Preparation

Step 1

Squeeze juice from the oranges and pour into a blender with remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth (or until ice is crushed if added).

This drink is so easy to whip up. The buttermilk mixed with the sweet citrus creates an amazingly tangy taste that is SO refreshing!

I also love that this is a new way to get down some cultured buttermilk! (Learn how easy it is to make your own buttermilk here!) I have a hard time drinking the raw, cultured buttermilk by itself, but in this mixture…I could just drink it straight from the blender!

And yes, I know dairy products aren’t great when you have a sinus infection…but I didn’t care. ;) I needed something that would go down easily and satisfy my insides. It did exactly that.

And THAT is why I had to share this with you on Gratituesday. I love how God has given us so many delicious foods, and I love that He is our healer!
