I have to say I am quite partial to certain brands of processed energy bars, hydration drinks and gels to keep me going on a long training spin or endurance race. But as a healthy eater who tries to avoid processed food, it often baffles me that I gorge on a concoction of sugary, processed snacks when I am on the bike.

So in an effort to stay on the healthy eating bandwagon, I have spent a bit of time researching natural alternatives and healthy bites that you can make yourself. And of course if any of you lovely readers out there have suggestions, please fire them on. I’m always keen to get my bake on and try out new recipes.
