Honey post-workout?

[Jeus]

I think it's rather precious how everyone buys into the whole 'oh ANYTHING you can buy at the grocery's bad for you, you really need the little chemical carb we're selling'

I'm having a banana, an apple and a spoonfull of honey on my post workout protein shake for years and I've not noticed any huge disasters on my physique. Geez!

im starting to feel the same way, i've been taking every supp it seems like for the past year or so and im sure not growing like I want too.

I wish I knew for certain that protein is worth while
because im getting sick of buying protein powder every month on a college buget

I figured it like SM did, simple carbs are simple carbs.

I just keep the philosophy simple (no pun intended). Sometimes one can drive him/herself nuts trying to be too scientific.

Ive also read somewhere that theirs enzymes in honey that also make it a good option post workout. I still do the dextrose thing, but i used to use honey and it worked good for me

The disadvantages of honey as far as fructose are probably balanced out by the extra nutrients. Go for it.

I use to buy a ton of stuff to help me out - now I buy whatever is on sale (creatine, protein powder, MRP's). I don't stick with one brand - I think they are all the same and do the same thing - and just stick with the basics - and I've noticed some gains with just 6 small meals a day and no extra pills and supplements.

I made a protein bar made of Honey, natural peanut butter and protein powder - would this be good for a post workout food or does it have to be a liquid post workout drink?

liquid is preferred because it is more easily absorbed by the body
