Homemade Applesauce

Ingredients

5 medium apples

Hot water

1 tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes.
2. Place the apple cubes into a microwave safe jar and cover in hot water.
3. Cover the top of the container so that only a small amount of air can escape. You can use a small sandwich bag and a rubber band to do this.
4. Microwave for three minute intervals mixing each time. The apple cubes should become very hot and sticky.
5. Once the apples have softened, drain them so that all the water is gone.
6. Add the cinnamon.
7. Use a food processor or a stick blender to blend the apple cubes into a sauce.
8. Leave to cool and store in the fridge.

Green Smoothie Bowl Recipe

When I need a quick, healthy snack, my go to is smoothies and smoothie bowls. I love these delicious mixtures of goodness and especially how you can hide the not so yummy, but good for you stuff in them. The typical green smoothie is probably the one that contains the most of those ingredients and I have yet to taste one I don't like. So of course I had to make my own! Here’s my green smoothie bowl recipe.

Ingredients

1 small pineapple/ half a large pineapple

1 small avocado

1 cup raw spinach leaves1 tbsp desiccated coconut

1 tsp chia seeds

2 tbsp plain yogurt

1 tsp honey

2 tbsp coconut milk

Blend all the ingredients together and check the thickness. Add more coconut milk if the mixture is too thick for you.

Enjoy!
