If it's got a decent amount of Carbs in it, you'll be fine, but if not, it won't work as well as one that does.

Basically don't get hung up on stuff like that for now. If you wanted other kinds of regular supps like Vit C, Synthetic D, CLA, Multivit, etc etc, then fine, but bodybuilding supps, I'd stick to a basic Protein and Carbs thing, and don't sweat the supps, because a lot of them are too expensive and / or pointless, and in some cases better for when you're good and solid, and they will work better, like Creatine for example.

I use Optimum Nutrition whey powder, as well. It has only three carbs in it. I usually blend it with 40g of dry oats and 21g of honey to boost carbs. As Boss stated, you need the carbs, but not a lot of supps. Just have a clean carb source with your shake, such as oats, rice, wheat pasta, etc...Anything other than fruit, and you'll be fine.

i only blend with banana and some milk...

p/s...wahh thanks u all

That's a waste of Banana Carbs though, as they won't digest too well like that. You might as well have the Banan first, then drink the shake about 10-15 minutes later, to improve Banana digestion.
