SWEET TREATS

• Toffee bananas- serves four

Heat the grill to red hot. Peel four bananas and lay them in a shallow ovenproof dish. Sprinkle them with two tablespoons of brown sugar and pour four tablespoons of dark rum around them. Place under the grill until the rum and sugar bubble. Serve immediately with greek yoghurt.

• Orange mango fool – serves four

Peel two ripe mangoes, remove the flesh and put it in a blender. Add 150ml of greek yoghurt and the juice of half an orange and process until smooth. Chill. Decorate with the grated rind of half an orange and serve.

What are Complex carbs….

There are two types of carbohydrates, simple and complex.

• Complex Carbs = GOOD Think potatoes, bananas, vegetables, brown rice, oats and cereals. The body takes longer to digest and absorb them, so they provide a slower release of energy and keep us feeling full.
• Simple Carbs = BAD Think sugars- biscuits, soft drinks, chocolate etc. They’re digested really quickly and converted to fat and often leaving us feeling hungry.
