Post Ride Banana !

[kingrollo]

Tastes so damm good ! Like someone has packed it with sugar !

So the question why ? - is body craving sugar ? Why does riding bring out the flavour ?

If you were to come down here and eat some of the local bananas you'd swear someone had put sugar in them. Much smaller than the Carribbean variety, about the length of your index finger.

If you've depleted your glycogen stores, then yes your body is demanding carbohydrates, which bananas have around 28% of. The also have excellent levels of potassium. If you could get magnesium in higher quantities too they would tick a load of exercise requirements. They unfortunately lack protein for post exercise.

You can create glucose from protein, but takes more energy resources to top
