CBachelor17MemberOk, so on my CN, i use dextrose PWO and in-between meals to keep the spike going, and get my carbs in without having to shove even more food down. I use Gatorade sometimes because the flavor. But I am now creating my own "mix" on True Nutrition. Im curious if anyone has done this,Create a "mix" thats 100% dextrose, then just add a flavor. I have never purchased anything from true nutrition so I'm just trying to ensure that if i do that it will actually taste good haha.

GonnaBeGiantMemberYou could easily just buy plain dextrose and buy koolaid packets to it. I would hate to order a flavor of something and it tats like garbage.

CBachelor17MemberI know thats my concern, but honestly I ve been looking, and adding some digestive aids, and making it a nice chocolate banana flavor sounds like a pretty good set up for my CN. Kinda on the fence about it…. Have you ordered from true nutrition before? If so is there flavoring good? I'm thinking of going with the Natural Chocolate Banana, or something “Sweet” like that.

GonnaBeGiantMemberI only order the unsweetened chocolate with stevia. Haven't tried any others. I know Trevor just ordered peanut butter and said it was amazing. I've heard positive things about chocolate banana. I'd still order plain dextrose and but the flavor system they have so you can try them all, before you do a big purchase of one flavor ya know?

CBachelor17MemberYea I ordered small just in case. I went with Pure Dextrose, and added Carbohydrate Enzyme Complex w/electrolytes, flavored with Natural Chocolate Banana/Stevia. Only 1lb so if its horrible I'm only out $4.00. Thats a pretty good deal to be able to buy pure dextrose, and add a carb digestion aid which will help with the CN bloating. I went ahead and chose the one with electrolytes because it was the same price and i figured why not get a little hydration aid too? haha. I will post an update on how it tastes and works for me.

tzanghiParticipantI did this before with a banana flavor. It was good, but bitterly sweet. Might not be a favorite for everyone lol.

CBachelor17MemberAnything sweet is good to me, probably because I never eat sweets! Chocolate Banana is on the way, already thinkin up CN milkshakes, ice+my dextrose mix+water or skim milk=DELICIOUS haha

You're probably the right candidate for flavored dextrose, then lol

Richard SchmittModeratorGreat thread. I had planned on getting some bags of dextrose flavored with vanilla and chocolate. Even the whey with the enzymes.

CBachelor17MemberThanks, I'm pretty excited to try it out haha. I think it will make a great PWO shake mixed with my Isopure Vanilla as well.

Richard SchmittModeratorI like Dymatize because of GF and Lactose friendly. TN is good like that too
