Post-Workout
Tuna and Crackers Recovery Plate
easy3 min totalPrep: 3mCook: 0mServes: 1
Sometimes the best post-workout meal is the one that requires no cooking whatsoever. Open a tin, grab some oatcakes, spoon out some Greek yoghurt, and you've got a 34g protein meal in under 3 minutes. No excuses.
Ingredients
- 1 x 145g tin tuna in spring water, drained
- 6 oatcakes
- 100g fat-free Greek yoghurt
- ½ tsp dried dill or mixed herbs
- Squeeze of lemon
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Drain the tuna thoroughly and place in a small bowl.
- Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the Greek yoghurt with the dried herbs in a small pot.
- Arrange the oatcakes on a plate.
- Serve the tuna and yoghurt dip alongside.
Pro Tip
Keep a tin of tuna in your gym bag or car. It doesn't require refrigeration until opened. A tin opener, fork, and packet of oatcakes gives you a solid post-workout protein source anywhere, without relying on getting home first.
Nutrition Notes
Oatcakes provide a moderate carbohydrate hit (around 5g per oatcake) from oats, which are slow to medium release. Combined with fast-digesting tuna protein, this plate adequately covers post-workout nutritional requirements without exceeding calorie targets.
