How to Make a Kiwi Strawberry Juice
Preparing kiwi strawberry juice can be an easy and delicious way to get some of your daily fruit servings in while also shaking up your regular routine of the same old juices and smoothies. This particular combination contains plenty of vitamin C, which will help to give you energy throughout the day and protect your immune system, as well as fiber, which will fill you up without adding too many calories. Plus, it’s pretty simple to make; check out these instructions on how to make kiwi strawberry juice at home!
Step 1: Gather ingredients
Wash and slice 3 kiwis and 4 strawberries. Step 2: Mix it together: Add them all into your blender. Step 3: Blend it up!: Put in some ice cubes and blend away until it’s nice and smooth! Optional step: Garnish with some mint leaves or orange slices if you like. Step 4: Drink up!
Step 2: Remove outer shell from strawberries
Place strawberries in boiling water for 5 minutes. This process helps soften skin, making it easier to remove outer shell. Remove strawberries from boiling water and place in cool running water for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. While you are waiting for them to get cool enough, slice kiwis into two thin pieces. Then take strawberries out of cool running water and place on cutting board and cut off fruit around skin using a knife or vegetable peeler as needed. Once all berries are removed from their outer shells, chop up berries into small pieces using either a knife or food processor (this will help liquefy mixture more quickly). Set aside until you finish step 3.
Step 3: In a blender
Place in blender three kiwis, 1 cup of strawberries and 2 cups of water. Process until desired consistency is reached. Once blended, strain through fine sieve or chinois. Serve chilled over ice cubes. Serves 2-3 people (makes 1 cup).
Step 4: Pour it into an ice cube tray
With silicone or rubber ice cube trays, you can make kiwi strawberry juice cubes for later use. Keep them in your freezer for up to three months. If you’re not using silicon ice cube trays, transfer your juice into separate small cups and put them in your freezer until frozen. The only downside of freezing fruit juice is that it does change its texture slightly when thawed, but most people don’t notice or mind because it still tastes great. These chilled cubes are then ready to add to smoothies or other juices whenever you want an extra fruit kick!
Step 5: Freeze until solid and enjoy later!
Make sure that you’re freezing your kiwi strawberry juice in individual servings. That way, when you want a glass, it’s already ready to go! Plus, there will be no ice diluting or watering down your juice—you can drink it straight from the freezer.
Step 6: Use your ice cubes in place of water in smoothies or juices.
You can also freeze your favorite fruit juice and then use it in place of water when making smoothies or juice cocktails. This is great because it will extend your batch without having to make more than one serving at a time. You can also put ice cubes in place of water when making juice. It’s good for diluting some of those really sweet fruits that are very high in sugar content (like bananas). Also, you can save some money by buying cheaper bottled juices and freezing them so you don’t have to buy them as often.
Step 7. Optional - flavor with an herb or tea
Add your herbal or tea flavoring. If you are using an herb, be sure it is fresh and if possible organic. Using dried herbs is not recommended for beginners because it will be very hard to predict potency. I am personally fond of Spearmint, but some other great choices are Chamomile, Earl Grey and peppermint (if you like mint). Soak 1-2 teaspoons in hot water for 10 minutes. Steep in hot water for 15 minutes then cool down quickly by adding ice cubes or pouring over ice once cooled down by placing bowl in sink filled with cold water and ice cubes. Also add more lemon juice for a refreshing summer drink! Store in airtight glass container and refrigerate after opening!
