Nut Medley

This is a great high-protein, energy dense breakfast for mornings when you get fed up with porridge/oats and need a bit more fuel. This is high in fat which may be preferred for those of you competeting in ultra events lasting over a few days and at a low intensity when fat will be the preferred fuel source. Therefore, stored carbohydrate (in the liver and muscle) is used at a slower rate, delaying the onset of fatigue.
