ABOUT OAT TO JOY
Healthy recipes for on-the-go nutrition
Oat To Joy is the most delicious way to empower athletic potential. Real food, packed with wholegrain oats and natural ingredients, brings the joy back into eating for sports and outdoor adventures. In Oat To Joy, former world champion cyclist Emma Pooley combines insights from elite sport with a passion for movement and a love of great food.
Oat To Joy elevates sports fuel to fabulous new flavours, with more than 40 original recipes to eat on the move. Choose between sweet and savoury, muffins and cookies, buns and loaves. Every recipe is portable, healthy, easy, and tasty. Because enjoyment is key to nutrition – just as nutrition is key to athletic performance.
Exciting innovations in snack design
Oat To Joy liberates dessert from the shackles of a bowl and spoon. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? No problem, and no mess in your pocket! Chocolate peanut butter cups? No melting on the wrapper! Date slice with caramel sauce? No sticky fingers. Birchermuesli? No spoon needed! The clear and straightforward recipes in Oat To Joy make it easy to bake these gourmet on-the-go treats at home, including options for gluten-free and vegan diets.
More than breakfast – oats are the snack of champions! This small but mighty grain proves that good nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Oats are high in micronutrients, protein, dietary fibre, and complex carbohydrates. Oats are the breakfast of champions, and also the lunch and dessert and snack of champions.
Emma Pooley climbed to the top of professional cycling in her 8-year career. She raced at 3 Olympics, won multiple stage races, and became time trial World Champion in 2010 – then transferred her talents to world-class trail running and triathlon. Through thousands of hours of training she hungered for real food rather than processed energy products. And that was the start of Oat To Joy! Emma wrote this book to share her passion for delicious sports food with other athletes.
Over 10 years of innovation and testing have gone into the recipes. In Oat To Joy Emma also chronicles the highs and lows of her athletic career, from nervous beginner to Olympic podium, from cake via cheese sandwiches and chocolate to the greatest pizza in the world. Written with warmth, authenticity and humour, her story shares insights (and snacks) from a unique journey in sport.
