Green Banana Porridge
Green banana porridge is a low fuss, high fibre breakfast.
Many of the traditional recipes for green banana porridge blitz the raw green bananas and other ingredients and then bring the mixture to the boil. My preference is to steam the bananas first, blitz all the other ingredients and return the mixture to heat. I feel it makes the porridge a bit smoother but does it really make a difference? 🤷🏾♀️ It DOES make peeling the banana a lot easier! In this recipe I used:
3-4 green bananas
1 ripe banana
Coconut milk (optional)
Water
Raisins
Cinnamon
There is no added sugar (or condensed milk), as the raisins and ripe banana provide more than enough sweetness. Add the water and coconut milk to your preferred consistency.
I put half of the mixture in the fridge for the next day 😋
A few months ago, in a digital cleansing moment of clarity, I decided that I wanted to have a zero-email inbox. Scanning through the emails that were cluttering my inbox, I began to notice a clear pattern. Many of them represented procrastination and indecision.
Every day I was opening my inbox and entering a space where progress and action had come to die. Apart from the few emails that were genuinely awaiting responses, the rest were things I could probably action in five minutes but avoided. Some things were labelled with various beautiful colours but they still served no purpose beyond taking up space in my inbox and mind.
As a strategist and practitioner who helps people streamline their personal and professional lives, my own inbox was an embarrassing affront to productivity. Interestingly, despite the many social media tools that exist today, emails are still an invaluable method of communication - either for receiving information or sharing information with clients.
However, I had disconnected my inbox from the tools I use to organise information, consolidate tasks and interact with clients. More importantly, it was no longer supporting how I understand and manage my business.
