Besides the obvious uses like a) eating them, or b) throwing them into your Healthy Mummy Smoothie there are so many great ways to use fruit in your cooking.
Fruit can add a touch of sweetness to a savoury casserole or even a salad. You can bake with it, or even use it to make your own sugar-free jam.
It’s recommended to enjoy 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day.
So why not try out some of our favourite fruits and their alternate uses:
Bananas
Chop into chunks and roll in desiccated coconut as a side dish for a home made curry; bake these incredible Carrot Cake Muffins; or freeze into chunks and enjoy as a sweet treat with a smearing of natural peanut butter.
Apples
Add some spices and oats and make these delicious Baked Apples as a sweet dessert; or try them as a way to add sweetness to this Pumpkin Soup or Beetroot Soup.
Oranges
Use as a stuffing and glaze for a roast chicken instead of a lemon in this Orange, Ginger and Rosemary Roast Chicken recipe; or prepare these delicious Orange and Date Scones.
Pears
Slice thinly and add some crunch to your salads; serve them as a dessert by making our Sugar Free Vanilla Poached Pears; or enjoy them for breakfast in our Pear and Cinnamon Breakfast Cous Cous.
Berries
Use your favourite berries in these cute little Fruit Spring Rolls; make this delicious Chia Berry Jam; use strawberries to make a healthy icing for cupcakes; or freeze with some mango to make these refreshing Mango, Lime and Strawberry icy poles.
Watermelon
This sweet fruit makes a great addition to this Watermelon Salad with Mint and Feta; and is also the star attraction in this One Ingredient Fruit Sorbet.
Pineapple
Make this refreshing Strawberry and Pineapple Soda; add to a savoury dish to give it a sweet and sour flavour. Think a Prawn and Pineapple Curry; or this lovely Orange and Pineapple Chicken.
