fruit slush for lunches

(There are no measurements to this recipe; it works however you do it! YAY! That's easy!)

FRUIT SLUSH FOR LUNCHES
1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
sugar to taste
fresh peaches
bananas
strawberries
blueberries
pineapple
raspberries

Pour concentrate into massive Tupperware mixing bowl. Dice and slice whichever combination of fruit/berries you like into the orange concentrate, making sure to put in lots of bananas! :):) Don't worry; they won't turn brown if mixture is stirred well. Add sugar to suit your taste. Mix well and pour approximately 3/4 cup into individual Dixie cups. We added the blueberries on top of each cup since we were fearful the whole mixture might turn a gooshy purply bruised color. Cap and freeze. Put one cup into each lunch in the morning. It serves as an ice pack to keep other foods fresh besides being just the right slushy consistency for eating at noon.

Yes! A very favorite of ours. We use for lunches like you do, and some we did in small clear disposable cups for breakfasts. I also added blended canned apricots with the orange concentrate. So so good! And I try to chop & freeze strawberries when they're in season so when I'm doing my fruit slush I can just dump em in.

Whew this is rather long-winded! Good night!
