Pro tips

  • Strawberries and melon are high on the mushy spectrum, learn the cold press technique: Avoiding Press Overflow

  • This is great as a seasonal recipe. In the US, June is prime time for strawberries, and cantaloupes best season is from June until August. When produce is “in season”, it tastes the best, is readily available, and typically is less expensive.

  • Kiwi goes great with strawberry, but it doesn’t juice so well. You can try adding fresh kiwi puree instead for a fancy treat, learn how to here: How to Add Purees to Juice

  • The finished juice can work well as a smoothie base!
