    Ingredients for Strawberry Juice

    You only need only three main ingredients to make this fresh strawberry juice recipe.

    • Strawberries: Use fresh, ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavorful juice. I highly recommend using organic strawberries whenever possible to avoid pesticides. You can also use frozen ones.
    • Lime juice (or lemon juice): A slight tang from the lime (or lemon) juice will elevate the sweetness of the fruit.
    • Sweetener (Optional): If strawberries are not sweet enough, then you can add your choice of sweetener, e.g., sugar, maple syrup, honey, agave, etc. You may also use keto sweeteners like erythritol and stevia.
    • Water: A small quantity of water is added to get the juice consistency. Otherwise, the juice may turn thick.
    • Ice - optional for serving.

    How to Make Fresh Strawberry Juice

    First, wash the strawberries, remove the green stems and roughly chop them. Note: The greens are edible and contain nutrients, so you can save them.

    Using a Blender/Immersion Blender

    Transfer the strawberries, water, lime juice, and sweetener to a high-speed blender like Vitamix or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth.

    Pour the juice into the serving glass with ice cubes and enjoy immediately or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

    Note: If you donโ€™t like pulp in your juice, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag.

    Using a Juicer

    Put the strawberry pieces into your juicer chute one at a time.

    Collect the juice, squeeze some lime juice and add the sweetener of your choice. Dilute it with some water if desired, and enjoy!

    Storage Instructions

    Refrigerator: Consume this fresh strawberry fruit juice immediately to get the most nutritional benefits. However, you can store any leftover juice for two days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Give a quick stir before serving.

    Freezer: You can freeze the juice in a freezer-safe ziplock, ice cube tray, or popsicle mold for up to 2 months for the best flavor. Use them for slushies, and smoothies, or simply defrost and enjoy them as juice.

    Pro-Tips

    • Enjoy pulpy or smooth: My Vitamix blender makes perfectly smooth juice, but if you want thinner juice with no pulp, strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or a nut milk bag.
    • Adjust the sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. 

    Optional Add-ins

    • Citrus: Adding orange or lemon/lime juice will balance the sweetness and brighten up the flavors.
    • Herbs: Fresh herbs, including mint, basil, rosemary, etc., pair well.
    • Ginger: Use a small piece of fresh ginger root for a spicy, acidic zing and health benefits.
    • Other fruits: There are plenty of fruits that will pair well with this juice. Raspberry, apple, orange, peach, pineapple, watermelon, mango, etc.
    • Liquids: you can dilute the juice further with coconut water, or make it fizzy by adding sparkling water.
    • Spices: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or Indian chaat masala for a subtle flavor.
    • Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the berry flavor.

    Variations

    • Strawberry Orange Juice โ€“ thin with orange juice.
    • Strawberry Watermelon Juice โ€“ add 1 cup of watermelon chunks with the strawberries to puree, and skip adding water.
    • Strawberry Peach Juice โ€“ add peach slices with strawberries while pureeing.
    • Strawberry Mango Juice โ€“ thin with mango juice or add mango pulp while pureeing the strawberries.
    • Strawberry Kiwi Juice โ€“ add 1 kiwi with the strawberries to puree.
    • Strawberry Banana Juice โ€“ add 1 medium banana with the strawberries.
    • Strawberry Apple Juice โ€“ thin with apple juice or add apple chunks with strawberries to puree.
    • Strawberry Pineapple Juice โ€“ thin with pineapple juice or add pineapple chunks when pureeing the strawberries.
    • Sparkling Strawberry Juice โ€“ dilute with sparkling water for fizz.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why should I add lime or lemon juice?

    Adding lime or lemon juice adds a little tartness and enhances the flavor of the strawberry juice.

    Can I use frozen strawberries to make this juice?

    Yes, frozen strawberries can be juiced. Make sure to thaw them first else you may end up with a 'slushie'.

    Can you juice strawberries in a juicer?

    Yes, just feed the fruit through the juicer chute. If you have issues with strawberry pulp getting stuck, add some water.

    Can I drink strawberry juice every day?

    Yes. But it's recommended to drink 1 glass per day as it contains a good amount of sugar.

    Are Organic Strawberries healthier?

    Strawberries are always top on Dirty Dozenย list, meaning they contain a lot of pesticides and chemicals. So it is always recommended to use organically grown strawberries. They are more flavorful and nutritious than conventionally grown strawberries.

    How do I store any leftover juice?

    Fresh juice stays good in the refrigerator for 2 days when stored in an airtight container or mason jar. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months in freezer safe container or ziplock.
