Taking supplements when resting?

I have recently started using this:

(i was going to get some creatine or something more serious but was scared off by the huge list of possible side-affects)

It's marketed as a "sports recovery" mix, containing carbohydrate and protein. It suggests taking twice a day, but is only marketed as a "recovery" drink, implying to me that it should only be drank straight after a workout. Here's some specific information about it:

(per 75g serving)
Energy: 1236 kJ / 291 kcal
Protein: 17.9 g
Carbs: 54.2 g
Fat: 0.3 g

Should i still drink this when i'm resting?
Is it as good as other supplements or is there something more suitable that i should switch to next time?

Oh..and my goal is to build muscle mass.

Cheers.

the ingredients dont look anything special

Sucrose, Whey Protein Isolate (from milk) (30%), Citric Acid, Flavourings, Anti-caking agent (Tricalcium Phosphate), Colour (Beta Carotene), Anti-foaming Agent (E900).

i go the cheap route and get a 5lb container of whey and a tub of dextrose to use after my workouts. does pretty much the same thing. :)
 
What I take everday, is EAS whey protein mixed in with 8 oz skim milk every morning and night when I get home from the gym.
 
no i only take it after my workouts because thats really the only time you need something to that effect. now aevans410 whey/milk shake can be taken on rest days.
