[Anonymous]

Decided its time to stop wasting money on energy bars and flapjacks.
Anyone got any good recipes?

Thats a good idea. I don't know any though - I geuss just use lots of banana honey and chocolate but I dont know how you would get it to mold together. If it was me I'd just press it all in some white bread thats what the pros seem to eat..(isn't it?) nutella and banana sandwiches or salmon and butter something like that...You'll save alot of money alright

yeh, thinking of something more storable, that the wife can also take to work.
Might just have to have a play around and research what things are high carb/protein and useful.

In some oblique reference to a long-neglected cubbyhole of childhood, I use the agreeably retro BeRo website, instantly filling my kitchen with comely aromas and memories of Bagpuss.

These really do work - they're blokeproof.

You need to modify them slightly for the complex carbs, but baking is actually a more flexible sport than the rigidity of recipes would suggest.

Australian Crunchie (aka The ACF Special) - Add crushed nuts for irrationally spectacular results

Banana teabread (à la Vandevelde) - add more banana to reduce crumbling (a big cycling frustration) but don't slip on the skins.

Granny Loaf - old and shiny, as recommended by RS' own Chris Horner and Levi Leipheimer. add a banana for an extra lift when out of the saddle.

Rice buns (aka Chef Cav's Cookies) - you'll always have an excuse when they don't turn out well but usually they hold together with a big team effort provided that they're properly prepared, only coming apart under severe dental pressure.

Coffee kisses (aka Chiapucci's Crumble-free Cappucinos) - quick energy from a compact shape. I would recommend adding more coffee for an additional, totally legal high, though I'd have to retract the statement immediately after saying it.

Sticky blobs - a favourite of all Lance Lovers - add powdered nuts for staying power when you've no more teammates for support and everything's starting to go wrong.

Bon appetit!
