I go out regulary for 40 plus mile rides, and learned when I did a Century ride a couple of years ago, that nutrition on the bike is very important. It's trial and error. I have a lot of food allergies, so am limited to my choices.
That being said, everyone will enjoy Bonk Breaker protein bars. They have a lot of flavors, and I am able to eat the blueberry one which is also nut free. All of their bars are gluten and dairy free. And they taste great!
For electorlytes, I use Ultima Replenisher. It's a powder that comes in a lot of flavors. I used it when I hiked across the Grand Canyon in one day (24 miles), and experienced no cramping. I also find it causes no stomach discomfort like Gatorade.
If you stomach gets testy on the bike for really long rides, pick up some Aloe Vera juice. It's an awesome all natural for stomach aches and digestive issues. It has other benefits as well.
