Recipes
For homemade energy drink, gels, bars, cookies, whatever.
I've been looking around on the interwebs and find mainly stuff for hiking (granola bars, etc...)
Anyone have a favorite (if its not top secret) to share?

bmike - I've got the world's greatest bar recipe posted in this thread:
https://www.bikeforums.net/training-nutrition/296620-post-your-favorite-homemade-energy-protein-bar-recipe.html
over in the training and nutrition forum.
For liquid of course there's my imitation and much better than Sustained Energy homebrew:
7 parts maltodextrin from a homebrew supply house w/ 1 part Optimum Nutrition strawberry soy protein (or whey if you're so inclined). Put a pint of this stuff in a waterbottle, mix and it's 3 hours food.

I think my stuff tastes better because I use a flavored and artificially sweetened soy protein. If you want to stick with SE, try adding 2 squirts of Hammer Gel (raspberry) for every 5 scoops of SE.

Peanut butter and honey sandwiches with raisins and/or banana slices on thick crusty wheat bread.
Carbs, protein, suger, potassium, vitamins. If you're not sure which one to eat, might as well have them all right?
The peanut butter also makes you thirsty and forces you to hydrate more.

It's easy, clean, fast.
Consistency of plasma -- a thick liquid, or a flowing semi-solid.
Put it in a Ziploc-type freezer bag. Bite the corner off when you're ready. Squeeze. Drink.
No chewing. Saves time. No mess. No contact with hands.

I like using quick oats plus sweeteners and flavors.
Milk, yogurt, low fat buttermilk work well. Honey, brown sugar.
Mashed or blended fruit (bananas, dates, many other possibilities...).
Cinnamon, mace, cardamom, molasses, maple syrup.... many, many possibilities.

Maybe in a gel bottle?
(if thin enough...)
