Fruit Smoothies & Protein Shakes - not together?

[titchard]

Hey,

I am sure I remember reading somewhere that when you have protein shakes you should not mix them with fruit as its not good for the proteins (I assumes acids or something) however I always chuck a scoop or two in with a homemade fruit smoothie each morning.

Is this a bad idea? Should I separate them?

No, mix them all you like.

The only time you shouldn't mix it with anything is post-training. You want the protein to enter your system as quickly and efficiently as possible. Best method for that is by just using water.

Post-workout it's important to take protein with a fast acting carb also.

Cheers thanks for your messages, pre workout / breakfast mix - post workout don't mix

Vitamins in fruit can only be good for you. I can't see any good reason why they would be anything else.

Banana + peanut butter + milk = health calories

Yeah I know I am not disputing the awesomeness of fruit - I just remember reading that fruit (especially citrus) was not a good mix with protein whey.

Well now I know better!

I think peanut butter + Whey + Chocolate Milkshake powder sounds good!
