Hey man, even though i'm not vegan or vegetarian I still find these videos really useful and informative. It motivated me to change snack types and things like that. Great videos!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I really like when you say that when you're a vegan it is possible to go from feeling amazing to feel terrible. I am a vegan and a cyclist as well and I felt this many times before. By now I'm overtrained, because I didn't hear my body and pushed myself too much. I hope that you get on the wagon again :) Once I get back to real trainings I'll make use of your tips, they are great man! Greetings from Brazil!
Alexandre Selhorst Being over-trained sucks man, been there before and its hard to get back into the rhythm. Best of luck and thanks a million for the view! I think its crazy to have people all over the world watch my videos, really a humbling experience.
The Vegan Cyclist Yeah, it really is... I will start to carry some potatoes along, I liked the idea a lot! Do you have any special tip on recovering from a burn out? I'm just riding within Z3-Z1, and it is never for more than 2.5 hours. My avg week time is 7.5 hours ride. I'm thinking to do it until I feel the desire to smash the pedals again :D
The best Post ride meal for home for me would be 5-6 Bananas,1 frozen Banana 400mls water and Tablespoon of Coconut sugar Blend for a Carb loading Smoothie ! Very quick to make,wouldn't worry so much about protein,even Bananas have protein.
Scott Payne Awesome stuff man, I gotta say I am a little over bananas. I eat them, but would rather do pretty much anything else. I smashed a tub of potatoes, rice, broccoli, and snow peas today after a 3+ hour ride with 5k+ ft of climbing. IT....WAS....AMAZING
Gotta start somewhere right? I appreciate you checking out the back log of videos. And I filmed the PB video but never edited it. I have so many vids in the edit bay that just collect digital dust.
+Cole fyre Also forgot to mention,after steaming or boiling the potatoes while they are warm remove the skin,easier to eat and absorb without the skin. ;)
Hey dude! I just saw one of your videos because I was looking for some intervall training, ..you knoe the serious stuff....30/30s and so... ;) Great channel with much informative content!! That will takes time to watch them all haha. Ride ON!!!!
Well I have a coach, so I can't take much credit. But I'm glad the videos can help you, it's super cool to hear from Bros like you that find the content useful. Make me want to keep creating !
+The Vegan Cyclist Yeah and yesterday I took some of your videos and watched during indoortraining. "Why I ride" nice one. Really inspiring for me. .....Basicaly it doesn't matter whether it's your or your trainer's knowledge. It's the lifestyle :)
Great video man, I have been thinking about going vegan but with cycling and wanting to move into racing, I didn't think I could get the same out of the recovery food if it was vegan. Just out of interest though, roughly how many calories are you eating daily? Because i've seen a few videos saying that i'd probably need to eat much more if vegan to get the same energy than if i ate dairy or meat
+Daniel Ellis Animal products are pretty caloricly dense, which means usually that you have to eat more, more often to stay on top of your daily needs. Especially when riding a lot. So as long as you can manage that, you should see huge improvements. But just take it slow, I have a video I am about yo upload where i interview a top cat 1 who is vegan.
Great stuff. Any thoughts on riding 60-90 minutes in a fasted or fasting state. There seems to be a lot of mixed information out there on that. Usually ride first thing in the morning. Thanks.
bobwalsh57 i have been doing it for years, not problem for me. i do it because i save some time this way in the morning. i pushed a few times and i have been able to ride fasted for 3 hours straight. i guess I'm used to it now. start slowly though if you decide to try it
Rice cakes...? Really? You had me until the processed food came out. Love the fact you make your own jam and peanut butter. Good channel. Thanks for your efforts
Hey bro what vegan protein do you use and do they sell bulk amounts? Trying to stock up we're using Vega now but can't get anything bigger then a 20 serving bottle.
Thank you so much man !! very useful information, I just have a question though, do you eat any kind of bread? I ask it because I have heard some cyclist eating lots of bread to get carbs. But I am not sure about the quality of that source of carbohydrates. Thank you in advance, mate :)
Travis Harper I have been doing a bowl of beans and rice after rides when I can. A cooler is a good idea though, I hate coming back to the car and having the fruit all soggy and gross from the heat.
I'll try potatoes, I normally put sea salt in my water bottles. I often whizz up bananas, dares, nuts with rice milk. Just prefer liquid as its easier to digest. Thanks for sharing.
so much sugar :( I like to chow down on an orange, chia, full fat greek yogurt (im not vegan, but I dont like to eat junk either), and raw vegi's....anything thats super nutrient dense.
Kfreeks Not really, I moved into the mountains and so my gym is like an hour away. I will make the trip every once n while but for about 7 years I was on the mat 6 days a week, now its like 6 days a year :( - here is a video of a fight at grapplers quest tournament that I ended up winning when I was a blue blet. I got to purple but then kinda fell off training. ua-cam.com/video/HWsR7p7MJm4/v-deo.html

Excellent info. Never thought about food prep post ride.
That "oooooOOOO!" was the selling point to that peanut butter haha.

how do you make that peanut butter?
Love the potato idea. I'm a big fan of boiled potatoes with salt and vinegar. Red whine vinegar being the best, balsamic is very good, too.
The best Post ride meal for home for me would be 5-6 Bananas,1 frozen Banana 400mls water and Tablespoon of Coconut sugar Blend for a Carb loading Smoothie !
Very quick to make,wouldn't worry so much about protein,even Bananas have protein.

The Vegan Cyclist Veggie curry and white rice hits the spot here
Wow, looking back, your quality of production is so much better now.
Have you made a video on how to make that Peanut Butter?
Gotta start somewhere right? I appreciate you checking out the back log of videos. And I filmed the PB video but never edited it. I have so many vids in the edit bay that just collect digital dust.
Mine is as follows:
Yummy!
Water
flax seed
hemp protein
bee pollen
blueberries
strawberries
pineapple
Maca
Yes, but can you get reservations at Dorsia?
stackedhippiechick Dorsia? Nobody goes there anymore.
Awesome ride mate ! Yer I love Potatoes ! I carried baby potatoes in alfoil in my jersey pockets years ago and other riders thought that was weird!
+Scott Payne Regular foil, or foil/paper that you can write on? I can't find that kind at my local supermarket.
+Cole fyre Sorry for the lateness just reg foil .Just fold it so it's easy to unwrap while riding.
Cool. Thanks, Scott. Will give it a go. :)
+Cole fyre Also forgot to mention,after steaming or boiling the potatoes while they are warm remove the skin,easier to eat and absorb without the skin. ;)
Glad you mentioned that. I was thinking of doing small red potatoes with the skins. Cheers!
Would you be willing to give us the peanut butter recipe?
I have discovered dried, pitted dates as well!! They work SO well for me.
really awesome video. quality picture and advise is amazing.
great tips, really helps to plan ahead!
Awesome, coconut oil on the skin before ride feels great!
Those Puree fruit/veg packs are great aswell
THANKS FOR THE SHARE! I have never tried coconut oil on the skin, but do use it to cook with.
Hey dude! I just saw one of your videos because I was looking for some intervall training, ..you knoe the serious stuff....30/30s and so... ;)

love all your videos, keep up the good work
Love the channel !
Thanks bro! Much more to come.
Great video. Do you use this as a meal or is it strictly a snack?
I got a really small cooler...that I leave a qt of cashew choc milk, some fruit(whatever) whatever in season and a sandwich on whole grain toast
Travis Harper I have been doing a bowl of beans and rice after rides when I can. A cooler is a good idea though, I hate coming back to the car and having the fruit all soggy and gross from the heat.
Burger King ad at the video. So inapropriate 😂
Hi mate,
I'm trying to lose weight, should I change some of those high calorie foods for lower ones? After a ride?
Ps loving your channel
Please could you make a video about you make your peanut butter. Thanks for the great videos.
Diggin' the shorter facial hair, bruh. Just started eating "more" vegan because of your channel. Not there yet, but who knows what will happen 😉
Got yourself a new subscriber from the Netherlands!
i am not vegan......yet. awesome, inspirational video. thank you.
Thanks for the food tips
I use sweet potatoes and chestnuts on board! optimal nutrition at its finest!!!
but what to eat for better joints and tendoms ofc from plant based food ?
I'll try potatoes, I normally put sea salt in my water bottles. I often whizz up bananas, dares, nuts with rice milk. Just prefer liquid as its easier to digest. Thanks for sharing.
Where is this paradise you speak of? Im tired of the rain in Portland keeping me off my bike. :( My indoor trainer is soooo boring.
I like health food balls (nuts and fruit and stuff), rice cakes and bananas out on the bike.
I need give or take about 20 jars of that peanut butter greatness
Facebook me your address and I will send you a jar of our homemade peanut butter.
Great video
6:00 : you forgot to mention a second possible use: this can serve as a projectile against a too sticky opponent.
Bruh I love the rice cake pbj meal and potatoes!!
Subscribed!!
AWESOME!!!
Dates are the best!
so much sugar :(
I like to chow down on an orange, chia, full fat greek yogurt (im not vegan, but I dont like to eat junk either), and raw vegi's....anything thats super nutrient dense.
So much saturated fat and animal exploitation. He is clearly not about that.
So far as sugar, there was very little. Sugar is man made. He was talking about whole fruits and veggies, nuts, and seeds.
Sugar is not junk if his glycogen stores are depleted. He is a fucking cyclist geez
do u live in fresno ca
Just outside of fresno. I live in the foothills of coarsegold.
ohh lol i knew it!! thats cool
Do you still train BJJ?
Kfreeks Not really, I moved into the mountains and so my gym is like an hour away. I will make the trip every once n while but for about 7 years I was on the mat 6 days a week, now its like 6 days a year :( - here is a video of a fight at grapplers quest tournament that I ended up winning when I was a blue blet.

What if your type 2 diabetic
Yea, I am not a doctor so I cant really say, but there has been a lot of studies that show a plant based diet will reveres a lot of diabetic issues.
Potatoes! Thanks for the tip!
Whey, no fucking way.
Km
Lo

Weird you say that, because I have been all over fasted rides lately. I REALLY like it so far.
