What to eat before or after a 10 mile commute? Getting home and feeling a bit sick and faint

I love chocolate milk. I've started making my own, making a banana smoothie with a splash of milk and a teaspoon of cocoa powder (depends how chocolatey you want it though).
It contains no added sugar, but the banana makes it plenty sweet enough and it's got the added bonus of fruit
I've also made it with coconut milk, so it could easily be lactose free or vegan.
I don't need it after my normal ride home, but the last few rides I have, after adding extra miles and more hills, off road too.
Sometimes I get back and am so hungry I feel sick, so I have to get something in quick.

Could be blood sugar ? Worth getting checked.

A 10 mile commute should cause problems but if I do a cold 10 flat out I feel sick and dizzy. Maybe you are just pushing way too hard?
