Yes. Whether it's before or after shouldn't matter too much. Studies have shown a favorable spike in hormones whether protein is taken before or after a workout. Remember that protein takes some time to digest (1-2 hours for whey), so if you have a protein shake just before you a workout it'll only be at maximumabsorption just as you're finishing.

Will protein effect you the same if you eat it one hour after working out?

Should you exercise before or after a meal?
Exercise should be performed in the morning on empty stomach and it is good to have light breakfast after exercise. One should also remember that don't just rest after meals. It is good to have slow walk for 10-15 minutes after meals. Very important thing about exercise, which I always convey to all my patients is "How much exercise you do is not important but how regular you do is more important". Do not give a break to exercise even if it is your own wedding day. Generally, it's best to exercise after meals. Your body needs readily available energy to burn in order to perform well and exercising when you're hungry and deprived of energy isn't the best. On the other hand, exercising strenuously immediately after a meal could cause cramps or an upset stomach- it's probably best to wait a half hour or more after a meal before exercising. If you are about to exercise, a light snack such as a protein-enriched granola bar might be best if it's a while before your next meal.
