Add the orange juice and strawberries to your blender and blend until smooth.

Tips
This is such a simple recipe, we really only have a couple of tips to remember.
No Pulp – Always get pulp-free orange juice. Even in a blender, you’ll never be able to get a nice, smooth texture if your orange juice has pulp in it.
Make it a Slushie – For backyard bashes in the summer, do something a little different. Freeze the orange juice and strawberry mixture until slushy, and then pour it into your glass with the champagne for an extra cool treat.
