Banana Peel Smoothie

Did you know that banana peel is edible? Not many people do, because we’re just used to throwing it out.

If, like us, you’re bananas about bananas, try this recipe that uses the whole fruit with the peel.

Serves [1-2]

Ingredients

• 2 organic bananas, unpeeled

• 2 apples, unpeeled

• 0.5 - 1L milk or dairy-free alternative

• a handful of almonds (optional)

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

1. Wash the fruit thoroughly.

2. Core the apples and cut off the ends on both sides of the bananas.

3. Blend all ingredients until smooth, adding as much milk as you want for desired thickness.

4. If you want to waste even less, simmer the apple cores with some cloves, a cinnamon stick, and a dash of sugar or sweetener of choice for a light spiced apple tea.

5. You can add banana peel to any smoothie, so why not try adding some to your favourite recipe?
