I think two teaspoons is around four grams? That would be my guess. Almost nothing.

Just double it to protein.

2:1 carb to pro

Also remember that dex weighs more than most protein powders. So, depending on how exact you want to be, you might not want to simply use one scoop pro and two scoops dex (typical protein scoops). But then again, it may not matter to you how exact your ratio is. Just something to think about.
