For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
The wholegrain bread provides complex carbohydrates that release energy slowly, ensuring sustained energy levels and avoiding sudden spikes and crashes. Hummus is a source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth.
Health Benefits
The fibre from wholegrain bread and vegetables supports digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements. Olive oil, a primary ingredient in hummus, is rich in monounsaturated fats, which can help reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation.
Expert Tips
For added crunch, sprinkle some nuts or seeds over the top. This will provide healthy fats, protein, and additional texture.
