6. Smoothies and Juices


If your vegetables aren’t holding their shape, there’s nothing better than blending them up! Make a green juice by adding them to other fresh ingredients or mix into your favorite smoothie blend. They’ll still have nutrient value, despite looking a little rough, and by not cooking them, you’re keeping more of those nutrients still intact! 

Try this recipe.


Please note: Check for signs of mold or sliminess beforehand and toss if they’re no longer edible! Minimisingfood wastage is important, but it’s also important to protect yourself from food poisoning!
