The accessible, complete and practical guide to plant-powered cycling nutrition

If you want to ride simply powered by the goodness of plants, The Plant-Based Cyclist will help inspire, equip and empower you to do just that.

Written by the acclaimed cycling WorldTour nutritionist, Nigel Mitchell – the nutrition brains behind historic Olympic gold medals and multiple GrandTour wins – this coffee table-style book’s 244-pages cover everything to do with being a plant-based cyclist: from diet, sports and cycling nutrition, micro and macronutrients, and gut health, to how to set up a plant-based kitchen, essential equipment and know-how, supplementation, travelling on a plant-based diet, fuelling for cycling races and events, and beyond – together with 23 great tasting and easy to make recipes for on and off the bike.

“Nigel’s approach takes the guesswork out of riding on a plant-based diet”
– Si Richardson, GCN Presenter

Whether you’re just starting out on your cycling journey or are already an accomplished gran fondo or road racer, The Plant-Based Cyclist’s recipes are all designed to deliver you the perfect balance of taste and nutrition from every day, easy-to-source ingredients: from pre-ride breakfasts, smoothies, and light snacks, on-the-bike DIY energy drinks, energy bars/balls, post-ride meals, deserts, and many more.

Nigel’s many, many years of experience at the highest levels of elite sport have gone into the creation of this book – all with the hope that you won’t need to invest anywhere near as much time yourself, instead taking its shortcuts to reap the benefits of being a plant-based cyclist. After all, the less time faffing with the minutiae of diet plans, macronutrients, or trying to track down obscure ingredients is more time spent doing what we all love: riding bikes – purely and simply.
