What post-ride (healthy,) tasty and satisfying snack? – Page 2 – Chat Forum

My riding is done at night, once the kids are sorted. I tend to get home anywhere between 2230-2330 and often fancy something to eat. Part hunger, part greed Over the christmas period it was getting ridiculous, I've been eating pannetone, mince pies, christmas pudding, various cakes, biscuits, chocolate, nuts, cheese, cold meat etc This has to stop! I came back last night and, trying to be healthier, had some dates. But then ate around 20 of them in one go, they'd already been pitted so it was like eating sweets I dabbled with rice crackers and philadelphia for a bit but it's not exactly satisfying. Have plenty of fruit around but not quite as appealing as other snacks I'm showering and then heading to bed after that so not using up those calories. I know one option is just not to eat but let's just pretend that option isn't there :-) Any ideas or recommendations?

Your carroty wrap things there need falafel. Falafel, grated carrot, hummus, maybe some form of greenery, mango chutney. Nom.

Your adding an extra layer of hassle though I quite agree.

Tried the houmous/lemon/carrot combo for lunch. Made it for the kids too. Tried it a crispy toasted pitta and a wrap

Wow, seriously nice. I added some sriracha in mine because I love spicy food. Very impressed!

A bowl of cereal with a banana is my go-to post ride snack. I was told years ago that milk was great for recovery, not sure if it is true or not?

Why even pretend.

Bottle of milk straight in the bag. Commence chomping.
