Another victory in our battle against the greens. A created this recipe as a breakfast dish once we instituted the “no meal without lettuce” rule. We liked it enough to make a few batches to keep in the fridge for breakfast on the run this week. I think we might have gone through 2 heads with this one recipe!


(hand) blender

lettuce
frozen strawberries (hulls on!)
honey
whipping cream (yogurt?)

Combine a couple large handfuls of lettuce and a handful of strawberries. Blend.

Add honey and cream. Blend. Adjust to taste.
