Food carb question

Before my daily commute I have either a bowl of cereal or porridge. I wondered if there are any other quick to prepare foods which might offer more carbohydrate?

stick with the porridge, but soak raisins in the milk/water overnight before making it.
Add a banana to the top and you're away. The fruit gives you that early morning high GI carb boost, then you get slow release from the grains.0 -
Cheers mate, will try that one0

We make up dried fruit with the oats in a jar, enough for the week. E.g. raisins, pitted dates, apple, pineapple, whatever is in the cupboard.
It takes a few minutes in the microwave to do in the morning, then slice a banana and put a spoon of honeyon top and crunch half a walnut over it for an even more yummy experience.
My scotish mother in law would be turning in her grave! Water and salt, thats PROPER porridge!0 -

Coarse (pinhead) oatmeal, cooked from cold overnight in the slow oven, generous helping of salt stirred in with a little cream on the side.
Hot, filling, savoury, rich, creamy, lovely nutty texture... the breakfast of champions...
P.S. Bet this is what Chris Hoy really has for breakfast... Bran Flakes don't come close... :-)

Apparently it takes 30 mins for the food you eat to start releasing energy in your body, so something to bare in mind if you eat then immediately jump on the bike for a 29 minute ride
Personally its no breakfast for me, instead I have a no-carb protein shake and a cup of tea when I get to the office. Keeps me full until lunch.FCN3: Titanium Qoroz.0 -

I see nothing wrong with this, and it is recommended by olympic athletes; FACT.0
