Notes
Tony's PT Tip - These work brilliantly: Before a Zone 2 rowing session. Immediately after threshold or VO₂max work. As a healthy afternoon snack instead of biscuits or chocolate. Each ball provides approximately: 13
0 kcal 6-7g protein 14g carbohydrates 7g fat 3g fibre. For an even higher-protein version, increase the Nuzest to 40g and reduce the oats slightly to 140g. This pushes protein closer to 8g per ball while maintaining a good texture.
