Is it good to have a protein snack after a cardio workout?
After I do a weight training or resistance band workout, I will make a shake with Greek yogurt and skim milk or light Slim Fast shake (usually 20-30 g protein and around 200 calories).
After doing cardio only is it still important to get your protein? If I do cardio only I kind of hate filling up half of the calories I would have burned right after the workout. Should I make a protein shake after cardio, or is a light low-fat yogurt good enough? Or should I have anything at all right away?
10 points for best answer...thanks!

Yes it's fine to have protein post-cardio. When you're doing carido you are still working out your muscles, so protein is still required for muscle building and repair. Your muscles will be hungry don't let them starve!
Cheers.
