Iced Strawberry Banana Refresher

By Emily Smith

Wow, Summer sure arrived with all of its heat and glory. It’s 33 celsius in Ottawa today (91 F) – that’s seriously hot for us! There’s nothing to do but stay cool at the pool, splash around at the water park, and hang out indoors –  enjoying refreshing beverages.  It is Summer after all and specialty drinks just make sense, don’t they?

After coming out of the sun, Mr. Smith and Little A. were in great need of fluid replenishment. We just bought some gorgeous strawberries from the market, so I thought, why not an iced strawberry banana refresher! The boys were much obliged and they sipped away in great contentment. 
Hope you’re having a great day, loving the Summer weather and taking in some Vitamin D!

p.s how are you enjoying/beating the heat this week?

    You can’t go wrong with strawberries and bananas, that’s for sure.

    As for staying cool, I’m indoors at work with the AC cranked up. I’m hoping it will cool down enough later so I can take my two pups for a walk.

    I love your pitcher and those glasses. We’re biting the bullet and buying a blender today, cause we are not going to survive summer otherwise. ;)
