Orange Lemon Drink - Bendtec - Vita Mix recipe

Quick recipe for a refreshing low cost alternative to sodas.

Orange Lemon Drink - Bendtec - Vita Mix recipe

1 - Lemon - pealed (I include the seeds and white part of fruit and the Blendtec blends them with ease.)
1 - Orange - pealed (I include the seeds and white part of fruit and the Blendtec blends them with ease.)
4 cups water
Organic Coconut Sugar to taste (not much is needed) - I used the 'blonde' version
Ice - 1/2 - 1 cup ice
Blend until liquid (On the Blendtec I used Juice Button)

This Orange Lemon Drink is very satisfying after a hot day in the sun and a low cost alternative to sodas and expensive energy drinks.  The Coconut Sugar is loaded with nutrients - from their website -
Coconut Sugar offers a rich nutritional content that includes magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and amino acids (including glutamine). Coconut Sugar is also naturally free from allergens including gluten, is vegan, GMO-free, and Kosher certified.
