Energy for Training & Race Day- No More Gels

4/21/2016

No more gels- the perfect healthy replacement 

Dependant on the length of your training is the quantity you need to prepare. One serve contains 20-25g of carbohydrates and 5g of fat, so please make multiple serves based on your exercise duration and fuelling requirements. ​A carbohydrate intake in the range of 30-60grams per hour, after the first 1-1.5 hour works for most endurance athletes

This recipe can also be used like a commercial liquid fuel on the bike. To make a “multi-hour” bottle simply multiply the recipe by the number of serves you require and add enough water to reach your desired consistency and taste. Please trial this in training – remember, nothing new happens on race day.




​Ingredients
 
  • 2 teaspoons rice malt syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon MCT oil or organic coconut oil
  • 1 kiwi fruit or 1/2 cup pineapple/berries or 1/2 pear 
  • 1 teaspoon lemon squeeze
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt
  • Splash of hot water
Method
  1. In your blender, mix ingrediants until smooth.
  2. For a smooth consistency pour through a strainer or just pour directly into a gel flask and seal well.
