I'm just wondering

[Ian Coe]

If I combined some whey protein with a serving of a sports drink (I have some carbohydrate/energy drink power kicking around), would that be effectively the same as a protein:carb sports drink (aka accelerade).


I bought some accelerade and I'm just wondering to use up my old stuff if I could do this and make it a bit better.

Ya, that's cool. Spiking a bottle of Gatorade (or similar drink with fast digesting carbs) with 5-10g of whey would be about the same as Accelerade. I think Accelerade has a couple more vitamins in it but essentially it's the sugars and protein your after.

good good

I tried it today btw

Vanilla protein and orange carb drink, whilst not completely vomit inducing........does taste odd indeed
