Kyle,

Insulin spike is the goal before, during and after strength training if you are trying to build muscle. Reason being, the glucose from the dates drives the protein into your muscles faster than proetin alone, and ofcourse nothing at all.

If fat loss is your goal I still suggest the same mixture just a half serving at each.

Check out an article I wrote on Nutrient Timing, http://www.nathanejackson.com/fitness-tips/nutrient-timing.htm

Hi,

Anyone here based in downtown Toronto? I am looking for some people to train with for a triathlon and some other multisport events. I'm an avid runner, cyclist and yogi but I also do lots of other sports and love all outdoor adventure sports.

Nate,

Have you considered having a few tablespoons of Coconut Oil in lieu of the dates for pre-workout? (Cold pressed, extra virgin, organic of course). Same number of calories without the insulin spike.

I would think soaked dates would be best post-workout (when an insulin spike is the goal).

Ted,

The stuff that floats is most likely the BCAA's. I have never found them to dissolve well in anything, and they taste like S***.

Glutamine on the other hand dissolves very nicely.

Just drank my first cup of it 2min ago and I LOVE IT, I actually liked the taste so much I wanted to mix another drink just for the flavour...oh my!

What's the white stuff that floats @ the top though? I can't seem to mix it in...could it be the glutamine?

Ted, that is what I do along with a few soaked dates. Depending on your body type and goals a 3:1 carbs to protein is ideal.

Great product....love it!

I guess if I'm going to be doing a heavy weight training workout I should mix my Vega Sport with this new Vega sport protein so that I can the mental and physical boost from the caffeine and what not in the original Vega sport seeing as the new vega sport protein is only really an alkalizing protein and recovery drink mix...

RawPeron - The glutamine in VSPP is sourced from glucose. No corn or soy and most definitely not animal.

I was curious if anyone knew the source of the glutamine in the Vega SPP. I know it can come from a number of source from animal to plant and I haven't found any glutamine that I can track its source too. Does anyone know?
