SOME TIPS TO RECHARGE YOUR ENERGY

  1. Prepare whole grain sandwiches with enough protein to keep you going longer. Two eggs or at least 60 g of meat, poultry, or fish will provide enough protein. To prevent the lunch from freezing in the car, it is best to put it in a large insulated bag.
  2. For skiers who want a hot meal, a thermos filled with a soup-meal (lentils, minestrone for example) or a stew (chickpea curry, chicken cacciatore, etc.) is always a good option. Make sure to heat the thermos for 10 minutes with boiling water before putting the food inside and thoroughly heat your meal before placing it in the thermos. Our home tests confirm that the lunch will stay hot for 3-4 hours.
  3. Snacks are convenient and help to make up for the lack of energy. Among the snacks that fit into a ski jacket: soft bars (choose those that contain less than 8 g of sugar and 4 g or more of fiber), dried fruit bars, individually wrapped cheese, the small bags of roasted chickpeas, fig cookies, date-based energy balls). 
  4. Remember to stay well hydrated even if you feel less thirsty than during summer sports. Water fountains may be difficult to access, so plan to bring water in reusable bottles. Try to drink mainly in the morning, as water may freeze in your car after a few hours. You can also carry a small 200 ml bottle of juice diluted with water (Oasis Hydrafruit). On your way back, remember to warm up and hydrate with a hot drink (hot milk with cinnamon, herbal teaor a good hot chocolate) and refuel with a mainly carbohydrate-based dinner such as pasta with tomato sauce or a risotto. Have a great day skiing!
