Cyclists love good eats

Wild Oats Vegan cookiesWell there you have it. I went vegan.

OK, not entirely. Just for dessert.

Have you ever had any of these? I about fell out of my chair when I learned the truth about them. They're vegan! But I gotta tell you, these bad boys are so good I could eat a whole bag in one sitting. Not that I'd want that much of a sugar high, but at least I wouldn't be compounding it with partially hydrogenated this and that.

Admit it. Even though most of the reason you ride is for the love of riding itself, a good portion of what's left has to do with eating. Am I right? OK then, I recommend you pick up a bag of these and see for yourself it they're not one exceptional recovery food.

These are really not that much different than any other oatmeal cookie (in my opinion). There is plenty of sugar. Whole wheat flour has problems (anti-nutrients, prevents vitamin D metabolism, etc...). Even Canola oil can be a problem. It is generally free of trans-fats but it still can have them if it was processed with high heat. So don't just get Canola oil and think that it's any different than other oils. Check the labels and see if you can determine how it was processed. I know Whole Foods has some good versions.

But I'm sure these cookies tasted great. It's ok to indulge on occasion and I always say you have to save room to partake of some forbidden fruit once in a while.
