JUICING DIARIES: CARROT-APPLE-ORANGE-BANANA

Hands up if you love juicing!!!!

I made this amazing combo-Works even better if you buy sweet red apples and juicy oranges.

One of my loved ones wasn't feeling too well so I figured he needed some fruits to help in his healing process.

Ingredients:- Makes 3 large glasses

2 Bananas
2 Oranges
1 red apple
1 large carrot
1/4 cup Apple juice



Wash the fruits well and chop them up. Blend or juice all the fruits together.
Serve and drink before 20 minutes are up.
If there is any left over, store in a glass jar and seal with lid. Refer to one of my previous post on "how to store juice."

If you're feeling under the weather, you can add a bit of ginger.

Enjoy :-)

Awaiting your FEEDback.

OVERCOMING MY FEAR OF MAKING PASTRIES: BANANA CREAM PIE

Hey everyone!
I'm slowly getting there....making new desserts any chance I get.
This one you will all love. Pretty simple and sweet.
Did you know you can make the crust of a pie with biscuits?? Well here's how......

Ingredients:- serves 6
1 pack Vanilla cream pudding powder
1 packet 500 ml milk
3-4 bananas
Whipping cream to whip/ already whipped cream in can
Digestive biscuits
125 gr unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
So start off by grinding your biscuits. I used a small grinder to do so but you can always put them in a closed bag and smash them manually with a rolling pin until fine.

Melt the butter in microwave and mixed with the biscuit crumbs. 

 

Put in a wide or round tin and smash well into the bottom of the tin.

Put in oven for about 5-7 minutes. Monitor it to make sure it doesn't burn. Remember that the biscuits are already cooked so the purpose of baking is for it to create a beautiful brown crust.

Once it is done, remove to cool.

In a bowl beat the 500ml milk and one packet vanilla pudding powder until nice and thick. 

Peel and cut up bananas. 

And whip the cream. In my case I used a can of already whipped cream.

Since the crust has already cooled, place the sliced bananas and form a layer. 

Follow by covering with vanilla pudding and whipped cream.

Put in the refrigerator/freezer for about ten minutes for it to set well. 

One thing I noted about this was that when I used the can of whipped cream and covered the pie, it came out abit runny. The taste was still good but it didn't form such a clean layer. So for the next time I shall either whip my own cream or just refrigerate without the cream which I can add/spray on top right before serving.

All in all it was a sweet mid-week treat! 

My peeps really enjoyed it as well and we ate quite a generous serving.

Try it :-))
