barb,
From what I have learned ( in school for exercise science and sports nutrition) and understand it would be best to stop carbs 3 Hours before you go to bed. Personally , I just stop carbs...
Try optimum nutrition 100% whey i use the double choc and i think it tastes pretty good with skim milk. Also if u look at the scivation whey protein brownie receipe and sludge it works with this...
