post-ride nutrition is
essential for recovery
Here's What The Research Says...
fitness is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise
In a clinical trial comparing a control group, a group that only did exercise, a group that only focused on diet, and a group that focused on both exercise and diet, those who only exercised did not see any changes in body weight. However, the group that focused on both exercise + diet and diet alone did produce significant results.

post-ride nutrition is essential to achieving your cycling goals
Post-workout nutrition, with protein supplementation, is helpful in exercise recovery, lean muscle growth and maintenance, as well as immune function preservation.

what you consume 30 minutes after a ride matters
Replenishing key macronutrients such as protein immediately after exercise can help repair and rebuild your body’s muscle fibers.

SATISFY
Rich in fiber, chickpeas are filling and slow digestion, so endurance athletes have a consistent energy source to last with them.
EMPOWERING
Chickpeas are high in the amino acid tryptophan, a main building block of serotonin, which boosts happiness and wards off depression. When you’re feeling happy, you’re more likely to ride.

ENDURANCE
Coleus raises levels of a compound inside cells called cAMP, which helps relax muscles around bronchial tubes to make breathing easier during your rides and prevent respiratory spasms.
TONE
Coleus may promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass, so you can tone your body so that it can reach its maximum athletic capacity.

PROTECT
High in antioxidants such as vitamins A and C, grapefruits protect your cells from damage via free radicals in both the short- and long-term, which become particularly abundant following endurance activities.
WEIGHT LOSS

ANTIOXIDANT
Lutein, an antioxidant high in green bell peppers, protects your body’s proteins, fats, and DNA from stressors which your body produces after long rides.

BURN
Green tea extract has been shown to help with fat loss and increase fat oxidation for endurance athletes, leaving more carbohydrate energy stores for the latter parts of a long ride.
IMPROVE
Green tea’s fat-burning properties have an additive effect when paired with endurance training in which they improve one’s endurance capacity, keeping you in peak shape.
RECOVER
Catechins, an antioxidant found in green tea extract, may reduce cellular damage from free radicals and delay muscle fatigue. Cyclists are especially susceptible to these after long rides, and consuming antioxidants will promote a more complete recovery before returning to the bike.

TRANSFER OXYGEN
Hemp seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6, which have been shown to boost blood flow and improve cyclists’ performance.
