Meal for the day before a race
This needs to be prepared at least a couple hours before you want to eat.
Ingredients:
- Porridge oats / rolled oats
- Plant milk (I use hemp with oats but you could use any other plant milk or even dairy if you prefer)
- Fresh or frozen fruit – try berries, mango, pineapple, banana, etc. (avoid melon and oranges)
- Seeds – try sesame, flax, pumpkin
- Nuts – try a few pecans or walnuts (you can substitute a tsp of nutbutter here if you prefer)
- Desiccated coconut
- Maple syrup (optional extra for those who have a sweet tooth)
Method:
- Pour oats into a bowl (amount is up to you, I use about 30g for a regular day, more for a pre-race day)
- Add milk until oats are just covered
- Add washed or frozen fruit
- Top with a sprinkling of seeds and coconut plus just a few nuts (or the tsp of nutbutter)
- Leave in fridge overnight or covered on the countertop if you make this on the day you want to eat it
