    🧾 Ingredients

    This homemade blueberry juice recipe is made with just a few nutritious ingredients:

    organic blueberry juice recipe ingredients.
    • Organic blueberries 🫐 - adds sweetness and color. XXX
    • Cucumber 🥒 - helps to make the juice more watery
    • Lemon juice 🍋 - brings lots of Vitamin C, acidity, and citrus goodness.
    • Apples 🍎 - adds sweetness and a juicy texture to your dishes. They taste delicious, and apples are packed with antioxidants and vitamins like Vitamin C that help keep you healthy. Use red, green, or yellow. The blueberry juice will be equally good; the green apples make it tarter.
    • Ginger root 🌱 - yum! adds spicy, peppery, and warm notes.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    Blueberry juicing involves 3 simple steps.

    1. Washing and preparing your ingredients. Remove the lemon's skin.
    2. Chopping in sizable chunks.
    3. Juicing your veggies, fruit, and ginger roots.

    Peel the lemon, pick a fresh ginger knob, chop the cucumber and core, and chop the apple.

    Place all the chopped veggies and fruit into the juicer's vase, starting with the softer ones (lemon and blueberries).

    Hint: if you want to make this juice with frozen blueberries instead of fresh berries, place them in a bowl with water for a couple of minutes so they thaw, and then drain them.

    Serve blueberry juice immediately and garnish with a lemon wedge or mint leaves.

    We prefer making our own blueberry juice, naturally sweetened, but you can add a teaspoon of maple syrup if you want to raise its sweetness.

    Hint: if you want to make this blueberry juice but don't have a juicer yet, you can use a blender and a colander to separate the remaining pulp from the fresh juice.

    Read on: how to juice without a juicer (fully-explained technique) or see how to do it for this drink on the recipe card.

    See our juice storing tips to understand better how to keep your leftover juice and retain as many of their ingredients' nutrients as possible.

    🍶 Substitutions

    • Lemons - use any other citrus such as orange or grapefruit.
    • Cucumber - use two celery stalks instead.
    • Apples - use kiwis instead; they make up for sweetness and acidity.

    If you like cucumbers s as part of your juices, you should try this Carrot Cucumber Juice and Pineapple Cucumber Juice.

    🍽 Equipment

    Juicer - choose a cold-pressed juicer over a centrifugal juicer. they are a little more expensive but are definitely the best option in the long run. They yield more juice, and since there is no heat involved as there is in centrifugal users, your juice preserves more nutrients and oxidizes slower (lasts more).

    OR

    1. Blender- if you don't have a juicer, you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link) and,
    2. Fine mesh Strainer - when making juice, use regular colander or nut milk bag. We recommend using the same ones we use to make almond milk.
    3. Bowl - It is always better to use a large bowl (affiliate link) to work the blender method without making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.

    🥡 Storage

    Store this carrot juice in a BPA-free (affiliate link), tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    storing juice tips, three airtight glass containers with white silicon sheath.

    You can freeze your antioxidant-packed juice in an airtight container, but it doesn't stand up well to freezing for more than 3 months. It will never reach the same nutrient density as fresh juice, but you will still enjoy its health benefits.

    💡 Top tips

    • We recommend avoiding letting the blueberry juice sit for too long, as it tends to thicken, and the flavor may be altered after a few minutes.
    • Due to the presence of pectin in the blueberries, the consistency of this blueberry juice may be somewhat thick. It is advisable not to incorporate excessive amounts of water, as it can excessively dilute the flavor.
    • We always add ice cubes to the juice to make it a smooth juice, but you can also add half a glass of fresh water.
    • Add lemon juice to preserve the color of your juices.

    ✅ Blueberry juice benefits

    Drinking blueberry juice can bring amazing health benefits.

    1. High in antioxidants: Blueberry juice is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect your cells from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals and make your immune system stronger. Antioxidants can also help to reduce inflammation in the body.
    2. Improved heart health: Consuming blueberry juice has been linked to reduced blood pressure and improved cholesterol levels, both of which are important factors for maintaining heart diseases in line.
    3. Supports brain function: The high levels of antioxidants in blueberry juice can also help to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of age-related mental decline.
    4. May aid in weight loss: Blueberry juice is relatively low in calories and fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied, reducing the overall amount of food you consume throughout the day.
    5. May reduce the risk of certain cancers: The antioxidants in blueberry juice have also been shown to have anti-cancer properties, potentially reducing the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colon and liver cancer.
    6. Aids digestion - Blueberries have high levels of dietary fiber, which helps with digestion. They also contain antioxidants that can help protect your body from disease and improve overall health.

Regular consumption of blueberry juice has been associated with a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which are the two measurements used to determine blood pressure levels.

    So there are plenty of benefits of blueberries , but why should we choose the organic variety? Organic blueberries have a much higher antioxidant content compared to conventional ones. They are also free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, making them safer for our bodies and the environment.
