Looking for a fresh, naturally sweet juice your kids will love? This Berry Blast Juice is a vibrant, antioxidant-packed drink made with just three ingredients: strawberries, blueberries, and apples. It’s a colorful, nutritious alternative to store-bought juice—with no added sugar and maximum flavor. Perfect for kids’ lunches, breakfasts, or snack time!

This homemade juice is a staple in our kitchen, and here’s exactly how I make it using a cold press juicer for maximum health benefits.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • 4 cups of strawberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 cups of blueberries

  • 4 apples (any variety—sweet ones work best)

- Prep the Fruit Like a Pro

  1. Soak the berries in water with a splash of white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) for a few minutes to remove dirt and bacteria. Rinse thoroughly.

  2. Remove any bad or moldy berries before juicing.

  3. Core the apples and remove all seeds.

    🔒 Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which can release trace amounts of cyanide—best to skip them, especially for kids.

Start Juicing

Once the fruit is washed and prepped:

  • Add strawberries, blueberries, and apples into a cold press juicer in batches.

  • Alternate between soft fruits (berries) and firm ones (apples) to help move everything through smoothly.

  • I love saving the pulp—especially the strawberry bits! I freeze it and add to smoothies for extra fiber and flavor.

This recipe yields about 4 cups of juice, but I realized I forgot two apples while filming—so you'll probably get closer to 5 cups if you follow it correctly. 😄

Health Benefits of Berry Blast Juice

  • Antioxidant Power: Berries are loaded with antioxidants that boost the immune system and promote brain function.

  • Heart Health: Blueberries contain anthocyanins, known to support cardiovascular health.

  • Detox & Immunity: Apples bring in quercetin and catechin—potent antioxidants that fight inflammation and oxidative stress.

Why Cold Press Juicing?

Using a cold press juicer is key to preserving nutrients. Unlike traditional juicers, cold press machines extract juice without heat, keeping more enzymes, vitamins, and minerals intact.

I used the TOPZEE Cold Press Juicer—it’s gentle, quiet, and perfect for daily juicing.

Storage Tips

  • Store juice in food-grade bottles and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.

  • These bottles are great for school lunches and on-the-go hydration.

  • Freeze leftover pulp or pour juice into ice cube trays for fun additions to smoothies or water!

Final Thoughts

Homemade juices like this Berry Blast are not just nutritious—they’re fun, customizable, and budget-friendly. You know exactly what's in them, and your kids will love the taste.
