I love Glucerna and it really works for me. They
have butter pecan, too which my sister loves but I love the chocolate.
Really helps pull me through the ride.
The corn syrup bothers me, too, as any sugar will make me
crash - and I suffer from really bad headaches after a ride. I found
that the Atkins shakes are wonderful - and no corn syrup in the ingredients at
all. I think they taste better than the Slim Fast ones, too. None
of that chalky aftertaste. :o)
I've heard that some people really like to drink
Slim Fast on rides. They freeze it in the can and then drink it. I've also
heard that slim fast and ensure are the same formula. What concerns me about
both are the amount of corn syrup in them.
Funny that we're talking
about foods. I had posted a question on the CTR list and didn't get as many
new suggestions as I'd hoped for. I didn't ask you guys and we're getting
them here.
I have recently tried to make my own energy bars from
recipes on the web. Problem is that they were too cake like and/or too
crumbly. Someone has already told me that they fortify oatmeal cookies, but
I was wondering what stuff other people might make from scratch.
