I have this problem every year. Bags and bags of oranges from our trees I simply cannot eat quickly enough. I know, a good problem to have. Oranges are one of my favs, so I love just peeling and eating them as a snack.

We have two citrus trees in the yard and we end up donating so much of them every year. Until this past month. I found this yummy, easy drink mix on allrecipes site. Tastes just like an orange julius – so
refreshing!

I’ve experimented a bit and added a kiwi and use 2 fresh oranges from the tree. Plus, I think skim milk or soy would be fine instead of whole milk?

The kids love it (well until they get tired of it). Thankfully, we have maybe 1 bag left to pick!
