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
