Banana milkshake made from bruised bananas


Are you thinking of how you can reduce your food waste?



 I was always guilty of putting bananas that turned black and looked past their best into the compost bin.  So i tried making these amazing banana smoothies, I no longer compost the beaten up old bananas, and the best thing is you can the extra bananas that you don’t use for later.


Serves:    1 to parties!
Prep Time:  10 minutes




Ingredients:
1 banana per person
200ml per person of milk (any kind) 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)

Step by step:

Don’t bin those black bananas! Peel and slice into 2 cm chunks.

For each person: add a handful of frozen or freshly peeled banana chunks to a blender with 200ml of milk.

Blend until smooth.

Add honey for a sweeter taste.

Using frozen bananas will help turn the mixture into a thicker shake.

Use up
Over-ripe bananas.

Variations
Delicious shakes can be made of any fruit.

Extra flavour
Try adding a chocolate drink dusting on the top.

Freezer advice
Peel and slice ripe bananas into 2 cm chunks and place in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Put in the freezer and wait until frozen (you can transfer to a freezer bag once frozen). Recover as many handfuls as you need for immediate use.

Vegetarian & vegan options

Suitable for vegetarians. Please use almond, coconut, hemp or soy milk if you are vegan.

So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 min...
