Rich Pianna was a big fan of eating real whole foods over taking supplements whenever possible, and it's with that in mind Real Carbs was created. Real Carbs is made from real whole foods using slow digesting low glycemic carb sources like sweet potatos, oats, yams, and blueberry fruit powder. This allowed 5% Nutrition to pack in 22 grams of carbs per serving with only 2 grams of sugar.
Mix 1 scoop with 10-12oz. cold water. As part of a busy lifestyle, Real Carbs can be consumed 1-3 times per day. On training days use it pre-workout and as part of your post workout shake. Real Carbs helps you meet your daily macronutrient requirements no matter how busy you are, especially if you mix it with a premium quality protein source.
