Lentils are the epitome of ‘small yet mighty’ – these teeny, tiny legumes are nutritional powerhouses, and absolutely delicious to boot.

First off, they’re a fantastic source of plant-based protein (important for vegans and veggies) and zinc, both of which aid muscle recovery after working out. Packed with carbs, they’ll help restore your energy in no time, as well as reducing inflammation thanks to the presence of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant.

Potatoes and carrots add potassium and magnesium, two electrolytes that get depleted after exercise.

Once you’ve cut up your veggies, the dish only takes 25 minutes to cook, so you’ll be blasting your post-gym ‘hanger’ away in no time.

Enjoy with crusty bread for an extra hit of fibre to keep that gut of yours healthy.
