A healthier post workout option??

[hubby]

Ive been into the low glycemic food type diet for many years now,the only time i eat high GI foods are post workout in maybe liquid form,Lucozade,Gatorade etc and maybe a weekly cheat meal,it concerns me raising insulin with all of the supposed dangers of sugar,i train alot in various sports so it isnt just 3-4 times a week with weight lifting,sometimes it can be every day,sometimes twice a day,is there an alternative?maybe a high GI fruit drink welches purple grape juice{full of anti oxidants}?or something slightly healthier on the system???does any body else have opinions on this?Thankyou in advance

I like bananas (any fruit for that matter), milk, LBAs...

Heck forget juices and sports drinks...save a ton of money and grow better and healthier with clean whole foods.

I like jelly beans or gummy bears along with a whey protein shake. Over the years I have had plenty of granola crunchers look at me with distain and tell me how bad it is for me to eat that stuff. But since I never go much above 10% body fat even offseason and I'm carrying one hell of a lot more muscle than them, I'm not too likely to take their advice seriously.

Simple carbs are just another tool that can be used to reach my bodybuilding goals, and just like fats they are nowhere near as evil as most people believe.

1) Honey
2 )Natural Jams
3) or dont worry about the high GI and eat oats with blueberries

No need to make this harder than it needs to be. Just get some carbs in with protein and low fat, and you will be fine. As long as you do not plan on doing an event or training of the exact same muscle directly afterward in a matter of hours (sports, etc), then anything will work.

Whether it be whole foods or liquids....find what works for you
