Haha.. I had to add water otherwise it would have been like a yoghourt! It was nice though!

I actually tried this today and it was very nice. Had to add water though as the juice from the oranges was not enough... Perhaps I need bigger oranges!

I have been under the understanding that fructose is not ideal for post-workout sugars/carbs because the majority of it is stored as liver glycogen as opposed to muscle glycogen (which is what we all ideally want after a workout). I used to eat bananas and other fruits with my post-workout shake until I came across information that suggested fructose isn't ideal for post-workout. Glucose, sucrose (table sugar) or any corn-derived carbohydrate is ideal for glycogen storage in the muscle rather than the liver.

Of course, for an insulin spike, fructose will do! It is just less likely to replenish glycogen storage in muscle tissue compared to glycogen storage in the liver.
