Highlights & Tips
Making this juice takes a juicer and blender so make sure you have both before you start. It's always best to have a "base" to your juice. Picking a vegetable that has a good amount of liquid like cucumbers, carrots or celery.
​
You will want to juice your vegetables first. Then add the vegetable juice to the blender and add the berries and blend till silky smooth.
​
Health Benefits
​
Each fruit and vegetable has several benefits! The best things about this juice is the burst of berry flavor you get when making it.

Recipe Supplies
Blenders are a must in your kitchen especially if you want to make juice or smoothies!
Use some easy to use and clean chopping boards to chop up your fruits and vegetables
Purchase your own juicer for home to quickly whip up a fresh glass of juice. There are so many juicers on the market but you can start with a simple one that is inexpensive to see if juicing is for you
Presentation
You can use any glass you want for this drink. I like glass tumblers or a mason jar. Add some fresh mint as a garnish and you have the best juice to enjoy!
Budget Tips
If you want to save a little money make your own juice. If you buy your produce in bulk and clean and prep things yourself you will save a little money. I purchase some of my vegetables at a club like Costco or a local farmers market. I'm blessed to live near a weekly farmers market and know several vendors who give me a deal on fresh veggies if I buy bulk and buy often! If a farmers market is not available try asking your local grocery manager if they can get a bigger pack size of fresh fruit and vegetables. You would be surprised what you might find.
Storage Recommendations
​
Storage is VERY important when holding on to your juice! First it's important to know if using a centrifugal juicer your fresh juice will only be good for 24 hours if sealed in a tight jar or bottle in the refrigerator. If using a masticating or cold press juicer you can hold onto your juice for 3-4 days in a refrigerator.
​
Its best to drink your fresh juice right away but if you can't place it in a tight sealed jar or bottle with little air. The sooner you drink your fresh juice the more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals you will consume!
What to do with left over's or extra product?
Make a scrumptious berry salad or cut up some remaining fruit for part of your breakfast. It's also tasty to add some berries to a green kale salad. You can also dip them into vegan chocolate and have chocolate or add vegan chocolate chips into the center of the raspberries for a sweet snack!

RECIPE TIPS
Wash your fruit and vegetables really well to prevent any sickness. We suggest adding a couple tablespoons of white distilled vinegar to the water when cleaning your fruits and vegetables. Then set you produce out on a towel to dry off before storing. This will help prevent molding.
​
If you don't like seeds you can strain the juice to get rid of the seeds.
