    Mixing dextrose & whey in same shake??

    I know that its good to take a 2:1 ratio of simple carbs to Protien. I'm new to the use of dextrose thouth. I live quite a way from the gym(20 min.) So i bought a niffty little protien shaker. now is it ideal to but both scoops of protien and dex in the same shake. this brand of dextrose is called "creatine express by scitec nutrition" it has 75 grams of dex and 10 of creatin in 2 scoops. Does this even sound like a good brand?

    To answer your first question, yes, drink them in the same shake.

    As for your brand of dextrose and creatine, I've never heard of it but my guess is you're probably paying more than if you bought the two seperately. And you'll probably be more sure of the ingredients.

    i was reading one of the cutting reads (not sticky but similar) and it said to take dex/simple sugar immediately after workout and then 10 mins later take protein. Any reason for that?

    The cutting sticky does not say that. The correct way is to just mix the protein and dextrose with water and drink it within 15 minutes of the end of your workout. I don't know why anyone would want to drink it separately anyway, dextrose w/ whey is the best tasting drink / meal of the day when cutting IMO. Just mix them together and add a good ammount of water unless you have an xtreme sugar tooth, and enjoy.
