strawberry banana smoothie

i've been on a healthy-kick lately, so my last trip to the supermarket i got plenty of fruit... maybe i went a little overboard.  so i had just what i needed to make a quick and easy smoothie.  i narrowed it down to try out a strawberry banana smoothie.


ingredients are pretty simple... i eye-balled the measurements,
but all you really need is:

20 strawberries (i used a little more than half the pack)
1-2 bananas (i only used one, but next time i'll use another half!)
3/4 cup milk (depending how creamy you like it, and i used 1% to keep it healthy!)
1 1/2 cup ice (depending how icy you like it, i like a lot of ice)


not many ingredients, plus-- quick & healthy!  great for the morning
before work, just cut up your fruit the night before.  


cut up the strawberries & bananas into big chunks and
put everything into your blender.


i wish i left a couple on the side to garnish with-- so don't forget to
put some aside if you want a cute garnish for your cup!


i like to put half the ice i'm going to use so it blends evenly,
then i'll add the rest in once i've blended it a bit.


press the button a few times, and your deliciously simple smoothie is all set!!



drink up!

ode to the cottage

This will be the blog that explains the name of my blog.
'Liz Clegg, the cottage life.' That's me. That's my life.


The cottage is my little separate space from the house where I'm usually found.
