sugar spike foods help

[dpart01]

been trying to use the search feature for 2 days now as I know this has probably been answered but all it keeps doing is timing out on me, so hopefully someone can help me out here...

What are some good things to get a post workout spike? I read this is good for absorbing nutrients and such?

preferably drinks or such, I think I read dextrose is best for this?

what are some good sources?

is eating fruit or drinking juices or ribena or some such an ok alternative?

Here is a good article that answers your question very well. Basically, you should buy some whey protein isolate, dextrose, maltodextrin, and possibly some hydrolized whey (this is optional). All can be ordered online. One place to check is proteinfactory.com

Powdered gatorade or bottle version can also be used if you dont want to order dextrose powder.

Honestly, dextrose is probally cheaper though.
