Protein Timing: When’s the Best Time to Drink Your Protein?
Protein is essential for muscle growth, recovery, and overall health – but when you consume it can make a big difference. Whether you’re fuelling up for a workout, recovering after a training session, or just powering through the day, timing your protein intake can help you get the most from every sip.
Let’s explore the best times to drink JUCED – the UK’s first high-protein fruit juice – and why this refreshing, collagen-rich drink is perfect any time of day.
⏰ Pre-Workout: Fuel Up Without Feeling Heavy
Pre-workout nutrition is often overlooked – but getting light, easy-to-digest protein before training can protect your muscles and fuel your performance.
Traditional shakes can sit heavy in the stomach, causing bloating or sluggishness. In contrast, JUCED is light, hydrating, and packed with fast-absorbing collagen protein – making it the ideal pre-gym companion.
Benefits of drinking protein before a workout:
-
🔄 Prevents muscle breakdown (especially during strength or endurance sessions)
-
⚡ Provides sustained energy without sugar spikes or crashes
-
💧 Hydrates while fuelling muscles with essential amino acids
-
🧃 Won’t weigh you down – no thick, milky texture
💪 Post-Workout: Maximise Recovery & Muscle Growth
After exercise, your body enters a recovery mode. Muscles are broken down and need the right nutrients to rebuild stronger. That’s why protein post-workout is so critical.
JUCED delivers over 15g of high-quality bovine collagen protein in a fast-absorbing, hydrating format – helping your body bounce back quicker.
Why drink JUCED post-workout?
-
🛠️ Supports muscle tissue repair and growth
-
🧊 Rehydrates after sweat loss
-
😌 Reduces soreness and improves recovery time
-
🧬 Boosts collagen production for joints and tendons
✅ Bonus: Collagen protein is gentle on the stomach and won’t cause the bloating often linked to whey.
🌅 Morning or Midday: Daily Health, Energy & Wellness
Protein isn’t just for gym sessions – it’s a daily essential that supports everything from metabolism and satiety to skin health and digestion.
Whether you’re skipping breakfast (which we don’t recommend) or need a 3PM energy boost, JUCED is a smart, sugar-conscious alternative to milky shakes or sugary snacks.
Why protein in the morning or afternoon works:
-
🧠 Boosts mental focus and prevents energy dips
-
✨ Improves skin, hair & joint health via collagen
-
🍹 Satisfies hunger without heavy calories
-
🚫 No dairy, no crash, no hassle
JUCED fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle – gym or no gym.

FAQs
Is there a difference between collagen and whey protein for timing?

Can I replace meals with JUCED?
JUCED isn’t a meal replacement, but it’s a great addition to your diet as a protein-boosting snack or complement to light meals.
Does JUCED work on rest days?
Absolutely. Collagen supports joint, skin, and gut health – even when you’re not training.
