Post workout carbs

Sorry forgot to mention I'm bulking. Would it be better to just eat low gi carbs straight after the workout?

When I was 'bulking' (actually more of an add lean mass plan than a straight bulk), my PWO meal was 1 cup of oats (in my shake) and an apple, so I had a little of both - but the majority was complex, and the simple was mainly fructose, as opposed to BS.

I wouldn't be overly concerned with GI values unless you're eating carbs by themselves (and you shoudn't be). Eating proteins and/or fats along with carbs alters the GI value. What you should be more interested in is GL - Glyc emic Load. Look it up!
