It finally warmed up here in Utah and I have been hard at work doing yard work. Lots of yard work. I wanted to share with you one of my favorite drinks to have on a warm day.
It is ridiculously easy to make. Here is all you need:
1 Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
2 Lemons (or ¼ cup bottled lemon juice)
5-8 Large Strawberries
I add the lemon juice and strawberries to the blender with a little water and blend that up before ever adding the orange juice. Orange juice tends to get foamy real fast so I add that last. I also like to let my concentrate thaw all the way before using it. Once I add the concentrate I then add the normal amount of water (like if I were just making the orange juice) minus what I added with the strawberries earlier.
Here are the cute lids I use on the jars!
I like mine a little sour but if you want to sweeten it up add your choice of sweetener ( like sugar, stevia, honey, etc.)
It is perfect for drinking in the shade on a hot summer day. It is also yummy for breakfast to get your day started.
***Here is a little tip...... Add ice and make it a smoothie! Just reduce the amount of water you add so it doesn't taste watery.
Thanks for this recipe. Sounds yummy. Have to try it.
Sounds so refreshing!
That drink looks so yummy and refreshing, my entire family will love it. Pinning it so that I can make it later!
Thank you for sharing. I like to blend strawberries, a little milk, and honey together til smooth. Then I add a few drops of Young Living Lemon essential oil, and sometimes also a few drops of Young Living Orange essential oil. Also sometimes I'll add a little ice for a smoothie. So good and refreshing!
This looks so refreshing and delicious. I'll definitely have to give it a go.

Stacy, where did you get the cute lid with the citrus cut out? It is so cute! You're a genius!
I might let my kids make this over the summer! They are anxious to learn some cooking skills! This will be fun, easy and yummy!
