On Sunday's Shasta ride, I actually took a cold yogurt (and plastic spoon) in my jersey pocket with me for the first break, 10 miles in. I put some almonds in it for early ride staying power.
I am NOT a morning person, and I know that is one thing that sits well in the early morning, so I just decided to take some with! It only had to stay cold for the first 10 miles, and it worked great!

That sounds like a wonderful, light treat for a hot summer day.

I like to freeze yogurt too and eat it right as it is getting thawed. Might not want to put it in your jersey pocket though if it's a cool morning...
Pretzels are another of my favorite things to eat on the bike.
The honey & pb sandwiches sound good! My dad used to make sandwiches with honey, pb and a mashed banana for us when we were kids. Yum.
I was thinking of trying to bring along some cold pasta with a little olive oil, basil and garlic salt on my ride this weekend. I just get tired of gels, bars and sports drinks & want more 'real food' options.

Wasn't there something called go-gurt a few years ago? I remember buying them for my (then young) kid. She's way post go-gurt phase, now, but I wonder whether one of those suckers fresh out of the freezer would do well on a ride.
I will investigate.

Go-gurt (in those long tubes) appears in the shops here every summer, but is not about during winter...

I saw the the Go-Gurts at Costco today. I'm allergic to dairy, so no go-gurts for me . . . Hope you find them in your neck of the woods!

OK, I mixed pb, honey and lemon juice and used it in my Gel Bot. I gave me the right combination of protein, fat and carbs. I didn't have that sugar slump and fast burn like the gels and had I carried more on me, I would have skipped the Hammer gel and such. I may have to buy a flask to carry just the honey/pb treat as it fueled me just right for my long ride.

I don't care for dairy products, well, maybe Ben & Jerry's. I wish popsicles would last on a long ride.
