Ingredients
Juice Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries, fresh or frozen (See note)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 cup water, coconut water, or sparkling water
- 2–3 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend Strawberries and Lemon Juice: Add the strawberries (you may leave the tops on for extra flavor) and fresh lemon or lime juice into a high-powered blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Add Water and Sweetener: Pour in 1/2 cup of cold water, coconut water, or sparkling water, then blend again until fully combined. If you prefer a thinner juice, add more water gradually and blend again.
- Strain (Optional) and Serve: You can enjoy the juice as is or strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any pulp for a smoother texture. Serve chilled and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Using fresh, ripe strawberries enhances the flavor, but frozen strawberries work well too, especially when fresh berries are out of season.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference or omit for a sugar-free option.
- For a fizzy twist, use sparkling water instead of still water.
- Straining is optional but recommended if you prefer a smoother juice without pulp.
