Hey gang. I was wondering if this was a good idea post-workout. Mixing a scoop of creatine with 2 scoops of Protein?
Thanks!

I know several people who put some creatine mono into their post workout shakes. I've not heard anything against this method either.

It sure is - but to maximize recovery you should add carbs (particularly simple carbs like dextrose or glucose) to to your shake. Research clearly shows that protein and carbs post-workout combined with creatine is highly effective at replenishing muscle glycogen stores post-workout which, among other things, will help to keep your muscle bellies full and ensure maximum energy for tomorrows workout.Originally Posted by rewtbeer

No problems that I see it should work well for you.

The way I get around that is to take my creatine dry off the spoon and wash it down with my shake.Originally Posted by Forthecross11"I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people who are convinced they are about to change the world.
