Surge is convenient and great-tasting, but it's expensive. I wasn't able to find small quantities of maltodextrin for sale relatively cheap, so I make up my own PWO.
For PWO shake I use one of juice (or milk/kefir/yogurt/water) and whey + 1/2 energy bar (if not using juice). How good would honey be in a shake (to eliminate the bar/juice)? I love the taste of honey but don’t eat it very rarely.
Typical honey analysis[15]
* Fructose: 38%
* Glucose: 31%
* Sucrose: 1%
* Water: 17%
* Other sugars: 9% (maltose, melezitose)
* Ash: 0.17%
How good is fructose/glucose PWO? I’m not looking for optimum - 80% of optimum (given convenience and taste) is good enough.
