well the whole point to taking post workout protein mix is to have the quickest form of protein absorb straight into your system to aid right away in recovery and growth so it would be good right after workout.

as far as eating a good meal, you shouldnt eat atleast 2ish hours before you got to bed at least not a full meal like your talking about because the extra calories will get stored up as fat during sleep. usually if one takes a protein mix right after workout, that person will eat a real meal about an hour after that. so if you know that you arent going to bed until at least 11 then go for it with another meal.
