Also, here are two quick recipes...
For my workouts - Sweet Potato Shake (when I need a dose of carbs):
Bunch of Ice
2-3 cups H20
5 scoops of vanilla whey
4 large sweet potatoes (pre-boiled and I use a mix of orange and purple varieties)
A few pinches of cinnamon
Blend all that together.
This is essentially a liquid pumpkin pie. It is absolutely awesome. I drink about 1/3 before I lift and then crush the rest afterwards.
As a snack - Vanilla/Coconut Frosting (I eat fairly low-carb outside of WO times):
2 scoops of vanilla whey
2 tbsp of melted coconut oil
Melt the coconut oil, put it in a bowl, and then add your whey. Mix it together and add small doses of water as needed until it mixes into a paste. Pop it into the freezer for 5-10 minutes and it'll come out like a frosting. Eat that plain or put it on top of something. Its BOMB. You can also sub your favorite nut butter (almond, macadamia, cashew are all winners) for the coconut oil. Equally awesome.
