There's no reason to have a shake pre workout for me at least. Just make sure you eat some energy supplying carbs (some ppl prefer low GI carbs, otherwise they feel sluggish and sleepy).....and a little protein. My fav is brown rice and fat-free cottage cheese.
Now post-workout most would benefit from a shake of 30-40g of maltodextrin or dextrose and 25 grams of whey. Quick absorption and ingestion of nutrients is the purpose post-workout.
