Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe strawberries
  • 1 cup chilled water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or maple syrup, honey), optional
  • icecubes as needed

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice), optional

Instructions

Prep

  • 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 chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
    Note: If you don’t like pulp in your juice, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag.

Using a Juicer

  • Put the strawberries pieces into your juicer chute one at a time.
  • Collect the juice, squeeze some lime juice and add sweetener of your choice. Dilute it with some water if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Pro-Tips

  • Enjoy pulpy or smooth: My Vitamix blender makes a 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 sweet and brighten up the flavors.
  • Herbs: Fresh herbs, including mint, basil, rosemary, etc., pair really 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.
