You don't need protein powder after a workout, however it's a good idea to ingest at least 20g of protein at some point following a workout bout. Again, that's not protein powder specific. Meaning within a couple hours after exercise, eat a meal that's protein-rich. Could be a burrito from Chipotle which contains around 45g of protein, could be 2 chicken breasts with dinner, or a glass of milk along with lunch. No one needs protein powder.
