The launch of our little project to do good with unwanted fruit is almost upon us, so we thought it only right to introduce some of the people who'll be helping out along the way.
This is Eloise
And this is Emily
They both work for the organisation A Taste of Freedom whose sole purpose is tackling the problem of food waste. Along with Tristram Stuart, author and campaigner, they run a fantastic outreach programme providing workshops and talks on food waste and sustainability at schools and other venues, and they also make a pretty mean smoothie.
Here they are in action at our pilot day back in July giving a lesson on the madness of food waste (check out the oversized pupil at the back)
Mixing the fruit for the smoothies
Acting like true professionals when overenthusiastic shaking of the tarpaulin causes it to rip (obviously no fruit was wasted and it was all lovingly washed before going into the final smoothie)
Putting the smooth into smoothie (sorry)
Supervising a shaky Rich
This Friday and every Friday for the next 8 weeks we'll all be heading down to East Sheen Primary School and helping the kids make smoothies with a bunch of fruit that would have otherwise gone to waste.
We'll let you know how it goes.
Hoi, I am Dutch I just want to let you all know how good fruit smooties en specially green smoothies are for your health. Before I started drinking green smoothies I allways felt tired, now I have my energie back again. It really works. I know that smoothies are very populair in the US in the netherlands not at all, just trying to let the people know how good they are.
