There is an optimal time, around 20-30min after training. I wouldn't wait past 1 hour.
 
this myth of protein timing is derived from the 90's insulin use being started where guys would lift, inject insulin then chase down a shake and meal.

the truth is no such thing exists. just complete bro science to sell protein shakes to people
 
What matters more is your preworkout meal. High protein and whatever your macros allow ~2hours or less before workout. Chicken etc will hold you over till the post workout shake. If you eat right it wont matter if its 5 minutes or an hour. Obv if you eat 10 mins before workout your workout will suffer.
 
I dont eat till after I train, I like going on no food in my stomach and I eat 30 minutes after before work
