A good whey protein in water would do the trick to be honest.

If you're dieting and trying to lean out - this may surprise you but you may require 40-60grams. Dieting requires a substantial drop in overall carbohydrate consumption. As carbohydrates remain low, the body risks burning its own muscle tissue for fuel, so a higher protein intake, especially after training, protects against protein breakdown.

This compared to if your gaining mass, you'd need around 30-45grams as well as a higher Carbohydrate intake to stimulate insulin. When taking carbs after a workout you need less protein.
