One of the first lessons we learned on the road is that traveling requires an extra energy. Maybe at the beginning we did not notice it because of the excitement of the trip but as time went by each day it was harder for us to get up, pack our tent, prepare our bags on the motorcycle and travel a few hundred kilometers until we reach a new destination and search a place to spend the night.

Sometimes we ride through areas in the rainy season, others times it would be deserts with a lot of wind although the worst for us it was when we had to climb the mountains where temperatures fell very much below zero.

The accumulated fatigue is a silent enemy that suddenly appears with fevers, vomiting and general destabilization of the body, and if it last for a long time it could end up in something much more serious.

The solution is in the food, especially in starting the day with the appropriate breakfast. The body is going to need energy but we can not start abusing the food to avoid heavy digestion before throwing ourselves on the road. Then we discovered that the ideal breakfast for us was a Super Porridge where is mixed many different ingredients that will help us to enough power for the physical effort of the trip. These are the ingredients of our breakfast that completely changed the way we travel:
