#saturday studying snacks

As the summer is properly taking over Norway (two consecutive days of more than 20 degrees - HECK YES), I’m going harder on the cold drinks than ever. This delicious thing is a great way of getting both a refreshment and caffeine in one go. 

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana (preferably in bits)
  
• 1 cup of cold coffee
  
• ¼ cup of milk
  

How to make it

Cut up your banana (to make it easier to blend) and pop it in the freezer in a bowl or plastic bag or whatever suits your fancy. 

Brew some coffee, however you like it. I just use whatever is one hand, which this time was a chocolate and orange blend. Delicious. When it’s finished brewing, just pop it in the fridge. 

I like to do both these steps as soon as I get bananas in the house. This way I don’t have to worry about suddenly wanting to make one of these, and then having to wait hours for the banana to freeze and the coffee to cool. You can also prepare multiple of these at the time, and just portion them out when you want one. 

When you want to make it, grab your frozen banana bits, your cold coffee and your milk, and put them in a blender. Mix until there are no more huge banana lumps (or until there are none at all, but you might be mixing for a long time).

When finished, pour into something to drink out of and grab a straw (at least that is how I prefer mine). If you choose something cute to drink it out of, there might even be cute instagram pictures in your future. Also, there will be a foam on the top (na na na na banana foam) which you will love if you love bananas. 

The amounts stated in this recipe can also ba varied according to your taste. I usually put more coffee in mine because I prefer a more prominent coffee taste.

Greetings everyone!

If there is one thing I love, it is snacking. That’s why I thought I’d do a little series on snacks here on the blog. I don’t know how frequent it’ll be or what kind of snacks I’ll be doing, but for today I’m sharing with you one of my favourite things lately. Get ready for the amazingness that is edible raw cookie dough.

What you’ll need:

• ½ cup packed brown sugar (can be substituted with regular sugar)
  
• 2 TBSP butter, softened
  
• 1/8 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 and ½ TBSP milk
  
• 1/3 cup flour
  
• Pinch of salt
  
• Whatever add-ins you like: chocolate chips, M&Ms, nuts, etc.
  

Step 1: Cream together softened butter and sugar. 

Step 2: Add in flour, vanilla extract, milk, salt and flour

Step 3: Mix it all together 

Step 4: If you want to add something in (I recommend chocolate, oreos or kitkat)

Step 5: I recommend refridgerating it for a while because it makes it firmer and less runny. 

And that is it! It is that simple, and then you’ve got yourself an absolutely delicious treat! Speaking off… I have some more waiting for me in the fridge, and now I really want some. If you have any ideas for future posts (saturday studying snacks or otherwise) or just some recipes I should try out, let me know!
