Make Your Own GU part deux

[Dru]

I know there was the other thread about making your own GU out of brown rice syrup and DIY flavourings. But I started to wonder, why not just use maple syrup instead of rice syrup? I imagine it has more simple sugars and would provide more short energy and a sugar crash but do any nutritionists care to comment one way or another?

Maple syrup?! Whadda we look like, a buncha Canadian Moose Mounties or sumpin'?

 

For reals, though, maple syrup has a sort of intrusive flavor, yes? And brown rice syrup, one must imagine, is probably pretty anonymous, flavor-wise, as it's in everything these days.

Maple syrup is yummy. And i have a big jug of organic maple syrup here. It's gotta be good for more than pancakes and coffee
