I hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend? This period of lockdown has really got me into sustainable cooking and thinking about how we can reduce food waste. At home, we have really dug deep into the pantry and made the most of what we have before jumping out to buy more! I was inspired to try cooking with leftover banana peels following an interview I watched recently with Nadiya Hussain (Great British Bake Off winner)! If you didn't see my recent Instgram post, I have put a few pictures in the gallery below.
Have I lost my mind?
LOL no I haven't. But what you are not hearing in the media right now is the amount of food waste that is going on right now. Not surprising either, as people were filling up their trolleys to the brim and not really thinking about whether they actually needed it. With banana peels, they are full of as much fibre and potassium as the actual fleshy part. So apart from making a good composte, give them a good clean, chop them up, boil them, season and toss them into a stir fry. It tastes really delicious and not of banana at all. I served it to the family without revealing the secret ingredient until the end and it went down a treat! Don't take my word for it! Give it a go.
This weeks bitesized workout
So we are continuing with our summer fitness series, but with a playground inspired HIIT workout. This workout will have you doing hopscotch to monkey bar swings! Remember plastics? Just think the human version on cats cradle! Let me stop talking now as I'm sure some of you are reading this thinking what is she talking about! Lol if you know, you know!
