Other than bars and smoothies what is your go to pre-ride snack before a TR workout and “quicker” post workout meal? I need to move my workouts to after work.. odd but it feels daunting to pre fuel, ride then make dinner.
Just looking for some ideas how others manage this.
Cheers
Feedzone Portables has a lot of great ideas.
Pumpkin muffins or banana bread (or just banana) for me.
I’m big on fruit newtons (blueberry or raspberry) for before and during rides, and a PBJ (with sides of broccoli, sauerkraut and sweet potato chips) afterward. 
Before: peanut butter pretzels
After: hard boiled egg or a tortilla with avacado
I usually do 4 or 5 rice cakes with peanut butter and maple syrup for pre ride
Liege waffles are my go-to pre-workout. Post-workout is usually oatmeal (not quick) or Kodiak waffles (quick if made ahead). Needless to say, I’m a fan of the waffle form factor. Smoothies (milk, fruit, oats, protein powder, almond butter) are also a good post-workout meal, but I’m hungry again pretty soon after having one.
During the day: make sure you hydrate and fuel properly, not too much, not too little. You may feel sluggish otherwise
Pre: Haribo (± 80g), whilst putting on my kit
Post: skyr + muesli + fruit, then shower, then diner
I do my workouts after work and I usually cook enough on my day off/ endurance day, that I have enough left over to microwave after a workout. Pre ride its usually something like a banana sandwich but sufficiently before.
Pre ride snacks are not necessary if you are eating properly at normal mealtimes.
Fuel your workout during the workout. regular white sugar and water is fine.
Dinner is either in the slowcooker and ready to go when I finish my workout, or only 30-60 minutes away even if cooking from scratch. 1 pan traybake meals are great for this, I turn the oven on when I finish my workout, do some prep, put it in the oven, go and have a shower, it’ll be cooked 20-30 minutes later when I’m out of the shower.
Doh, yeah these are my pre-race snack.
Wow, those Liege Waffles sound fantastic!
I do evening workouts usually starting at 5pm and lasting 1.5 to 3 hours (TR workouts or nordic skiing). I am usually starving ahead of time and if I go into the workout hungry, I bonk big time. Having a little protein before the workout has helped me feel a lot better and my stomach is used to it. My favorite is protein waffles (Kodiak or from scratch) about 60 minutes before and banana 15 minutes before. During the workout, I will eat cookies/rice krispie bars, rice balls, fig bars for Z2. For intervals, I pour a few 30g shots of maple syrup and Precision chews.
For the waffles, I make a big batch once per week.
Protein shake immediately after and a smaller dinner with fewer carbs around 8-9pm.
PBJ with broccoli and sauerkraut?? Dewd! 
BP&J before a ride, but pretty much anything with some simple carbs is good. If you are eating right before you get on the bike, it’s pretty much just part of your on-bike fueling.
After the ride, I’ll do a small protein shake with some carbs, but then it’s generally just a normal meal once I feel like eating (sometimes that takes a while). Tex-mex is always quick/good. Rice, beans, steak/chicken, guac, tortilla, cheese in just about every combination you can imagine.
I’m old. Gotta get my fiber and probiotics! 
haha.. I used to play ice hockey. One time, I had a meatloaf sandwich for lunch. I’ll never do that again.
Granolia, greek yogurt and berries. Sometimes i have it before, sometimes after. Super easy and quick to make/eat and get out the door
Funny I’m old too . 3 prunes when I wake up every day. Maybe not funny😳
I tend to have a handful of sweets (candy) pre-ride of whatever format I have available.
Post ride fav at the moment is avocado and smokey tofu (sliced straight out the packet) on sourdough bread with lots of salt and pepper.
