SmoothieCast | Fairtrade Smoothie Recipes

Every now and then I take a look down the tropical fruit isle at my local supermarket (Tesco) to see if there's any new or interesting fruits. This week my eyes stumbled upon some very small bananas. Upon reading the label I discovered that they were in fact 'Bananitos' grown in Costa Rico. I was quite excited because I remember eating a very sweet tasting mini-banana fruit in Cambodia.

Alas, after 3 days waiting for them to ripen, they tasted exactly the same as normal bananas. I got all excited over nothing. :( They're handy for a quick snack, and great in lunch boxes, but if you're making a smoothie it's cheaper to use plain bananas.

You can't get Fairtrade Bananitos yet. So if you try them and like them, ask your supermarket why they don't sell Fairtrade Bananitos.
