Avocados may get a bad wrap among dieters due to them being slightly fattening, but they’re also incredibly good for you too. They have more potassium than bananas, they’re rich in fibre, they’re proven to lower cholesterol and they are full of healthy vitamins.

Cut one in half, remove the stone, squeeze the juice of half a lime over it and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper – and, enjoy.

Pre- or post-ride, this is one breakfast you will want to repeat again and again.
