BERRY ANTIOXIDANT BLISS

Berry Antioxidant Bliss is a deliciously vibrant drink that combines the natural sweetness of blueberries, strawberries and apples for a refreshing, nutrient-rich beverage packed with antioxidants. Blueberries and strawberries are known for their high levels of vitamin C and flavonoids, which help support immune function and protect against oxidative stress. Apple adds a crisp, slightly tart flavour while providing additional fibre and hydration. Blended with pure water, this drink is light, revitalising and perfect for any time of day. Whether enjoyed as a morning energiser, an afternoon refresher or a post-workout recovery drink, this juice is an excellent way to boost your body’s defences naturally. With no added sugars or artificial ingredients, this delivers a naturally sweet, tangy flavour that is both refreshing and satisfying. Its simple yet powerful combination of fruits makes it a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their daily intake of essential vitamins and minerals.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this berry antioxidant bliss.

  • Use Ripe Berries: Fresh, ripe blueberries and strawberries provide the best natural sweetness and flavour.
  • Chill Ingredients: Refrigerate the apple, berries and water beforehand for a naturally cooler drink.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A small squeeze of lemon juice can add a slight citrusy tang and boost vitamin C content.
  • Make It A Smoothie: Blend with ice or a frozen banana for a thicker, smoothie-like texture.
  • Add A Superfood Boost: A teaspoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds or acai powder can enhance the drink’s nutritional value.

VARIATIONS

  • Tropical Berry Blend: Add a few pineapple chunks for extratropical sweetness.
  • Green Antioxidant Juice: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for an extra vitamin boost.
  • Berry Citrus Fusion: Add a splash of orange juice for a vibrant, tangy twist.
  • Spiced Detox Drink: A pinch of cinnamon or ginger can provide additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Creamy Berry Bliss: Replace water with coconut water or almond milk for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Hydration Power Juice: Add cucumber slices to increase hydration and lighten the flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as natural separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Freeze in ice cube trays and blend later for an instant smoothie or add to other juices for extra flavour.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Make a double batch and store it in small bottles for quick grab-and-go hydration throughout the week.
