Toast is a fail-safe go-to after a night out, and you can up its nutritional value by choosing toppings packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. And while it might not entirely cancel out a night of drinking, at lease you’ll have replenished some goodness.

“This is a filling, nutritious snack containing lots of fibre and healthy fats,” says Dr Cooke. “The hummus will keep blood sugars stable while the tomatoes will give you a vitamin hit, as they’re packed full of vitamin C and B.

“Pumpkin seeds contain magnesium, zinc and are a source of tryptophan, which all help you to get a good night’s sleep.” Essential after a night on the town!

Ingredients

2 slices wholegrain toast

Handful sliced cherry tomatoes

2 tablespoons hummus

1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds

Method

Toast your bread, then generously slather hummus on top.
Arrange the tomatoes over the hummus and finish with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
If liked, you can crumble some feta on top for an added protein hit.
