Post-Workout Turkey and Banana Wrap
An unusual combination that works extremely well as a post-workout meal. Turkey breast provides lean protein, banana delivers fast carbohydrates for glycogen replenishment, and peanut butter adds a small amount of fat and flavour. No cooking, 3 minutes, and portable enough to eat on the way home from the gym.
Ingredients
- 1 large wholemeal tortilla
- 120g sliced turkey breast
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Method
- Lay the tortilla flat.
- Spread the peanut butter across the centre of the tortilla.
- Layer the turkey breast on top.
- Slice the banana and arrange over the turkey.
- Dust with cinnamon if using.
- Roll tightly and eat immediately.
Pro Tip
This works best as a grab-and-go option post-training when you can't face cooking. Keep sliced turkey breast, tortillas, bananas, and peanut butter stocked at home specifically for this purpose — all four ingredients have long shelf lives.
Nutrition Notes
Banana provides approximately 25g of carbohydrates per medium fruit, mostly as fructose and glucose — both of which are absorbed rapidly post-workout. Turkey breast provides a large lean protein hit that initiates muscle protein synthesis in the recovery window.
