## Nutritional Information

## Homemade Fresh Strawberry Juice Recipe

**Preparation:** 10 minutes
**Servings:** 4

### Ingredients

- 500 g of fresh strawberries
- 800 ml (3⅓ cups) of purified water
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 lemon
- Ice to taste

### Instructions

1. Wash and disinfect the strawberries well. Remove the green tops and halve them. Place them in a blender with the water and the sugar, and add the lemon juice for a citrus touch.

1. Blend at medium high speed for about 1 minute until smooth. Strain if you prefer a silky texture. Serve right away over ice.

## Additional Tips

### Drink it fresh

Vitamin C degrades quickly with oxygen, so drink the juice right after making it.

### Add mint

About 3 fresh mint leaves in the blender add a refreshing aroma.

### Use frozen strawberries

Frozen fruit gives a colder, thicker, almost smoothie like juice with less ice.

| Sugar | Liquid stevia | To taste | Sugar free |
| Fresh strawberries | Frozen strawberries | 500 g | Thicker and colder |

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. Straining is optional for a completely smooth drink. The fiber and seeds are healthy, so leave them in for more nutrients.

### 2. Can I replace the sugar?

Yes, with honey, liquid stevia, or soaked dates. The amount depends on how sweet your strawberries are.

### 3. Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, and it is even better, since you need less ice and get a thicker, colder juice.

### 4. Which fruits go well with strawberry?

Mint, banana for a heartier shake, or blueberries and raspberries for a berry mix.

## Benefits

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants such as anthocyanins.

## Did You Know?

Strawberries contain ellagic acid, a natural compound with antioxidant properties.
