Strawberries are one of our favorite fruits and ones our kids eat in tons. That is why we have lots of strawberry recipes such as healthy strawberry pancakes, strawberry banana nicecream and strawberry oatmeal.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries - you can use fresh or frozen strawberries and you can use them with the green leaves or remove the leaves. The sweeter the strawberries you have the sweeter and tastier the juice will be
  • Sweetener (optional) - use honey or agave syrup to make it sweeter

Strawberry Juice Benefits

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and manganese, B9, pottasium and fiber.

They also contain a number of antioxdants such as pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins, procyanidins.

Be aware that strawberries can cause an allergy so if giving to children for the first time look out for allergy signs such as itching, tingling in mouth, swelling of lips, face tongue.

How to make strawberry juice? Step by step

We will show two ways of how to make a strawberry juice - one using a blender and one using a juicer.

Using a blender

  1. Wash the strawberries and either remove the green leaves or keep them as they are edible. If using frozen strawberries then thaw them beforehand.
  2. Place in a high speed blender and blend. You can also use an immersion blender.
  3. Once blended you can either drink it like this, dilute it with water or if you want it without any pulp then strain it through strainer or a cheesecloth or nut bag.

Using a juicer

Place the strawberries in a juicer chute and begin. There will be no need to strain as the juicer does it for you.

How to store

  • fridge - store in fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
  • freezer - freeze in ice cube trays, glass container or silicone bags for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or overnight in fridge.

Add ins and variations

You can make different strawberry juice combinations that taste amazing by adding additional fruit and then following the same process as described for a pure strawberry juice

  • strawberry kiwi juice - add 5 kiwis to 5 cups of strawberries
  • strawberry orange juice - add 3 medium sized oranges to 5 cups of strawberries
  • strawberry banana juice - add 2 bananas to 5 cups of strawberries. Banana will give a thicker juice, more like a smoothie so you may need to dilute it more
  • strawberry peach juice - add 5 peaches (pitted) to 5 cups of strawberries
  • strawberry pineapple juice - add 3 cups of chopped and peeled pineapple to 5 cups of strawberries
  • strawberry mango juice - add 3 cups of peeled mango to 5 cups of strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen mango
  • add a splash of lemon and lime for a citrus taste
  • cucumber for freshness
  • make it creamy by adding milk or coconut milk
  • herbs - add herbs like mint or basil to make it herby and refreshing

Tips and Notes

  • Use fresh sweet and tiny bit soft strawberries to get the best tasting sweet juice without using additional sweeteners
  • Use natural liquid sweeteners such as honey or agave syrup
  • Enjoy pulpy or smooth - pulp adds fiber and nutrients but kids and lots of adults usually prefer it smooth. If you have a high speed blender like the Vitamix you may not have any pulp left after the blending process
  • Make popsicles - you can freeze the juice in popsicle molds and then you have a delicious summer snack (like our Mango pops or Blueberry popsicles)
  • Use it in smoothies
