I recently found a new use for ripe bananas – mash them up, mix with some water and pour the mixture into lolly moulds for some banana flavour lollies (could sub water for juice or milk too).

I get pretty obsessive about it.

We have a fruit box at work delivered and by Wednesday all the nice looking fruit has gone and it's just some of the slightly manky ones left. I get to benefit here as I don't really care what it looks like, it generally tastes fine! So I normally get to eat fruit 5 days a week.

I can't think when did people become such fussy gits, although I guess I may have been like this 5 or so years ago. I don't think the barrage of rubbish stories in the press about e-coli and all that sort of thing helps, as people make connections in their mind that don't really exist. I think sell by dates/best before dates are a load of tat as well. If it looks fine, smells fine, and isn't covered in green hairy stuff, then generally you can eat it. I regularly eat Lettuce that is 2 weeks past it's best before date for example… just make you own call.

One of my best tricks with bananas, even ones that look way past it and are beaten up and bruised, is to slice or mash them into porridge. It is so nice as the fruit is over ripe and very sweet (no added honey needed!)

I could go on for ages about other stuff but I think I've said enough for now, but needless to say… Great article and tips there Zoe!

Cheers!
