The king of shakes! High protein, good fats, fibre rich and nutrient dense. I find this shake particularly useful for an afternoon light meal; in-between lunch and dinner. That said enjoy it anytime of the day. For those who workout hard and particularly those that have muscular growth goals, remember that fat can inhibit anabolism in the hours after a workout. Because of its higher fat content I’d advise to use this shake in the hours after a gruelling workout and not immediately. Post workout nutrition should involve fats acting carbs and protein, such as a cream of rice and whey protein shake mixed with water. This will help replenish glycogen levels and pack muscle with nutrients. 

Therefor this shake is slower digesting because of its multifaceted macro composition. which makes it a great possible option before bed.
