• Strawberries: I have used fresh ones. You can use frozen ones.
• Lemon juice: A slight tang from the lemon juice will perk up the flavor of the berries. Instead, you can use lime juice.
• Sugar: You can use your choice of sweetener.
• Water: A little amount of water is added to get the juice consistency.

1. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and roughly chop them. Add that into the blender along with lemon juice and sugar.
2. Blend it until you get a smooth puree.
3. Add chilled water and again blitz it to mix together.
4. Pour into the serving glass or a pitcher. 

💭Expert Tips

• Use chilled water or use a few ice cubes with room temperature water. If using ice cubes then reduce the water amount otherwise you’ll have diluted juice.
• If you prefer, you can add a pinch of salt. It brings out the strawberry flavor more. I do not add salt to control the salt intake.
• Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. 
• To strain or not? It depends. We do not mind having a few seeds in the sip here and there. So why waste time in doing one extra step of straining. If you prefer a super smooth strawberry juice then strain the juice using a muslin cloth over the strainer. 

🥣 Storage

• As this is fresh fruit juice, it should be consumed fresh for the most nutritional benefits. 
• However, you can keep it in the refrigerator, covered for up to 24 hours only. If so do stir before pouring into the serving glass.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY JUICE (WITH AND WITHOUT JUICER)

This strawberry juice recipe requires just ONE ingredient for a super fresh, fruity, and nutritious, pure strawberry juice. Best of all, strawberry juicing is super simple and can be done with a juicer or blender. Plus, I’ve included tons of potential add-ins and recipe variations for tons of ways to enjoy a strawberry drink!

Does it sound overdramatic for me to say that this strawberry juice is irresistible?! Having already shared several summery juice recipes this summer (like this pineapple orange juice, watermelon juice, kiwi juice, and orange carrot juice), this pure strawberry juice recipe is a new favorite of mine. It’s refreshing, sweet, flavorful, and so so simple to make!

In fact, all you need for strawberry juicing is just fresh strawberries and either a blender (or immersion blender) or a juicer. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a wonderful berry juice that you can enjoy as-is, pulpy, smooth, or combine with more ingredients for a delicious strawberry juice drink blend (like strawberry kiwi juice, strawberry limeade, or even cocktails!). You can even use the pureed strawberries to make delicious natural strawberry syrup!

During the summer months, you’ll rarely find my kitchen without strawberries, especially when I can get my hands on the super juicy, sweet strawberries from my local farmers’ market. Then they’ll quickly be transformed into strawberry sorbet, a fruity vinaigrette salad dressing, added to a summery strawberry kale salad, or made into a creamy two-layer strawberry tart. I definitely recommend saving some for this strawberry juice recipe, though. Not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also packed with health benefits.

And if you want more inspiration for fresh summery drinks, you might enjoy this refreshing cucumber lemonade, bloody Mary, pineapple lemonade, mango lassi, coconut vanilla Frappuccino, or even tropical guava smoothie!

THE STRAWBERRY JUICE INGREDIENTS

• Strawberries: use fresh, ripe strawberries in season for the sweetest, most flavorful strawberry juice. I recommend using organic strawberries when possible.
• Sweetener: (optional) if you’re making this juice off-season or just have a sweet tooth, you can add a little sweetener. I recommend using a liquid option like maple, agave, or honey.

OPTIONAL ADD-INS

• Lemon/Lime: a little tangy citrus juice really brightens up sweet strawberry juice.
• Salt: a small pinch of salt is often added to strawberry juice to enhance the berry flavor.
• To dilute the juice: if you prefer a subtler strawberry juice drink, you can dilute it. I recommend using coconut water for the best flavor. However, you could also use still or sparkling water.
• Celery/Cucumber: alternatively, instead of the above, you could add ingredients like celery or cucumber juice to add tons of freshness and water content.
• Apple: for extra natural sweetness, add 1-2 sweet apples to the juice.
• Herbs: this strawberry juice recipe pairs wonderfully with several fresh herbs, including mint, rosemary, basil, etc.
• Spice: you can also use various aromatic spices to add flavor (to taste), including vanilla, tarragon, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon.
• Tomato: this might sound a little odd, but a little tomato juice helps to enhance the strawberry flavor. One small-ish tomato thrown into the recipe should be enough.
• Strawberry watermelon juice: for a truly refreshing summer strawberry juice drink, combine the berries with watermelon and serve in a keg (optionally with alcohol).
• Rosewater: just a little rosewater will make for a more aromatic juice that tastes delicious as is or with alcohol.
• Other fruits: tons of fruits pair well with strawberries – I’ll likely add more recipes in the future. For now, some of my favorite pairings would be mango, melon, pineapple, passion fruit, dragon fruit, other berries, apple, acai, orange, cranberry, etc.
• Creamy: without becoming a smoothie, you can adjust this into a creamy strawberry juice with the addition of a little condensed milk (or coconut condensed milk) or plain coconut milk.
• Alcohol: adjust this strawberry drink into a delicious cocktail with the addition of rum, tequila, gin, vodka, etc.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY JUICE

First, prepare the strawberries by washing them well. Some people prefer to remove the green stems. These are edible and contain extra nutrients, so I usually leave them on.

USING A BLENDER/IMMERSION BLENDER

Then transfer the strawberries to a high-speed blender or use an immersion blender in a large bowl of the strawberries. Blend until smooth.

You could then drink the strawberry juice as-is (pulpy), diluted slightly, or you can strain the mixture.

To strain the juice, pour it through a nut milk bag or through layers on cheesecloth in a sieve. If using a nut milk bag, squeeze well to remove as much juice as possible.

USING A JUICER

Simply feed the strawberries into your juicer chute – no need to strain!

Save any leftover pulp too. You can dry it out and plant the seeds (if they’re not too broken up), make fruit leather, add it to other smoothies and juices, etc. If you don’t want to use it immediately, I recommend freezing the strawberry pulp into an ice cube tray to use later.

Strawberry Juice Benefits

When making a drink with fresh fruit, there are bound to be some health benefits. It is full of the good stuff, so there shouldn’t be any guilt in drinking homemade strawberry juice, especially if you leave out the added sugar. The strawberry juice benefits range from health to beauty.

Strawberries are packed with antioxidants and fiber. The fiber comes from strawberry pulp, so if you want a health boost in your strawberry juice, I recommend keeping the pulp. There are minerals such as iron, zinc, potassium and manganese that help increase bone health and lower blood pressure.

As for beauty, the antioxidants and vitamin E and C in strawberries can treat skin inflammation and help to reduce age spots and wrinkles. Plus, vitamin C is great for the immune system and eyesight. A phytochemical present in strawberries called Ellagic acid, helps to prevent collagen destruction.
