When’s the Best Time to Drink a Shnack Protein Shake

When to Drink Your Shnack Protein Shake

Shnack makes fuelling your body simple - no prep, no blender, just a clean, plant-based protein shake ready when you are. But does timing make a difference? Here’s how to get the most out of every can, whether you’re training, working, or on the move.

Before a Workout: Light, Easy Energy

Having a Shnack about 30 to 60 minutes before exercise gives your body an easy-to-digest source of plant protein without weighing you down. It’s perfect for quick morning workouts or training between meals when you don’t want a heavy snack.

After a Workout: Recovery and Repair

The hour after training is when your body begins rebuilding muscle tissue. A Shnack post-workout delivers the protein your muscles need for recovery in a convenient, ready-to-drink format.

Between Meals: Stay Full, Stay Focused

A Shnack is more than a gym drink. Its balanced oat base and protein content make it ideal for steady energy through the day. Use it to bridge the gap between meals or as a healthier alternative to sugary drinks and snacks.

How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?

Most adults benefit from 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, depending on activity level. That’s roughly 80 to 140 grams daily for most people. With 17 grams per can, one or two Shnacks a day helps you meet your goals easily and naturally.

Consistency Is Key

When you drink your shake matters, but consistency matters more. Building a habit of one Shnack a day - before training, after, or between meals - keeps your nutrition on track without overthinking it.
