Hit some Whey mixed with water within that first hour after you finish training.
Throw some carbs in there too—glucose is your best bet. I won't bore you with the details; everything is laid out clearly in this article on Post-Workout Recovery:

You can also take protein in the morning as a breakfast substitute. Just mix it with milk, some oats, and maybe a banana. That’s my routine. It doesn't matter if it's a gym day or not; it's just my breakfast. Throw it all in a blender, whip it up, and drink it. It's fast, and it actually feeds you.

It’s a solid protein, but man, it isn't cheap. They market this Whey Maxx as some top-tier stuff from Canada, but if you look at the amino profile, it doesn't really hold up. Still, the price point is decent enough.

I spent some time living in Vancouver and used that Maxx Essentials Whey Maxx all the time there. Personally, I think it's one of the better proteins out there, right up there with Optimum Nutrition.
