Blueberry lemonade is a cool, refreshing drink. In our house, it’s a new family favorite! Make this delicious drink on one of these hot summer afternoons. Enjoy!

I always double the recipe, but here are the original measurements:

Ingredients: 1/3 cup lemon juice, 2 cups frozen blueberries, 2 cups water, and 1/3 cup sugar.

Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth (about 1 minute). Pour through wire mesh strainer, if needed.  I don’t strain it because we have a powerful blender, but if yours leaves the seeds and skins intact, you would probably want to strain it.  Makes 4 1/2 cups.

It’s time for my next “drink of the month” post! For July, I’ll post a family favorite: orange refresher. It’s a bit similar to blueberry lemonade (another family favorite). This yummy drink has a tangy kick to it because of the orange concentrate, but plenty of sweetness with the honey! The recipe is supposed to make four servings, but, well, I usually have to make more for our family. It doesn’t last long! :)

In your blender (we use a Vitamix) blend together:

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup water
6-oz. can frozen orange concentrate (ours are always 12-oz cans, so I just use half of one)
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
8-12 ice cubes

Blend for 30-45 seconds, or until smooth. Enjoy!
