If I add fruits/yogurt to a protein shake, will it take my body longer to absorb it?

[Juddjundi34]

I have been working out for a while now, but I just recently started talking protein shakes. I usually take some breakfast shake in the morning and a protein shake in the afternoon right after my workout. I add fruits and yogurt to the morning shakes to make them more filling and substitute it for breakfast. I was curious if it would be optimal to add fruits and yogurt to my afternoon shake as well, or if that would make it take longer to absorb the protein?

Don't overthink it~ As long as you get your daily protein intake in
It's fine to add fruits/yogurts to it.. PLENTY of people do it regularly.
A staple preworkout meal of mine is pro-oats

Thanks a lot, I tend to overthink things and I wanted to make sure I was doing it “right”. Oats is a good idea too, I think i’m going to start adding that to my morning shakes as well!

Yes, you can add. But take only protein shake after workout. And before bed, you can mix low-fat yogurt.

Stop giving advice when you don't know what you're talking about...

It's just powdered food. It's not magic and dependent upon timing. What next? Only eat chicken before working out?
