Fresh-pressed forest berry juice Calories

You can make fresh-pressed forest berry juice without a juicer by blending washed berries with a little water, then pressing the mixture through a fine sieve. Leaving it unstrained gives you a thicker drink with more pulp.

Fresh-pressed forest berry juice can taste tart because berries such as raspberries and blackberries are naturally sharp, especially when they are not fully ripe. Add sweeter ripe berries, such as strawberries, rather than relying on extra sugar.

Fresh-pressed forest berry juice is made from freshly squeezed berries, while bottled versions may be pasteurised, blended with other juices or sweetened. Check the product details if you are comparing ingredients; fresh juice is best enjoyed soon after pressing.

Store fresh-pressed forest berry juice in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator. Its flavour and colour can change as it sits, so make only what you plan to drink soon and give it a stir before serving.

Yes, fresh-pressed forest berry juice can be frozen in a freezer-safe container with room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well, since the juice and berry pulp may separate.
