Smoothies are perfect for using up left over fruit and veg which is a great way of reducing food waste in the uk – did you know that 30% of our general waste is made up of food waste? We thought it was shocking too!
We love making smoothies packed with nutritious fruit and veg, they are even a brilliant way to get the little ones to have 5 a day without even realising.
There are so many yummy recipes we love to make, they are super easy and almost any fruit or veg can be used, here are some of our favourite recipes to try!
Berry blast smoothie
Ripe bananas
Your choice of berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry or strawberry)
Apple juice or water

Whiz it all together until silky smooth and enjoy.

Who knew leftover fruit and veg could be so exciting!
