Homemade snack with love, for my kids and husband when they get home from school and work-BANANA TURON AND BUKO JUICE

Hello everyone, how are you today? Hope everything’s fine.
Its my first time to post in this community. I want to share with you one of my daily routine as a mom.
It’s a sunny day today, the surroundings are bright, while I was thinking of what snack to prepare for the return of my loved ones after school and work, and I remembered that I had ripe bananas from my purchases, so I thought of making banana turon. And because of the extreme heat, I thought it would be nice to drink something refreshing like miltea, juice, or halo-halo, but then I remembered I didn't have any money. Hehehe. So I decided to get some coconuts. There's a coconut tree near my mom's house; it's not too tall, so I can just reach it using a bamboo pole with a knife tied to the end to knock them down. I was so happy because I got a lot, about 8 pieces, the coconut juice is delicious and health than other refreshing drinks.

strive and work hard, self

all the buko i got

So here it is, I peeled the banana and separated the lumpia wrapper

First thing to do after the banana is peel and the lumpia wrapper separated individually.

On a flat working surface, lay the lumpia wrapper.
Then put the banana, if the banana is big you can cut it in half.

Fold bottom pointed end of wrapper over filling.

Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll into a log.

This is the finish product.
And that its, repeat the process until all the saba banana is wrap.

Heat the oil in the pan. The next step is to fry the banana lumpia until golden brown, sprinkle brown sugar, wait until the sugar is completely melt to cover the turon with the caramelized sugar.
Remove the fried turon from the pan, and then let the excess oil drip. Let it cool down for 5 minutes before eating.

While waiting the fried turon to cool down, let’s go to the coconut. It's time to crack it, to open the young coconut I got a machete to remove the husk and get the juice.

This is already an effort because there's no one else to do the task.hehehe

After all I got the buko juice then I cut the young coconut into half to get the coconut meat to make it bukayo.

Even though I got tired from getting the coconut juice, it was worth it because the coconut juice is so delicious, my thirst was quenched, and it was very satisfying.My kids really love this kind of snack and they love buko juice too.

The kids nowadays are so lucky; when they come home from school, there's a snack waiting for them. In our time, it was very rare to have snack .But sometimes, I could cook a snack if there was something to cook, and if not, we would buy bread or biscuits. As a mother seeing my kids enjoying what i cooked is relief knowing that they love what i do.
That all for today’s blog, I hope you enjoy reading.
