Dark Chocolate Brownie
When cutting down on sugar, or going sugar free, it can be hard to create healthy tasty food that everyone can enjoy. Often the way around this is to use fruit in fresh or dried form. This recipe from Yvonne Gloor, one of our instore Nutritionists, is a great idea for everyone's favourite - Chocolate Brownie!
1 1/3 cups dates
2 ripe bananas
4 tblsp cocoa
1 tblsp cinnamon
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup walnuts pieces
1 cup dessicated coconut
Preheat oven 10 190C.
Chop dates and put in food processor with bananas. Process until creamy. Add cocoa, cinnamon, black beans, walnuts & coconut. Process again until mixture holds together.
Put into a rectangular tin with a removable base and bake for about 30 minutes. Cool on a rack for an hour.
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
