Poor Man's Carb Mix ?
I need some suggestions for a carb mix with my shakes. I usually use GlycoCarb, its about 45g of carbs 1 scoop. Other than that i throw fruit in with it too. What are some other cheap methods of gettin alot of carbs into a shake ?

I wish I had a hard time getting carbs in...lol
I consume lots of brown rice, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes. More then enough carbs in just a serving or two of each. Actually had someone give me a recipe for a sweet potatoe shake. It's good!! Tastes like pumpkin pie.

Grind up a cup of oatmeal in a coffee grinder until it is like dust. This is 54g of healthy cheap carbs for sure!

oats in a pro shake is the best. a cup is a little much though.
a half cup with vanilla powder and a banana is really fucking good.
the grinders work great too. you can also grind brown rice which doesnt taste as good but doesnt bloat me as much.

True Protein lets you customize a carb blend. There waxy maize is around $3.50/lb (which is dirt cheap). You could mix dextrose, waxy maize and maltodextrin from them and you would a very inexpensive ultimate pre and post workout carb blend.

Oatmeal is cheap
Fruit is cheap and provides vitamins and minerals as well.
Waxy maize is cheap
In general, carbs are dirty cheap. It's the protein (meats) that cost $$$
