"Caffeine and carbs! Give me a double espresso with a banana and I’m ready to crush it. Whether I’m about to go on a training ride for Ironman or teach a class at Studio Revolution Fitness, the combination of the caffeine and a simple carbohydrate spikes my energy and insulin levels, quickly giving me the boost I need. If I’m heading out for a longer sweat sesh, I’ll add some peanut butter to the banana so the fat and protein sustain that spike in energy, to avoid a total crash."
