This was fantastic. I made this for me and my gang after we spent the day outside in the hot sun. I used strawberries. It was so refreshing. Kids and adults both loved it. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing this.

Maybe my orange concentrate was too sweet, but even without adding honey, this smoothie was a tad too sweet for my tastebuds. I used a banana as my fruit, and the orange-banana combination did go really well together. I suppose I could try this with a lesser amount of concentrate next time.
