    If you are using oats then don't worry about malto... but I would also use some other things in it.... so do something like:
    60g oats (40g carbs)
    2 tbs dextrose (30g carbs)
    1 cup skim milk (12g carbs)
    1 large banana (130g worth of nana) (28g carbs)

    That is 110g carbs.


    (ps: don't forget to add the whey).

    dextrose = corn sugar

    I think you can find it at local beer and wine making type stores

    In the supermarket you will find it labelled 'brewers sugar' in the section where you can buy things like apple cider and ginger beer.... (at least you can in Australia).

    If not - you can get it at health food stores and chemists (glucose powder) you can also get it at supplement stores and body-building stores.

    among other things, dextrose shuttles protein to your muscles, making it an effective component of a PostWorkOut shake.

    i like to use vitargo, but it is spendy. look on the net for it, i usually mix half a serving of it with half a serving of dextrose. because the vitargo is about 45.00 for 4.18 pounds. works but not that well for the price.
