MIXING PROTEIN BLENDS?

[BOOMSHAKER]

Sometimes depending whats on sale I buy something for myself and something for the Mrs. It usually turns out to be a jug of Whey and a jug of Casein. Is there any benefits or disadvantages to taking a scoop of each (different companies) and putting them in the same shake? That way you have 1/2 casein and 1/2 whey.

I do that with my protein and creatine,1 scoop of creatine and 3 scoops of protein each into the blender then down the hatch,works 4 me so I think that mixing is OK.

Some of the best, most expensive protein supps I've seen include protein from varied sources with a quality whey base, so I would say yeah.

The more variety of sources, the better blend of amino acids.....right?

mixing whey and casien just gives you a staggered release of protien.

Hey BOOM, oh boy it's gonna be a good week!!! Nice one bud. Yea mixing is fine, it kinda gives you the best of both worlds. Fast protein for aftere training and steady slow release for later. Throw in some carbs and you have a good little meal replacement.

I usually have whey isolate throughout the day and before bed i use a whey blend that has casien in it.

Anyone tried that Pro complex protein from optimum? Im using it right now and Im adding extra creatine and glutamine with it. It seems to taste ok anyway.
