Gluten free banana bread. Did you know Australians throw out 8 billion dollars worth of edible food each year? 33% of that is foods such as fruit and vegetables.
Food that gets thrown out ends up in landfills, where it gradually rots and releases methane (a strong greenhouse gas) which is 25 times more potent than the carbon pollution that comes out of your car exhaust.
It is estimated 1.4 million bananas get wasted every day around the world.
There is absolutely no excuse for throwing out bananas. Add a ripe one into the blender with some milk and berries and you’ve got an instant smoothie. You can even freeze bananas to make banana bread when your ready or turn them into delicious ice-cream.
The possibilities with bananas are endless. Share your banana recipes with your friends and tag us with us with your creation.
