This quick and easy recipe is great before and after workouts when you want all the carbs and protein to fuel up for a big day or recover from one without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
This delicious recipe comes from Enduro Bites ambassador Anne Galyean. These carbohydrate-rich scones are ideal as a pre-workout snack to fuel long, hard training days. They also make for tasty treats during extended workouts. For Anne this usually means shredding gnarly mountain trails.
I love making this banana bread for brunch on a rest day after a big adventure in the mountains or for dessert after a long day of hard training. The duo of complex carbohydrates in the whole wheat flour and simple carbohydrates in the honey and bananas is a perfect way to replenish glycogen stores in your muscles. Additionally, the protein in the Recovery Protein Powder provides the building blocks for repair and growth of your muscles after exercise. Enjoy this healthy and delicious treat as you recover from one adventure and refuel for the next!
