Pesto cheese and tomato toasts
A perfect, easy, taste-packed post exercise lunch, try to time your exercise to end at a mealtime, so you can refuel with the meal, rather than having to eat extra.
This combines hot toast made from good bread (flour, water, yeast and salt only) with creamy pesto-y cheese and juicy ripe tomatoes. Tomatoes always need good seasoning, so don’t be afraid of that.
Buy cream cheese that is not *that* popular brand, because that brand contains additives! Supermarket own, in this case Waitrose, is usually additive-free.

Nutrition Info
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene which is a pokey antioxidant. Antioxidants are like bouncers at a night club, they go around finding stray electrons that are busy causing trouble in your body, and find them a love partner so they can both stay in and cuddle on the sofa.
Tomatoes are also a brilliant source of vitamin C, which supports skin and connective tissue health as well as immunity and iron absorption. The biotin in tomatoes is good for controlling blood sugar.
