Delicious Green Cake

18 Delicious Green Cake My best friend Bill told me something really cool. His mom is always trying to figure out ways to give the environment a helping hand. What did she do this time? Well, it started simply enough. One day, she brought a green cake to work. At lunch, she shared her cake with her co-workers. " Delicious! " “ Wonderful! " Everyone liked the cake. They were all curious how she made this cake. The story goes back a few weeks. Her city started a new recycling program-households were supposed to separate food garbage from the rest of the household waste. Bill's family loves fruit. His father especially loves watermelons. He eats a lot of them in the summer. The shell and skin always end up in the garbage. That's almost half the weight of a watermelon! One day, after seeing the garbage man working hard to pick up the heavy garbage pail, Bill's mother said, “ Surely, I can find a better way to use all the melon skins. "

After a lot of thinking, she brought out the blender and cut the melon skin into small pieces. Then, she blended them. She got a whole cupful of liquid-green nutritious watermelon juice! The juice was full of vitamins. She didn't want to waste it by pouring it down the sink. Instead, she mixed the juice with flour. From there, she carefully made her delicious GREEN cake. Once she tasted the first bite, she immediately knew her cake was a great by-product of the melon eating. And it was nature friendly too. From now on, she doesn't need to worry about the heavy waste generated from eating melons. And everyone always wants more of her special cake.
