Creatine Recipes

In powder form, creatine is very stable. However, when it’s in a liquid form (or mixed with liquids) for a long time, the creatine will start to break down, which is useless to your body and muscles and will simply be excreted. So the key to using creatine in recipes is to consume it as soon as possible after making it.

As well, it has been shown that taking your creatine with carbohydrates (sugars) or protein and carbohydrates will increase the creatine uptake to your muscles (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/animalpak22.htm – see ‘creatine needs to be taken with grape juice’) So that being said, you can add your creatine to pretty much any recipe you would add your protein powder to! You just have to be sure to eat or drink it ASAP. Here are some delicious creatine recipes.
