Strawberry Orange juice is a refreshing fresh fruit juice recipe perfect for breakfast, happy hour, and parties.
Fresh fruit juices like mango juice, watermelon juice with mint, and strawberry juice are refreshing on hot summer days, packed with fiber and essential nutrients to keep you energized.
Instead of plain, mono-flavored juices similar to store-bought juices, try mixing different fresh fruit juices with herbs and spices for extra flavor. Get creative and make your delicious blend!
Today, I'm sharing a strawberry orange juice recipe that I first tried at my friend Gouri's home and instantly loved the refreshing combo! This drink tastes best using fresh strawberries and freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also use frozen strawberries if desired.
These days, freshly squeezed orange juice is readily available in Lucky, Trader Joe's, or Whole Foods supermarkets. My daughter loves this strawberry and orange juice, so I sometimes give it for her breakfast or as an evening snack. It is also healthy because it is free from refined sugar.

Ingredients
- Strawberries: For flavorful juice, use fresh, ripe, in-season strawberries. I highly recommend using organic strawberries whenever possible to avoid pesticides. You can also use frozen ones.
- Orange juice: Adds a slight tang and elevates the sweetness of the fruit. Freshly squeezed orange juice tastes best. However, you can also use store-bought orange juice.
- Sweetener (Optional): If the strawberries are not sweet enough, then you can add your choice of sweetener, e.g., maple syrup, honey, refined sugar, agave, etc.
- Chaat Masala: Add a pinch of Indian chaat masala for a subtle flavor. It's optional.
- Ice cubes: optional for serving.
How to Make Strawberry Orange Juice
Puree 1 cup of chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or sugar) in a high-speed blender until smooth.
Pour the chilled orange juice into the serving glass, followed by the strawberry puree. Sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala if desired. Mix well.
Garnish with strawberries if desired. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Storage Instructions
Refrigerator: This fresh strawberry orange fruit juice tastes best when served immediately. 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 defrost and enjoy them as juice.
Optional Add-ins & Variations
- Liquids: You can dilute the juice further, if desired, with coconut water or make it fizzy by adding sparkling water.
- Citrus: Adding lemon/lime juice will add tartness to the juice.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs, including mint, basil, rosemary, etc., pair well.
- Other fruits: Fruits like raspberry, apple, orange, peach, pineapple, banana, watermelon, mango, etc., pair well with this juice.
- Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the berry flavor.
- Sweetener: You may use honey, refined sugar, or stevia.
