Berry Detox Juice Ingredients

1 cup packed mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – fresh or frozen)
1 medium cucumber (peeled and chopped into chunks)
1 lemon (peeled and seeded – no bitter pith allowed!)
1-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled – trust me, you don’t want the peel)
1 cup cold water (ice-cold makes it extra refreshing)
1 tbsp raw honey (optional, but adds a lovely sweetness)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Out of fresh berries? No worries – frozen work just as well (thaw them first so your blender doesn’t protest). Not a honey fan? Swap it for agave or skip it altogether for a vegan version. If lemons aren’t your thing, try lime for a different citrusy twist. Oh, and always peel that cucumber and ginger – the skins can add bitterness you don’t want. As for organic? I prefer it when I can, especially for the cucumber and berries, since you’re drinking the whole thing. But don’t stress if it’s not an option – the benefits still shine through!

How to Make Berry Detox Juice

Making this berry detox juice couldn’t be simpler – it’s basically a “dump and blend” situation with a few key tricks to get it just right. Here’s exactly how I do it:

Wash everything! Give those berries, cucumber, lemon, and ginger a good rinse – we’re keeping the peels on some of them, so you want them squeaky clean.
Prep your ingredients – Chop that cucumber into chunks, peel the lemon (get all that white pith off!), and peel the ginger (a spoon works great for scraping off the skin).
Blend it up – Toss everything into your blender with the cold water. I like to pulse a few times first to break things down, then blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Strain for smoothness – Pour through a fine mesh sieve into your serving glass, pressing gently with a spoon to get all that liquid gold out.
Sweeten to taste – Stir in honey if you’re using it – I always taste first because sometimes those berries are sweet enough on their own!
Serve immediately – This berry detox juice is best enjoyed fresh over ice. The flavors are brightest right after making it!

Pro Tips for the Best Berry Detox Juice

Ice-cold water is key – It makes all the difference for that refreshing, wake-you-up quality
Blend in batches if needed – Some blenders struggle with large volumes, so do half at a time
Taste before sweetening – Those berries might surprise you with their natural sweetness
Double strain for silky texture – If you’re picky about pulp, strain through cheesecloth after the sieve

Serving & Storage Suggestions

Nothing beats sipping this berry detox juice over ice with a few fresh mint leaves – it turns a healthy drink into something truly special! If you must store it (though I always recommend drinking it fresh), pour it into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as natural separation happens. One important note: don’t freeze this juice – the texture goes weird and you’ll lose all that fresh berry brightness. Trust me, it’s worth making fresh each time!

Berry Detox Juice FAQs

I get questions about this berry detox juice all the time – here are the ones that come up most often with my honest answers:

Can I use frozen berries? Absolutely! They work great – just thaw them first so your blender doesn’t throw a fit. Frozen berries actually make the juice extra cold and refreshing.

How long does this juice last? Honestly? It’s best right after making it, but if you must store it, 24 hours max in the fridge in a sealed container. The flavors start fading fast!

Is honey necessary? Nope! It’s totally optional. I skip it when I want a vegan version or when my berries are super sweet on their own.

Can I add greens? Oh yes! A handful of spinach blends in perfectly – you won’t even taste it but get extra nutrients. Kale works too if you blend it really well.
