Low GI Carb Powder?

[nitrous]

I have a shake PWO with protein and waxy maize... but say i want to have a shake in the middle of the day which isnt close to my workout.. what low GI carb powders are out there that you guys recommend? anything specific to look for?

mix it with oatmeal

I've considered it but i think that would taste a little chunky for me lol.. any other options?

You could pre cook the oatmeal or maybe try rice flour or something like that, I dont know how that would turn out though.

[jack08son]

not really that i can think of, like ironwarrior said rice flour but that doesnt sound to appealing. i would try the oatmeal, mix it with your protein and put it in the freezer or your cooler and let it set for a bit and then drink. if you're not cutting then i put milk and even a raw egg to bind it together, mixes great and tastes pretty good.

ya that sounds kinda gross lol.. i was thinking something like this:

As soon as I wake up I have a protein shake with 1/2 cup of oatmeal mixed in, tastes real good. I also down a banana and gatorade powder mixed w/water. A couple hours later it's egg time.

Put the oatmeal in a food processor, grind it into powder, and then mix it with the whey.

What I understand WMS is not as fast as one might hope it would be...

We have one company in Sweden making Carbosyn that compares quite well with vitargo at the third of the price.

vitargo carboloader 24 mOsmol/kg
carbosyn 37 mOsmol/kg
maltodextrin 80-110 mOsmol/kg

im happy with my WMS... anyways i tried processing up the oats and putting that in the shake and it isnt too bad i can deal with it.. thanks guys

I know that Shocker Nut has a complex carb mix but if your doing it for post WMS is ideal. you would need a fast carbs to move proteins into yor muscles fast
