These days I have been using 2 scoops of Hammer Sustained Energy (carbs/calories) plus 2 - 3 scoops of Power Bar Endurance sports drink (electrolytes). I find I take liquid nutrition a lot better than food. When I do have food, it's generally real: bananas (generally dried), dates w/walnuts. It has to be a pretty relaxed, low intensity ride for me to eat much more than that. If the ride's high intensity then I will do hammer gel instead of the solid food at all.
