Roasted baby potatoes with tuna and avocado

Mar 9, 2023 ·

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I’m a big fan of simple meals after a workout and Roasted Baby Potatoes with Tuna and Avocado is so simple, but certainly won’t taste like it.

Why is this a good post-workout meal? There are nutrients you want after a workout that you wouldn’t necessarily have in a pre-workout meal. Post-workout is about recovery and repair and that means carbs, protein, and yes, fat.

There are always other nutrients that should be on the “everyday” list when maintaining a healthy diet and fiber tops that list. I don’t always think about fiber, but avocados and skins come to mind when I do.

A half of an avocado can give you about 5 grams of fiber, which is pretty good for one food. Keep those skins on the potatoes for even more fiber. Altogether, this meal has almost 12 grams of fiber per serving. That’s a crazy good fiber haul for a meal.

You can use any tuna that you like, but I really like the tuna packed in olive oil, the flavor is outstanding. You could also add more tuna than the recipe calls for if you want to add more protein.

Make Ahead Meal

If you are intent on getting food within 30 minutes of your workout, you can bake off these potatoes ahead of time and either reheat or eat them cold.

You can also make the vinaigrette ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. If you like the vinaigrette, make extra and drizzle on roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Once you have the potatoes baked, this meal comes together fast. It packs well for lunch and would work for a quick weeknight meal.

Try roasted baby potatoes with tuna and avocado after your next workout and leave a message in the comments about what you think.
