With summer upon us and fresh fruit abounding, I am always trying to find new recipes to use these treasures. We have made fruit pizza, many different smoothies, zucchini and banana fruit bread, etc. This week I happened to come across some wonderful strawberries recipes. This one was a very simple and refreshing drink the kids loved. Great way to use up those strawberries as well as a healthy afternoon snack for the family! (Sorry about the picture, very hard to photograph beverages!)

INGREDIENTS
3/4 c. strawberry puree (just blend fresh strawberries in blender)
1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/8 c. freshly squeezed lime juice (she used 1/4 cup)
1 T. honey
1/2 c. crushed ice
fresh lime wedge and a whole strawberry, optional garnish
1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/8 c. freshly squeezed lime juice (she used 1/4 cup)
1 T. honey
1/2 c. crushed ice
fresh lime wedge and a whole strawberry, optional garnish
PREPARATION
Combine the strawberry puree, orange juice, lime juice, and honey in a blender. You can use the same blender pitcher you pureed the strawberries in, without needing to clean it up in between jobs. Pulse a couple times to combine. Then add the crushed ice and blend until ice pieces are broken up and small. Pour into a 12-ounce glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and whole strawberry, if desired.
Yield: 1 12-ounce drink
