Finish sipping on the drink before you get back on the bike to finish your commute.


Whey protein is know to suppress appetite/ hunger. It should digest easily allowing you to ride without having to digest a heavy bfast.


try it once or twice and if it doesnt help, then screw it.

I know Hammer uses soy protein in their Perpetuem product, claiming it helps keep hunger pangs at bay. It seemed to work during a brevet series last year... just another thought.
