Recipes for Success Best Mega-Power Drink "This may seem like a massive gut bomb," says Paul Romero, an elite adventure racer who competes on Team Epinephrine, "But my teammates and I rate protein drinks on their ability to both fuel long workouts and stay down during them. This one is excellent on both counts." While Ryan applauds the creative carbs in marshmallows, she cautions this isn't for everybody. "It's a lot of protein," she says, "It's best for people who are going long distances at a low intensity." Epi GoopPut all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Best Mid-Day Snack "I like to cook, but rarely have the time to make anything extravagant," admits Darcy Piceu, an ultrarunner who placed fifth in the 2002 Leadville 100. She relies on staples like cereal, sliced banana and soy milk for breakfast, and swears by her low-maintenance burrito, which, because of high-protein peanut butter and high-carb tortilla, honey, and apple, works nicely as an at-work snack or pre-race fuel. Simple BurritoSpread the peanut butter on the tortilla, top with apple slices and drizzle with honey, then roll. Best During-Workout Snack Xterra athlete Jamie Whitmore takes an even simpler burrito on long mountain bike rides with her. "It's the only thing that isn't too messy to eat," she admits. If you're out longer than 75 minutes, you need to have a refueling strategy, says Ryan. If you're tired of using gels or sports drinks to get the 30-60 grams of carbs you need every hour, here's another option. Simpler BurritoSpread peanut butter, then Clif Shot or fruit spread on the tortilla. Roll and cut into easily-consumable, bite-size pieces.
