What are some high-carbohydrate snacks that are convenient for cyclists?

[John Minnesota]

When it comes to high-carbohydrate snacks for cyclists, it's essential to prioritize convenience, durability, and sustained energy release. Dried fruits, energy bars, and jerky are popular options that meet these criteria. For sustained energy, consider snacks with complex carbohydrates and protein, such as Clif Bars or energy chews. Homemade snacks like date-based energy balls or coconut rice bars can be a cost-effective alternative, providing a natural source of electrolytes and carbohydrates.

Relying solely on commercial snacks can be a trap. Have you considered the trade-offs between convenience and nutrition? What about the role of timing in snack consumption during different ride intensities? Are there specific combos that work best for you?
