Team recipe: Oatly Gold Standard Smoothie
EF Pro Biker chef Chris “El Jefe” Woodward’s bad**s(ish) Gold Standard Smoothie
July 9, 2025
Bikers who set out on endless endurance rides—like the Tour de France—might burn nearly 8,000 kcal per day.
Taking it to the limit like that is not the norm, but biker life has never been about following norms. It’s about fuel. A cup of coffee, black as tar and topped with oat drink, can boost a ride or be the excuse to go on one. While drinking an oat drink-based smoothie is a no-brainer both before and after any long ride.
As Oatly VP of Science & Technology Caroline Ofila Jenkins puts it: "A fortified Oatly oat drink is an excellent source of hydration with a good balance of macronutrients, including starchy carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats. It’s fortified with essential minerals and vitamins like calcium, which is important for muscle activity and energy metabolism and, in synergy with vitamin D, is essential for bone health."
