Post-Workout Turkey and Banana Wrap

easy3 min totalPrep: 3mCook: 0mServes: 1

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

  1. Lay the tortilla flat.
  2. Spread the peanut butter across the centre of the tortilla.
  3. Layer the turkey breast on top.
  4. Slice the banana and arrange over the turkey.
  5. Dust with cinnamon if using.
  6. 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.
