What to put in whey protein shakes?

I was talking about milk, not just casein. Casein is slower, whey is quicker.

Milk is not just casein.

Casein is considered a slower protein.
Whey is considered a quicker protein.

Can someone explain why the whey should be taken before and the casein after?! That seems backward- it seems to me that you would want a slow trickle of aminos in your system before from the casein and a sudden surge of aminos from the whey after when they are needed most.

I believe you want to have the amino acids available during your workout this is why you would want it absorbed quickly so when your in the gym your body can use them.

If casein takes so long to reach the bloodstream, that defeats the purpose of having aminos available within the "golden" hour or two or however long post-exercise. Any experts to convince me otherwise?

if you have eaten anything in the last 5-6 hrs there will be amino's in the blood stream.
