In case you didn’t know we’re totally into cooking food that converts into clean fuel for the human surfer’s body. Why? Because what you put in is what you get out. Hugh Jackman reckons his Wolverine diet was way more important than the workouts, but they seem to flit over that in the glossies.
So picture this. A surf trip up the coast in winter. You head off before dawn and find yourself on a lonely highway. You could pull over at the Caltex monstrosity and buy yourself some high GI sugar snacks. Or you could unwrap one of these babies and enjoy a low GI, nutritious cookie. If you seriously hate baking (it doesn’t get easier than this) then find yourself a new girlfriend / boyfriend who does.
You’ll have more panache in your paddle, finesse behind your fins and heart in your hack. Mmm.
