How to make a Team Sky rider's breakfast (video)

Looking for that pro diet? Here's how to start your day the Team Sky way

If you're trying to improve yourself as a rider, it can often be difficult to know whether you're eating the right things to really get the best out of yourself.

And while every meal is important, getting your breakfast right ahead of your ride is pretty vital in making sure you maximise your potential out on the road.

Now we know you're pushed for time (who isn't these days?), but this pro breakfast from Team Sky chef James Forsyth couldn't really be any easier, with absolutely no cooking involved. Here's the ingredients you'll need:

Dates

Carrots (grated)

Apples

Seeds

Nuts

Dried fruit

Oats

Orange juice

Milk (optional)

Follow the video along to see exactly how to put these all together, and remember, a lot of these ingredients are interchangeable to suit your tastes. Use apple juice instead of orange if you like, or ditch the dates if you're not a fan.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
