Loaded Sourdough Toast with Nut Butter, Yoghurt, Sliced Banana and Cinnamon
This has to be one of my favourite comforting post-workout breakfasts. It looks impressive yet takes less than 5 minutes to assemble. It's packed with protein and high-fibre carbohydrates to fuel recovery and provide energy to power you through your morning. It can easily be made vegan by swapping Greek yoghurt for coconut yoghurt, and gluten-free by swapping sourdough for gluten-free alternatives. Cinnamon is wonderful at balancing blood sugar, so adding a generous amount to breakfast (especially when it is high in carbohydrates) is a geat way to steady your energy levels during the morning.
