Description
EMBRACE THE POWER OF PLANTS AND RIDE STRONGER WITH EVERY BITE.
'A great selection of achievable recipes whether you're vegan or looking to reduce your meat and dairy consumption' – Cycle Magazine
'A must for anyone who wants to perform on a plant-based diet' – Men's Fitness
THE CYCLING CHEF GOES VEGAN – TO DELIVER MOUTH-WATERING PLANT-BASED RECIPES AND EXPERT ADVICE TO BOOST ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE.
Michelin-starred chef and leading sports nutritionist Alan Murchison knows all about the rise of veganism among cyclists. Cycling and food are the twin passions of his life, and he believes that food should be both for pleasure and for performance. Therefore, Alan has created a range of delicious recipes to give plant-powered cyclists or riders who want to reduce their meat intake the best possible preparation.
A plant-based diet should not diminish performance, and can even improve it with the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, carbs and protein. From energising breakfasts to recovery-boosting main meals, each recipe is protein packed and crafted to keep you fuelled for every mile.
Recipes include: Double Espresso Granola, Real Deal Red Lentil Lasagne, Blueberry Blondie bars and Cashew Tiramisu.
'every recipe is expertly crafted using the latest research' – Women's Fitness
