Sounds good for a little sugar spritz but for a long ride I fill one
bottle
with rice milk. Make a pot of rice the night before, overcook it, and
put
it in the blender with water and some nestle quik or cocoa powerder and
blend
it up. It's a bit chalky in texture but that's ok.

You can get a serious amount of easily accessible calories in a bottle
that
way, and for dirt cheap.

Why does it have to be in a bottle? PB & J has everything you need,
cheap, no cooking, 500 kcal a whack.

Gatorade so far is the most popular energy drink that can replace electrolytes in the body.
