I notice they bill them as the 'perfect' ratio. I think all of them were 2:1 (or thereabout) except the choc which is 4:1.
I finished my choc milk and Im just adding whey to milk post workout now.

That way you could use a high grade cacoa and get the benefits of chocolate rather than relying on a manufacturer who in all likelihood is going to have to cut a few corners to make a profit?
You could also use high grade raw sugar or honey to sweeten while adding some whey to boost the protein content if desired.
This of course defeats the quick and easy approach.

Scott wrote:what nutrients do you need from the sugar at post workout? is the goal not just creating an insulin spike, whether you use dextrose, honey, jelly babies or whatever.
does the cost of the more expensive alternatives justify what you actually get from using the more expensive ingredients?
I reckon overall you're as well with a ripe tesco value banana @ 25p.
