You don't HAVE to take dextrose but a dextrose/maltrodextrin blend PWO has been proven optimal.
I myself take Gatorade & Whey PWO.

A banana is pretty good for this too. The sugar in bananas has a faster absorbtion rate than any other fruit.

I know the post workout shake is the most important but I always thought it was a good idea to have some protein in your system during the workout as well.
