Superduper Coffee Smoothie – Världsagod Kaffe Smoothie

As I mentioned in the blog before, I spent this years Christmas and New Year’s in Florida… This also opened up for less hearty food and more fruit, smoothies and vegetables. This “smoothie” isn’t really a smoothie, it’s a mix of coffee, ice, banana and milk. Sounds strange? Maybe, but it tasted wonderful! Definitely a hot commodity for someone who loves coffee :). The Beautiful girl in the picture is my brother’s lovely girlfriend Alexandra.

Pancakes with Bananas – Pannkakor med Banan

So this really was an experiment, but it turned out well. Pancakes comes in so many shapes, forms, flavors and ingredients. My favorites (as mentioned a million times) are the classic banana pancakes. But – sometimes there’s a clear carb-craving that can only be satisfied by real flour pancakes. Although, I still love the flavor of banana, therefore, I tried switching some of the flour for mashed banana, and it turned out delicious and VERY filling. Try it our next time you’re making pancakes for breakfast!

0.5 cups of flour / 1.25 dl mjöl

2 tsp of baking powder / 2 tsk bakpulver

2 tbsp of sugar / 2 msk socker
