Fall in Love with Reducing Food Waste

This Valentine's Day let’s make leftover ingredients feel loved and say goodbye to food waste with these perfect pairings. Here are our ideas for turning unassuming ingredients into delights that will make your loved ones (and taste buds) swoon.

For a delicious creamy treat, pair rolled oats and overripe bananas.
Overripe bananas might not be the most inspiring treat on their own, but paired with rolled oats they transform pancakes, cookies and snack bars. Why not try these peanut butter and banana flapjacks to sweeten up your day? Check out the full recipe here. 

For muffins with a savoury twist, pair apples and cheese. 

If your apples look a bit bruised, match them up with cheese and spices to make savoury muffins. The tart sweetness of the apples perfectly complements the salty, creamy cheese. These muffins last up to four days and are the perfect size for a Valentine’s Day picnic. Check out the full recipe here.  

For a zesty dessert, pair leftover yoghurt and lemons.
Have you got a half-empty tub of natural yoghurt lurking in your fridge? Use it up before it reaches its use-by date by pairing it with lemon and transforming it into this delicious cake. The combined flavours of yoghurt and lemon are a perfect match.

Celebrate love and creativity in the kitchen and kiss food waste goodbye!
