For those of you who wanted to add some more nutrients into your diet this New Year, this is the perfect recipe for you. Avocado with chocolate - sounds questionable, right? However, when you mix the avocado with the cocoa, it forms a rich chocolate mousse-like consistency. Before you knock it, why not give it a go?
Over the last month, have you been indulging on chocolates, cheese, roast potatoes, and any other naughty food you can pass off as a ‘festive treat’? Perhaps the only vegetable you have seen is the one token Brussels sprout on the edge of your Christmas dinner. Well, we’re all in this together. If you can’t have a treat over Christmas, when can you?
In a bid to add some much-needed nutrition back into our diets, we spoke to our teacher of Food and Nutrition, Mrs Christodoulou, who shared a few of her favourite New Year recipes with us. Up first is her classic New Years’ smoothie.
Add all of the following ingredients into a blender, and be prepared to feel revitalised after just one sip.
So, simply whizz all of this together for a quick and easy way of getting a hit of post-Christmas goodness!
Mrs Christodoulou tells us, "the fruit or vegetables can be frozen too, which saves on wastage and can be higher in nutrients as they are harvested and frozen in a short time. You can also make the smoothie in advance, with a squeeze of lemon juice to preserve colour in the avocado."
We think this is a wonderful recipe to begin the new year, and we can't wait to see what Mrs Christodoulou will whip up for us next week!
Although Covid-19 may have altered our usual traditions slightly, Worksop College and Ranby House still managed to pack the final weeks of term with Christmas joy and festive cheer. From our Kindergarten posting letters to Father Christmas, to our Year 13s performing their last ever House song, festivity was celebrated to its fullest by the entire school. In the name of Christmas, we hope to spread some festive cheer by sharing the events of the final days of term.
