Should I have protein powder before or after exercise?

Using your protein powder before or after workouts is a great time for it. Especially if you don't eat surrounding exercise, it can help improve recovery significantly. If you're trying to decide which time to go with, you can choose based on your preferences, or the time in which protein is usually missing in your diet. 

Generally though, emphasizing carbohydrates before your workout is helpful to fuel you through it. Protein is then singled out more so afterwards to recover and rebuild - but a similar concept can still apply to before workouts.
