The Most Delicious Summer Drink


Today is my first official day of summer! Hooray! I spent my last three weeks working for BYU's French Camp. The French Camp was the perfect summer job. I got to make a little extra spending cash, meet some adorable kiddos and give away a few berets on the final day. With the camp behind me, it is time to really enjoy the summer before it slips away. This morning, I went to a Pilates class followed by an exciting Zumba class at the Rec Center. I really felt those endorphins and decided that today was the day to make the most refreshing and healthy summer drink! You should all try it too!


I know this drink by two names: Summer Citrus Punch and Better Than Airborn Drink. I think my mom got the recipe at a Maceys cooking class, back when Maceys used to do free cooking classes. There is nothing that could taste better or make you feel healthier on a hot day like today! Here is the simple recipe:
*2 grapefruits
*4 oranges
*2 tangerines
*1 lemon
*2 limes
Now simply juice each of these citrus fruits, pour them in a jar and... voilĂ , you have a great and refreshing punch! I have a juice attachment to my Bosch mixer, but you could try and juice them by hand, it would just take more work.


I plan on enjoying a glass of this delicious drink with my Homemade 12-Grain Bread tonight. I got his recipe from the Bosch store and it is also to die for! You get the crunch of millet, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and freshly-ground wheat! This is better than candy! Email me if you'd like this recipe. Another thing that I am doing is putting every recipe that I cook this year into an online recipe book. I plan on printing copies for myself and family around Christmastime. Doesn't that sound like a useful gift?
