Avocado on toast is one of the most basic dishes in the world. All you’ve got to do is chop and avo and arrange it on a lightly toasted piece of bread, right? While the fundamentals might be simple enough, this recipe is all about adding extra taste and nutritional value to make it the perfect post-workout meal.

This smashed avocado and prawn toast includes all kinds of juicy condiments and flavourful herbs. As well as the healthy fats from the avocado fruit, prawns are packed with protein, B vitamins (support the nervous system), calcium (for strong bones), selenium (supports the immune system) and iron (boosts energy). Fennel is a great source of fibre, potassium and folate — all of which go towards maintaining a healthy heart and skin. Dill is another plant that’s rich in vitamin A, C and magnesium.

The wasabi and vinegar aren’t just here to pack a flavour punch, either. Wasabi has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, with a compound found in the vegetable (called p-hydroxycinnamic acid) being linked to healthy bone formation. Apple cider vinegar is widely thought to lower blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. In other words, this dish is a one-stop shop for supporting your heart health, immune system and recovery capacity. Not so basic after all!
