Post-Workout Drink Critique Please?!

[Jugghead]

I'm currently using the following as a post-workout drink:

24oz Gatorade (48g Carb)
1 cup frozen berries(17g Carb)
2 scoops whey protein blend (44g pro)
2 scoops Creatine/Glutamine/Taurine blend(5g/3g/2g) (9g carbs)
5g Glutamine powder

I drink this immediately after workout, then eat a solid meal about 90minutes later. I'm 200lbs @20%bf. Is this adequate?

How tall are you???

I'm not a big fan of multi-carb (solid and liquid) form carbs. Stick with liquid carb for better absorb. Protein in my opinion isn't enough. Especially Whey Protein... Try Isolate for faster absorb.

are you bulking or cutting?

If dieting, drop the fruit or keep it, but use less gatorade. You only want around 40-50g carbs

replace the gatorade with water
cut the berries
lose the creatine/glutamine/taurine blend
add something like dextrose or waxy maize

"lose the creatine/glutamine/taurine blend. add something like dextrose or waxy maize"

why do you say this. I ask because I put the glutamine and a scoop of creatine in my protien for post workouts as well. I though the glutamine was good for muscle recovery and you wanted to take that after work outs.

Yeah, Forget Gatorade or anything with high fructose syrup in it!

Lose the fruit. Add dextrose with the gatorade or just with water. Also switch to WPI or even better would be HWPI.

i'd drop the berries and whey blend and put in 2 scoops waxy maize immediately post w/o ---> 30 minutes later i'd take the whey with another 2 scoops waxy maize ---> 60 minutes after, carb/protein meal.
