Ride Food :: Sweet Potato Chips

.
This isn’t exactly a recipe; it’s more of a snack idea with a million variations on it.  I’m in the business of making yummy, healthy treats to eat on the bike.  These have saved me on more than one occasion. This spring, I’ve embarked on two long, but not outrageously long, mountain bike races in the 15-40 hour range. These routes have had minimal re-supply options so I’ve started both with all the food I’d need, plus ‘emergency’ calories. When [...]

Ride Food: Banana Biscuits

.
There is one thing I really miss about ‘normal’ eating since I committed to the Paleo Diet: pastries.  As a bike rider, there’s nothing better than riding to some location, stopping at the local coffee shop and buying a cup of joe accompanied with a giant scone or muffin.   I’m not saying I never do this anymore, but I try not to make it a multi-week occurrence like it used to be. Thus, I’m presented with a problem. If [...]

Ride Food :: Coffee-laced Almond Cookies

.
Over the years of making home-made ride snacks, I’ve created some verifiable disasters… bars that wouldn’t stick together, imitation Lara bars wrapped in foil that would subsequently explode and coat everything in its vicinity with goop, and some combinations of ingredients that just simply didn’t taste good.

Chocolate Yam Cookies

.

But I hate shelling out the money to actually buy them.  So I started making my own.  Reading the ingredient labels of pre-existing products and trying to recreate their [...]

“Shake Please” – The Best Recovery Smoothie Ever

.
Recovery Drinks are best consumed right after intense activity.  They provide your body with protein, vitamins and carbohydrates to kick start the rebuilding process. It is not only important for building stronger muscles but also helps to tackle that intense hunger that can show up instantaneously, causing poor meal choices and overeating.  And if you are like me… severe grumpiness! “Shake Please” is my own personal concoction of frozen fruity recovery goodness.  It’s so good that even Mr. I-hate-recovery-drinks has [...]
