I dont agree with much of this. Fructose is a poor choice post workout as it is less insulinotropic, and does not properly
replenish muscle glycogen. Conlee (1987) concluded: " From these results we conclude that fructose is a poor nutritional precursor for rapid glycogen restoration in muscle after exercise, but that both glucose and fructose promote rapid accumulation of glycogen in the liver." Your body is receptive to carbohydrates post workout, however dextrose would be a better source.
Also, why does your body have a hard time digesting supplements? It has a very easy time actually. Whey protein is digested properly within minutes and is an essential ingredient in the post workout shake, you think the body has a harder time digesting whey protein than it does a chicken breast? Murray (1987) suggests that "postexercise aspiration of stomach contents reveals that solutions containing up to 10% carbohydrate empty at rates similar to plain water."
A shake with a fast absorbing whey protein, high GI carb dextrose (and/or maltodextrin) and lots of water is the way to go immediaty after, then a well balanced meal an hour-2 after that, such as chicken and brown rice.
