a fun fact about blueberries and juice

Blueberries are often called "nature's candy" because of their natural sweetness. They also have one of the highest antioxidant levels of any fruit, which means every sip of blueberry juice is good for you in more ways than one.

why you'll love this blueberry juice recipe

This recipe is perfect if you:

want a naturally sweet drink without added sugars
need something quick and refreshing (done in 10 minutes!)
like recipes you can make with pantry or freezer staples

It's also family-friendly and a fun way to sneak more fruit into your day.

ingredient notes

You'll only need two ingredients for this juice:

blueberries - smaller berries with a deep blue pigment tend to be the sweetest and most flavorful. Frozen blueberries work just as well since they're picked and frozen at peak ripeness.
filtered water - blending with cold water makes straining much easier.

That's it! You can add lemon juice, honey, or mint leaves if you like, but the base recipe only needs two things.

step-by-step instructions for making blueberry juice

step 1: prep

If you're using fresh blueberries, wash and drain them well. If frozen, let them thaw completely before blending.

step 2: purée

Add the blueberries to a blender or food processor with ⅓ cup cold water. Pulse a few times, then blend until liquified.

step 3: strain

Place a mesh sieve over a bowl. Pour the purée through and use a spatula to push it through. This separates the juice from the pulp.

Tip: if the pulp still looks juicy, return it to the blender with another ¼ cup of water, pulse, and strain again.

step 4: serve

Pour the juice into glasses. You can enjoy it plain, pour it over ice, or dilute with water until it's the consistency you like best.

tips for perfect blueberry juice

Use frozen blueberries when fresh aren't in season. They give the juice a naturally chilled taste.
For extra-smooth juice, strain it twice or use cheesecloth instead of a sieve.
Want some fizz? Add sparkling water before serving.

how to store leftovers

Keep the juice in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze it in ice cube trays-perfect for smoothies or quick drinks later.

kitchen equipment you'll need
