Post-Workout shake

[enacer420nj]

I understand that post workout, your carbs are important as well as protein. I use ISOpure Zero Carb Vanilla. 50grams of protein in 2 scoops...Post workout Ive been mixing it with about 10 ounces of orange juice (tastes like orange creamsicle!) to get my sugar and protein after the gym....Is this alright?

You want a good carb source.
If you are going to add sugars Dextrose is the way to go.
You don't want to use low glycemic sugar in your shake.

50 grams of protein/30 grams of carbs is average. Try whey + dextrose...

I was looking for a YES or NO if the orange juice is the way to go....

oj is fructose, not optimal, bthe liver has to convert fructose to glucose, dex=glucose

So OJ is good if i dont have dextrose....if i pickup some dex, says 1.25 TSP is 4 grams? whose gonna measure that to 30?

FIGURE ABOUT 1/4 CUP OF MOST POWDERS WILL YIELD ABOUT 25-30 GRAMS SLIGHTLY OVERFILLED.

1/2 cup filled level will yield right round 50 grams or so.

like stated above oj is not your best choice but if u have nothing else then its better than nothing, u can go to the groc store and get powdered gatorade, which has a fair amount of dex in it, not pure but far better than oj

No! OJ is not good. Just buy dextrose. It's cheap and easy to get.
