Ingredients You Need
To make this easy strawberry juice, you’ll need to have the following ingredients on hand and ready to go.
- Strawberries: I usually make this with fresh berries, but you can also use thawed frozen strawberries. I remove the green stems before adding the berries to the blender.
- Lime or lemon: A little fresh lime juice or lemon juice brightens the flavor of the juice. You can use lemon if you prefer.
- Honey or maple syrup: You can taste your blended juice and adjust the sweetness with an optional sweetner. It may depend on the berries you have and your preference.
