Casein?

Who is using casein before bed time?
Do you prefer mixing it with some whey as well?
Or do most of y'all have a solid bedtime meal for recovery?
I use to use casein and whey 50-50 ratio in a shake right before bed. I'm considering getting more I just wanna see who actually uses it and what brand you prefer.
I was thinking MP 100% casein

Hey man, I'm a big fan of casein! If I would only spend cash on one protein powder I would go with casein only or a 50-50 ratio like you said. However, a really good source of tasty casein is COTTAGE CHEESE. Low fat cottage cheese, great stuff, watch the sodium though.
Good luck
BendTheBarbellGetting the Hydra 6 today in the mail. Than I'm gomma mix Greek yogurt with it. Bedtime shake. I got lots of cottage cheese too but I snack on that whenever.cottage cheese flavor is so bland though...I am thinkimgof mixing some strawberry jam just a little. Idk.
Personally, I just eat two cups of plain Greek yogurt before bed. I don't spend my money on bagged casein.
BendTheBarbellThanks for your input PEZ. Always appreciate your 0.02 bro. And I actually just got back shopping And got quite a bit of cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Still gonna drink casein. I like shakes. I get bored easily of the same thing after a while. Got bananas too to eat with the yogurt purely for flavor
I keep my fats low throughout the day. Before bed, I prefer to have a bit of red meat 4-6oz and some greek yogurt. Without a bit of fat I wake up in the morning feeling like my stomach has a hole in it.
BendTheBarbellI'm thinking of a shake before bed bit mixing the hydra 6 protein I ordered with milk and yogurt. Maybe something else. I wanna make it hearty so I don't feel starving right when I wake. I wake up at 5 a.m and go straight to the gym.
Scoop of casein with a cup of natural greek yogurt is the way to go.
Skip the whey. Just stick with the slower digesting protein like casein. If you don't like drinking a shake and want some real food pound down some cottage cheese.
BendTheBarbellI like that answer. Yea I dig cottage cheese. Its slow digesting will achieve better results than casein shake or u think cottage cheese is better.
I don't think one is necessarily better it is more what you are in the mood for. Sometimes my stomach is craving solid food and other times a quick shake fits the bill.
Optimum nutrition chocolate casein tastes decent with milk
you definitely should have a casein shake before bed its the longest time your going without a meal, i feel like its a must
BendTheBarbellI still wanna hear opinions. But I was drinking just whey with milk before bed sense milk protein is mostly casein. But I just bought hydra 6. Its 50 percent whey 50% casein
