For post workout, you want to create an insulin spike, with protein and BCAA's in your system (and NO fat). So to do that, a good way is to take a fast absorbing protein (isolate and concentrate - pure isolates are rare and expensive) with a handful of raisins. Even better would be a hydrolysate, but this would taste nasty on its own. So there are post workout supplements like Universal Torrent and Biotest Surge which take hydrolysate, add BCAA's, and a form of carbohydrate to induce an insulin spike (usually glucose and maltodextrin, sometimes waxy corn starch).

I have been taking Torrent for a while, but when I run out I think I'll just switch to a regular ON whey (which is isolate + concentrate) and a handful of raisins and BCAA caps.
