Gluten free and Vegan, I thought I had it hard finding something that was Fructose free (which really was not hard at all)...

I cycle and she runs. She has found a recipe that meets both our energy food needs but found this link useful also.
Thanks

Aussie bodies protein powder
Endura energy bars
winners gels
pb Sports gels
Bounce make energy/protein balls that are really nice but are $2-3 per ball. They look like they'd be pretty simple to make at home though.
After being told I can't have porridge I was gutted although I found this stuff called power-up porridge, looks like bird seed until you cook it and get it creamy, and I really like it.
Can't find a good bread though, anyone out there know a good one? The bread mix boxes are pretty good, but the loafs I've tried are pretty horrid.

We get our bread from Naturally Gluten Free. We buy a whole box at a time and the postage is $9 for several weeks worth of bread. They ship on the east coast. The bread, buns and pizza bases are truly the best there are as far as GF products go. http://www.naturallyglutenfree.com.au/number21 wrote:Can't find a good bread though, anyone out there know a good one?

Here's something I worked on as an energy bar. It's savoury rather than sugary so you can eat it on a long ride or for lunch (my many love it for lunch or dinner) Just remember I have to make commercial quantities for my lot so I'm attempting here to reduce it to a more manageable size for most.
it contains
Rice
Bacon
Sundried tomatoes
Onion
Mixed herbs
and egg
So boil up some water and chuck in a cup and a half of rice. boil for 10min. drain when done and don't wash it.
in the meantime chop up a small onion finely and a couple of rashers of bacon and pan fry (saute) them
also chop up a couple of sundried tomatoes really finely and then add them to the onion and bacon.
Stir in a teaspoon of mixed herbs and an egg and then almost cook it. Don't worry the egg will continue to cook.
Chuck the lot in with the drained rice and stir it through.
then press this firmly into a lined slice tray so you now have a 2cm thick slab of ricemix.
Let it cool and slice it up, wrap in foil and put in your jersey pocket.

Also, they are about $6 for a pack of six which makes them way cheaper than the gels
Thanks David - will have to try the Sharkies as well.
PS - They are gluten free (I'm coeliac) and sutiable for vegans if your that way inclined as well.

very observant, I tried theirs but it was a bit too bland for my taste so I tweaked it, maybe I should send it back to them.bigfriendlyvegan wrote:That recipe is similar to the Cervelo Test Team rice cakes that are apparently used as currency in the peloton.

If you're going to head down that path, please take it to the Halfway Cafe for discussion. This is the Health forum. The information posted was for the benefit of coeliacs, which is a disease, and vegans, which is a lifestyle choice (for most). Many coeliac products are vegan and vice versa. Some cyclists have coeliacs disease, are vegan or both.eucryphia wrote:Apologies for the hijack...an alternative view...
The why of veganism has nothing to do with this thread. Thanks for playing.

I found the green (lime flavour) is way better than the berry one
