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.

excellent point about the maltodextrin/dextrose. So many people shy away from carbs but after a workout you really need those carbs. They help "transport" the protein to the muscles and help the muscle recover.
