Training Nutrition - Mikey's Banana Bread
This is a great, quick, easy recipe with a mix of high and low GI carbs from the honey and oats to give you energy on the longer and higher intensity sessions, where you need some extra carb. It contains plenty of protein from the yoghurt and eggs to aid recovery toward the end of the ride and preventing any muscle breakdown. In addition the cinnamon is a great antioxidant that reduces inflammation for those sore legs!
Great one to rustle up today for the big weekend sessions or a mega healthy snack to go along with a cuppa
