Snickers Porridge

This is brilliant to have for breakfast, a few hours before your training session or before your planned swim events. If you only have an hour before you hit the lake, then simply halve the quantities to prevent digestion issues and allow your body time to benefit from the carb hit. The balance of low and high GI carbohydrates will see you through an endurance session even if you have limited time to prepare nutritionally.
