Mixed berry juice blends strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries with water, lemon juice and a little honey or maple syrup. Fresh or frozen berries both work. Serve it over ice, strained for a clear juice or unstrained for extra fibre.

Ingredients for Mixed Berry Juice

To make this refreshing drink, you will need:

Fresh or frozen mixed berries (2 cups): Use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Water (1 cup): To dilute the juice to your desired consistency.
Honey or maple syrup (optional, 1-2 tablespoons): For a touch of natural sweetness.
Lemon juice (1 tablespoon): Enhances the flavour and adds a zing.
Ice cubes (optional): For a chilled serving.

Step-by-Step Recipe

Wash the berries: Rinse your fresh berries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly.
Blend the ingredients: Add the berries, water, honey (if using), and lemon juice to a blender.
Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a thicker texture, reduce the water.
Strain (optional): For a clear juice, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp. If you like a more fiber-rich drink, skip this step.
Serve: Pour the juice into a glass over ice cubes and enjoy immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen berries for mixed berry juice?
