I'm on 2nd month of insanity workout. 5'1 130lbs, how many grams of protein i need in my fruit/veggie shake after workout and a day for recovery ?

Min 5 grams after : Your post workout shake should have a minimum of 5 grams of protein and up to 30 grams is reasonable. There are different theories regarding protein intake/day, but if in a muscle-building stage, 80-90 grams should be sufficient for your weight.
