• i eat a vegan diet, i'm giving up refined sugar and most carbs.

    questions:
    1) what can i eat on rides to keep my energy levels up?

    2) what can i eat post ride or training that is high in protein?

    i'm a pro baker so making/baking my own whatevers won't be a problem, just thought i'd ask for any pointers.

    do all (whey-free) protein powders have sugar in them? is plain hella gross? what can i put in soy / pea protein to make it not gross? talk2me. chrzzz

  • 1) home made rice cakes (I'll send you a recipe), bananas, dates stuffed with almond/any kind of nut butter, flapjacks, anything sweetened with either raw cane sugar or sugar alternative - date syrup, agave, maple syrup..

    2) a big ass smoothie. My favourite is coconut milk, frozen bananas, spinach, almond butter, cacao nibs or chia seeds.

    I use a sprouted protein mix which is a mix of different things but check out Sun Warrior, the original flavour isn't too bad and their flavoured varieties are sweetened with Stevia. I would stay away from soy protein because it's generally an isolate.

  • Have you tried Naked bars? Pretty sure they are all vegan, low carbs and they taste good. Very convenient too (although some of the recipes posted sound delicious).
