Tips and Tricks
Try throwing in other greens that you may need to use up – its a great way to avoid wastage and boost your nutrition, and you won’t taste the difference.
If you need to ripen avocados, place in a brown paper bag away from direct sunlight for 2-5 days and add an apple or banana to hasten the ripening process.
Bananas store well frozen. Store fully peeled or mashed bananas in a plastic bag in your freezer, ready for use in smoothies or baking.
