Looking for a post workout carb

[jjc89]

Absolutely hate dextrose, so disgusting. Was using vitargo for a while but it's quite pricey. Can anyone recomment a fairly inexpensive alternative?
Thanks.

I thought I heard somewhere around this forum that waxy maize isn't legit...

Why not just buy the Gatorade powder and have a cup of Gatorade. Has dextrose in it, high GI. Carbo Gain is very cheap.

From the UK, don't think we have gatorade powder here.

Low fart pop tarts, any kids cereal plain or mixed with non-fat milk, anything else along these lines. I used to use gainers PWO or buy a protein powder and mix in dextrose but now I eat my carbs PWO

[Flex500]

both very cheap, healthy, convenient...and tasty!




























**crossing my fingers nobody responds with "but the insulinz won't release fast enough with those complex carbs!"

hahaha...whole food takes longer to digest than powder, and you won't hit the anabolic window in time and the gainz won't come...lol

If you got the money, MP's Recon is pretty legit

Hoping you aren't serious. Nutrient timing is irrelevant, along with the anabolic window theory.

any low fat and fructose carb food you like brobrah

I also noticed I digest my shakes much better when I eat something with them as opposed to a protein shake mixed with a powder carb.

oats

[longhorns_p]

spray butter, cinnamon, brown sugar (splenda blend)

oats

i also use oats.

[rpcvKR]

I used Carbo Gain for a while but switched to grinding up quick oats and throwing that in my shake. It's cheap and effective. My gains are just as good if not better and overall I feel better after having a post workout shake with oats compared to the malto.

Bananas. Simple and taste great

Dextrose is just plan glucose which what I use. If it's too sweet try Maltodextrin which is another polymer of glucose.

stevia

stevia is not a carbohydrate.

I'd say raw, bulk, oats are cheaper and healthier than Quaker.

both these together in 1 giant bowl.

thanks for all the suggestions, although I am looking for a powder, not proper food - something I can just mix in with whey. I get that bananas and oats is probably the better option but hey, call me lazy or a broscientist or whatever ha.

put oats in the whey

OP, even with your idea about using a powder, it isn't ,uch work to use a coffee grinder and, say on the weekend, grind up enough oats into powder for the week. Then you can just use a scooper and add to your shakes.

May even be able to just use oat flour and not have the mess of grinding.

I may actually do this snorkelman. One last question. One cup of ground oats would not equal one cup of normal, would it?

I mean a cup as in the cups used to measure out whey etc.
