Re: Making The Best Post-Workout Protein Shake?

Can you be more specific? Does your shake use water? Because I cannot imagine taking a concoction of milk/whey to the gym and drinking it warm in the middle of my workout!? Do you change up the ratio when taking it with you to the gym (it sounds like it)... if so, to what extent do you alter it from the aforementioned ratios? [/ QUOTE ] Lukewarm milk + whey... skanktastic. No, I usually will put the whey + dextrose in my shaker and bring it dry... when I get there, I'll fill it up with cold water and give it a good shake. Another alternative is to bring the powder in a baggie. I keep the ratio the same (2:1 :: carbs  rotein) but bump the portion size up. One huge benefit of using dextrose/malto in your shakes is that they do a great job of masking a lot of the whey stench. I've had some friends who don't work out try my shake and say how good it tastes.

My current shake (which is really good btw) consists of: 1 Scoop Optimum Nutrition Whey Powder; Vanilla 6 Cubes of Ice 1 Banana 4 Blueberries 1 Tablespoon Pure Honey 1 Heaping Tablespoon Plain Yogurt (from skim) 1 Heaping Tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter (w/1000mg Fish Oil added) 1 Tablespoon Wheat Germ 1 Handful of Plain/Raw Oatmeal 8-12 Almonds Ground Cinnamon; Random amount sprinkled in Add skim milk until 3/4 of blender full Blend for 2 min Once blended its 44+ ozs. I drink it immediately upon returning home from the gym. I usually eat a real meal 2 hours later when hunger returns. My questions are: 1) What, if anything is missing from this shake? 2) Do you disagree with any of the ingredients? [b] FWIW: I'm a buck 62 @ 5'9 and in college I was measured @ 165lbs/7% BF... these lame electroscales that calculate bodyfat (which always put me 2-3% higher than calipers did... something about body chemical makeup can alter results of bioelectric blah blah) say that I am ~15% BF right now. Ideally I'd like to reach 170lbs @ 7% BF while I'm still young and chasing ass... [/ QUOTE ] OVERKILL

Re: Making The Best Post-Workout Protein Shake?
Skunk nailed it as mentioned previously, but I just wanted to add that if you're having a hard time finding dextrose, or if the order is gonna be a few days, you can eat smarties with your PWO shake. If you look at the ingredient list, you'll see that smarties are food-colored dextrose tablets.

FYI, cinnamon lowers blood sugar. [/ QUOTE ] I think I saw something like that on wiki... is this good or bad for post-work out shakes should be the question...

[/ QUOTE ] Well, the general consensus is that you want a lot of high GI carbohydrates in post-workout drinks. I think Cinnamon would antagonize the benefits of the high GI carbohydrates.
