These are so incredibly easy to make and once you have the recipe dialled it's easy to start playing with ingredients to make different flavours. These three are a great place to start and combine elements like dried fruit, dates or coconut for a natural sugar hit, plus nuts and oats which provide protein, carbohydrate and slow release energy. They also fit perfectly into pockets and bags, and are great for a pre- or mid-ride energy boost.
