Hummus and pita bread
Good news if you've got a serious hummus addiction. Hummus on whole wheat pita bread is a great snack when you're in a hurry. Hummus is packed full of protein thanks to all those chickpeas and the whole wheat pita is a great slow-release carb that will keep you fuller for longer. Yum!
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a great post-workout snack because they are packed with vitamins and nutrients including vitamins B6, C, D, iron, magnesium and potassium. The carbs in sweet potatoes are also great for replenishing your glycogen stores after a burst of exercise. Grab some pre-prepared frozen sweet potatoes if you're short on time and eat them with some form of protein.
Greek yoghurt and berries
Greek yoghurt is a great nutrient-dense snack that is packed with protein. Tasty berries will provide you with an anti-oxidant boost too.
Avocado protein smoothie
Pop half an avocado, one banana, some protein powder and a little bit of water in a blender and blitz. It's the perfect summer smoothie and it only takes a few minutes to make. Plus you'll be one step closer to hitting your five-a-day.
