I believe it takes around 80g of glucose or dextrose to create a true insulin spike.

I’ve been drinking a pint of chocolate milk post workout. This is about 60 grams of carbs. So is this not enough carbs for a post workout drink?
Well it depends on the type of carbs in the drink. If predominantly lactose, then I don’t think it’s going to cause an actual ‘spike’.
Besides, you wouldn’t want to spike insulin in the presence of fat, if you want to stay lean IMO.

Gotcha, most of the carbs are sugars from the actual chocolate mix and I try to drink the fat free versions when I can.
