Breakfast: Banana Oat Pancakes w/Blueberry Sauce

Pancake Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup basic pankcake mix (Hungry Jack)

Pour blueberries and lemon juice in a sauce man and heat to near boil. Reduce and simmer for 10 mintues. In the meantime, combine pancake mix, rolled oats and banana puree into a large mixing bowl.

Serve hot with your yummy blueberry sauce and enjoy! Tip: If you want to add protein without changing up the taste, add a scoop (23g protein) of banana flavored Ultimate Prostar Whey.

Lunch/Dinner: Chicken Vegie Blast over Pesto with Fresh Mozzarella

Pizza is a great food that riders can eat to build their energy stores for upcoming rides or races if made right. I'm not talking about pizza you go out and buy at your local pizza joint which is loaded with greasy cheese and topping. If you don't want all the grease that will clog your arteries and inhibit your riding performace, take 30 min out of your day, hit the grocery store to pick up a few ingredients and head on home to cook up some pizza everyone will want. All you need is a basic dough, a little imagination, and a hungry stomach. Top off the pizza with some chicken, brocolli, spinnach, fresh herbs and you are well on your way to making some new friends!

Serving Size: 1-3 Hungry Riders (depending on the rider)

Ingredients:
Basic Pizza Dough
Garlic & Basil Pesto
1 tb Olive Oil
Baby Spinach
Sliced Portabello Mushrooms
Brocolli
Chopped Onion
Fresh Mozzarella
Browned Chicken

Preperation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out your pizza dough using very little wheat flour (white flour is fine) until dough is approx 1/2 in thickness. Transfer dough to ungreased pizza pan or baking stone and brush a high quality olive oil over top. Spoon the pesto over the top of the oiled dough, spreading it out generously until all of the dough is covered leaving 3/4" on the sides (You do not have to cover it so none of the dough is showing. You just want enough to taste it during every bite). Apply a layer of sliced portabello muschroom, a layer of baby spinnach, then put a trace amount of chopped onion, a few pieces of brocolli, and some chicken which you previously cooked in a pan. Lastly, slice some fresh mozzarella balls and scatter along the top of the pie. Top off with a generous amount of oregano and pop in the oven for approx 18-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Slice and serve hot!

This pizza is also good frozen if you have any left over. Simply place in a 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes and you are good to go.

Enjoy!
