When Should I Drink Muscle Milk?
Muscle Milk provides many benefits for your muscle gaining goal and post workout recovery but you should use it wisely in order to get the benefits that this protein supplement provides. Many beginners wonder at what time they should drink Muscle Milk, before a workout? After a workout? Find out here.
Before Workouts
If you want to drink your Muscle Milk before you start your workout be sure to take it at least 30 minutes before your workout so your body absorbs the nutrition it provides for your workout. Don’t take it a minute before you start working out because you may end up feeling nauseous.
After Workouts
It is immediately after your workout that your body is craving vitamins and minerals to grow muscle. That is why if you drink Muscle Milk after your workout then be sure to take it within an hour or less after you finish workout out.
Before Going to Bed
Muscle Milk also suggest that drinking the supplement before going to bed is beneficial to help increase muscle mass. Although this is not recommended if you are trying to lose weight and best for those who are trying to gain weight. Take it before bedtime if you are looking to gain muscle, weight and you’ve done your workout regimen.
Meal Replacement
Muscle Milk also works as a great meal replacement because it contains a high amount of calories. Of course you shouldn’t replace all your meals with this supplement as you should also have a healthy diet rich in veggies and fruits. It is best used as a replacement for your lunch either before or after a workout.

Hi Marvin,
Thank you for your question. Your workout plan is looking good, keep up the good work and always try to vary your weight lifting routine a bit as well as increase how much weight you can lift when you feel ready.
Eating fruits is perfectly fine. Remember though to keep hydrated, in fact it is recommended that the first thing you do when you wake up is drink half a liter of water.
Muscle Milk can usually be found in stores around Gyms but if it is not available locally to you then I suggest you buy it online through BodyBuilding.com.

Hi Kenyatta,
Thank you for you comment. You can drink Muscle Milk both before and after your workout. It mainly depends on how much your workout and what your muscle building goals are. If you only do a light workout then only drink either before OR after. If you are really looking to pack in weight and muscle then drink bother before AND after. Best of luck!

@Cory – The best way is to drink muscle milk is either before or after workouts and you can also drink it before going to bed as well to make sure your muscles get the nutrients it needs while you are in anabolic state.
