One tip if you’re struggling to blend your dates is to soak them in warm water beforehand. This makes them a lot softer and easier for the blender to grind up.
Loaded dates: remove stone from mejool date, fill with crunchy peanut butter, coat in 85% melted dark cho and finish with a sprinkle of coconut. Refrigerate overnight 😋😋😋
idea: make them bar-shaped and wrap them in baking paper (non-stick side in). my thinking is that the non-stick baking paper would still be clean enough to be re-used (given you don't tear it open). otherwise, try a plastic bar soap box. You can probably fit 3 bars in one

Don't forget to ad a little bit of salt. Especially on the long rides, you won't regret it. Just enough that you don't kill all the taste ;-) For me that works pretty well.
@@berfinberfi5457 The body needs salt for water regulation and nerv function, but also to digest properly. You need it especially in endurance sports for long training sessions.
My favorite riding food is rice cakes, I got a rice cooker for christmas I have being trying different rice cake recipes and eating them during and after my indoor training with the help of GCN.
Some great recipes, love using Nutella on rice cakes as a go to snack for me great for running but can be messy also lead to a Nutella addiction! Top tip for Nutella, when you have run out and can't scrape any more from the tub, fill it with hot milk and stir it round till it all melts, makes a great hot chocolate! Looking forward to trying some of the recipes!
Great little baking show! I have been searching for some ideas to make my own snacks. The flapjack has always been the great standby. Thanks for this one Manon and I look forward to the next episode.
Love this video and Manon. Miss her from GCN already! Also happy that the GCN Shop restocked the Plant-Based Cyclist and Cyclist Cookbook. Out of stock for a bit but back. I just placed my order. I'll think of Manon every time I make ride snacks for the jersey pocket. Chef's Kiss!
Spookily this was released just after I had made another batch of flapjack from the Plant Based Cyclist Book (even though I am not a plant based cyclist, the book has great recipient and has loads of useful information on nutrition). Unfortunately, I realised after I started that I had used the last of my bananas in my pre-ride baked oats so I had to adapt and replaced the banana with marmalade. I’m pleased to say it worked!
Some great recipes there I’ll be sure to try all 3. Getting sick of my lazy option of throwing 2-3 cashew Lara bars in my pocket and buying a snickers or ice cream while on the road. Was thinking of getting a ultralight stove this year and try making myself a warm cup of tea mid ride this year as a treat. Also a step towards actually doing some kind of bike tour.
If you dig far enoguh into GCN's video catalog there's a video talking about this, I think it was soemthing about the thr pro rider's goodie bag I believe
Never thought l would see or hear this rather.... GCN + Reggae lol (from about 7:30), made my day. So it must be true that 'Nobody can stop Reggae' as Lucky Dube sang. Good show been meaning to make something along these lines thanks a lot.
Sweet! For the dried fruit, I recommend dates, figs, cranberries and/ or a few glacé cherries, all chopped of course. For the nuts, try pecans, hazelnuts and/ or pistachios. And use jumbo rolled oats. 😉
I used to love the energy bars from Zipvit before they stopped making them. Home baking is good though and presumably is cheaper? More cooking ideas please. I loooove food!! 😋
Finally got round to making my own ride food. I had a go at Manon's balls and blew up the blender. To be fair the blender was just above the euro bike level. Vintage blender rolled out, no problem. Now I'm good to go.
Yeah, and even if wrapped in foil or cling film, the heat from your body tends to separate the ingredients. Suppose the answer is to store them on the bike somehow...
To the last recipe you probably can add one egg into the whole mass and bake it in the oven as a cookies, that way it will be easier to wrap and carry with yourself.
Great video!!! Do I keep in the fridge? For how long? The uncooked options I'm not sure is gonna work for me. I live in a tropical weather. But I'm gonna try! 😍
I love to cook and I love to bike. Also my tree nut allergy limits my choice of energy bars. I look forward to making my own cycling snacks! Thank you!
Mashing bananas with a fork takes way too long.. a much quicker way to mash a banana is to put it in the back pocket of your cycling jersey and then fall off your bike at the first junction of your ride when you can't unclip from your pedals.. voila mashed banana in under a second.. (don't ask me how I know this.😉😉).
I have eaten just high5 products, but always wanted make own. I got receip from few year ago when none other else then Simon Richardson give his own receipe and now got this three. Surely this year I try make own.
All well and good however, I'll stick with the ol' stand-by; bite-sized PBJ's. Since I have Celiac, I use Schar's Baguette rolls cut down to eight pieces per long roll. Cut them in half, add some PB and J, and I'm golden! For energy "gels", I use caffeine-infused maple syrup. PBJ's and maple syrup gels work for me.
I use weetabix, ground flax seed, pure maple syrup, PB, mashed banana, dried cranberry’s, chopped almonds, and coconut flakes. Yum! After the mashed banana can add whatever you want.
I've made the flapjacks twice now, they are one of my new ride foods! They are a bit crumbly, is there something I can add to make it more solid? Maybe melted marshmallows?
Would people recommend eating a bit less while out on a long ride to encourage fat burning as part of an overall training and weight loss programme? One trainer I spoke to said you can often get a bigger performance improvement from dropping KGs than just more training, obviously depending on how fat and fit you are already!
Sounds delicious I will be testing those recipes but like others packing the energy balls has me a little concerned especially when it gets a bit warmer.
Manon's emergency fuel reminds me of the (germany) all famous granola bar (Müsliriegel) which I like more than the various sports bars, which either get sticky-slimy in my jersey pockets and/or are sooo chewy that breathing while eating them is almost impossible for me. I prefer the "Müsliriegel" and Fruit-bars best without chocolate in summer.
Very interesting, but if I ate such treats I would be very well fueled, maybe, but with a terrible teeth ache😬. I prefer softer things like small muffins, plum cakes, or chocolate milk dessert in squeezable packaging. And well sugared lemon tea in the bottle.
At 66 years of age, I find that comfort food doesn't work, but the food Manon eats is a bit beyond my budget. I buy grains. If Lance Armstrong new about eating raw sprouting grains, cheating wouldn't be part of his legacy, I think! Sprouting grains, nuts, seeds, coconut oil and raw honey cost me about $1000 a year if I buy in bulk. That's three 40lb pails of raw honey and one 40lb pail of coconut oil, and 50 lbs bags of assorted grains and seeds. Buckwheat is a very powerful seed. I've cycled 96 miles, spent 5 hours in the city, and returned before sunrise eating only sprouting buckwheat. After sprouting, crush ( I use a hand crank wheat grass juicer) mix with the oil. Pack it into a tin. Go. The coconut oil is a lard until it's warmed up, so I just keep the snack in a tin and use a spoon.
On 100 mile and 12 hour TTs, I used to take cheese and tomato sandwiches, a banana, and glucose tablets. What I ate had to be easy to swallow after a lot of mouth breathing.

Thanks for the tips bud
My blender almost caught fire working these things.
Also, use medjoul dates if you can find them. They're much softer.
tried your advise, she did not appreciate it
I tried that, they all thought I was weird and did not go out with me,,, Oh!!! that Dates :D
Loaded dates: remove stone from mejool date, fill with crunchy peanut butter, coat in 85% melted dark cho and finish with a sprinkle of coconut. Refrigerate overnight 😋😋😋
Manon is the reason I started Bicycling 🖤
THIS IS THE CONTENT WE NEEDDDDD
Tips on how to wrap these for a ride would be good. Especially environmentally friendly ones!
Umm...you have no idea what's environmentally friendly?
@@rkwjunior2298 new ideas are always welcome
idea: make them bar-shaped and wrap them in baking paper (non-stick side in). my thinking is that the non-stick baking paper would still be clean enough to be re-used (given you don't tear it open).
otherwise, try a plastic bar soap box. You can probably fit 3 bars in one
Use beeswax wrap, it‘s perfect for this purpose!
use plastic, just dont throw them anywhere
GCN, you're on notice. If Manon ever leaves GCN, I leave GCN.
I agree.
I could not agree more. Manon #1.
Then GCN better not have her take up Cyclocross or any off-road cycling. We lost Matt, Emma and Chris when they went off-road.

I saw some home made energy bars recipes here th-cam.com/video/wnijNG4QD9M/w-d-xo.html
Used the energy balls for the first time on a 60 mile, 5k ft elevation ride. They were an absolute life-saver!
How did you transported them? into some plastic bag? wasn't sticky or hard to take them out of the bag?

"The peanut butter is optional.."
No... no it isn't
It is for allergic people 😭
Best go to 'Almond Butter', healthier & equally as tasty, imho.
@@Stop_Elitists_Wars Hadn't thought of that
I am getting sick of peanut.. not allergic
I took my own flapjack recipe to a new level by adding chopped fresh ginger.
* makes note to buy candied ginger *
Try desiccated coconut
Yeah, I really hate that non committal coconut............
@@jalford5089 🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL. Don’t you just love IPhone predictive text ..
Love fresh ginger! Maybe we should invent a curry energy bar 😎

Another great Manon video and as I love cooking Wil definitely be trying all three
more interested in how you wrap/pack them up for a ride.
I re use bread bags for this. then they go in my feed bag up front.
@@gregknipe8772 may I know if you use the plastic or fabric ones?
You can buy foil backed greaseproof paper, I use that as it folds well but doesn't get as sticky as cling film
Baking paper might work well to keep things from sticking too much!
If you dig far enoguh into GCN's video catalog there's a video talking about this, I think it was soemthing about the thr pro rider's goodie bag I believe
I gave a try at my own bars. My pal the chef said, why bother Clif Bars are cheap. I agree. Recipes look great but more work than I'm interested in
Never thought l would see or hear this rather.... GCN + Reggae lol (from about 7:30), made my day. So it must be true that 'Nobody can stop Reggae' as Lucky Dube sang. Good show been meaning to make something along these lines thanks a lot.
wrap them in baking paper, can be reused 6 - 7 times at least
Who knew gcn had a training channel?!
Watching this video while eating a doughnut
GNC thank you for sharing this wonderful recipes...
Manon is ❤️

Thank you for cooking tips, going to give them a try as I am looking at making my own food when riding indoors.
Just tried the homemade energy balls. Absolute winner. The kids loved them too. Thankyou.

manon is such an awesome host, can't wait to try these
thus should be a series. "GCN baking"

Love the emergency ride food - definitely trying that out!
I will have to ride in an emergency!
Manon, don’t you bake these... the oats should be baked, no?
Great video but how do you pack these snacks?As I would imagine putting those sticky balls into the backpocket might not be the best
Yeah, and even if wrapped in foil or cling film, the heat from your body tends to separate the ingredients. Suppose the answer is to store them on the bike somehow...
Rice paper.
Can wrap in wax paper
@@raysoares9014 Indeed. Even the industrial stuff melts on the body and makes it hard to consume while cycling.
To the last recipe you probably can add one egg into the whole mass and bake it in the oven as a cookies, that way it will be easier to wrap and carry with yourself.

I’m a simple man. Manon Bakes - I Click!
Great recipes. Similar to recipes from past GCN videos but with a much cuter presenter
Wow. They looked good. Nice job in the kitchen. Now grab a cup of tea, a couple of snacks and a good book. Off you go. Take care, Al
Great video Manon - I still use Emma Pooley's overnight oats recipe from a few years back... the energy balls look ace! :-)
I love to cook and I love to bike. Also my tree nut allergy limits my choice of energy bars. I look forward to making my own cycling snacks! Thank you!

I take two good sized ting momos and some light gravy to go with it. A full carbohydrate blast.
Now I just need to get the GCN Easy Bake Manon Bike Snacks Oven.
Making flapjacks: "Make sure you measure it all out though".
Proceeds to just shake / squeeze stuff into the bowl randomly.
That's my cooking too!
you didn't notice the scale under the bowl?
@@CarlForde Oh, no, I didn't - guilty as charged! I only think of traditional scales, must be my age!
Thanks ✨️
My tip - add salt into the mix as well.
I prepare mine starting from industrial ones, just mixing according to muly needs.
Love it! I take it though, that the dates were de-stoned before blending? Never mind the cycling, it's the snacking which counts on a ride!
depends! keto bricks for fat fueled rides and I love dates when I'm using carbs. I love the way they get soft and squishy from being in my pocket.
3:15 best part
Love this session!
Looking forward to more videos like this
I have eaten just high5 products, but always wanted make own. I got receip from few year ago when none other else then Simon Richardson give his own receipe and now got this three. Surely this year I try make own.
As the Police song says "Every little thing she does is magic"
Cheese and onion sandwiches with a good layer of marg/butter 😉
I take some dates, walnuts, mini pork pies, water with Honey and a spoon of Cream of Tartar, pinch of salt. Yum.
Thank you Manon. You are good at this. I have enjoyed your vid. Thank you

Very cool! I will have to do this with my kids, they love baking!
Do you have the nutrition values/ numbers for the energy balls?
Great ideas, I like new ideas .... I'll be trying these soon..maybe with almond butter and peanut butter..
Loved ALL of Them !!! Looks delicious 🤪😋👏 thaaaaaank you for sharing. Blue Skies 🤙✨🚲
I now watch GCN to see Manon first, bike talks second.
I use weetabix, ground flax seed, pure maple syrup, PB, mashed banana, dried cranberry’s, chopped almonds, and coconut flakes. Yum! After the mashed banana can add whatever you want.
Great... now I am hungry, have to cook and I will probably like it.
Thanks for the cravings.
Excellent job, well done!
U are really enjoying cooking

Well, for me watching Manon was a delicious snack. 😍
lovely, easy made recipes, thanks ;)
usually, I'll make a loaf of banana bread for the ride
Brilliant...
Any suggestions on packaging to keep the bars/balls from ending up coated in whatever is in your pockets? Cellophane would be my first thought.
