Fresh Berry Juice

Upon opening the fridge and looking in an idea hit me, we had blueberries, raspberries and strawberries that we've had for about a week. 

"Why not try a berry juice?" instantly hit me.

 I wasn't originally planning on juicing today but I knew if I waited too long that I might be out of luck to use these fruit. Upon a bit closer inspection they were all still good so they got washed. 

Here's the list of what we had: 

• 1 pint of blueberries
• 1 pint of raspberries
• approximately 1 pint of strawberries

The net result of the mixture was this very nice pink juice. There wasn't quite as much as I normally make but considering I'm usually the only one drinking it was a single portion which is good. 

A couple things I did notice when juicing these fruit, the raspberries, just like blackberries before juiced to an almost gelatinous consistency. When all was said and done the juice had a consistency closer to a smoothie than some of the other juices I've made.

I was expecting this to be a bit sweeter, but needless to say it was a nice sweet/tart juice. I'm sure this would change if we used some in season fresh organic fruit. Another way to make this sweeter would be add maybe a cup or half a cup of grapes.

Finally the remainders that were left over also had a distinctly gelatinous consistency, I think that we could probably take these and mix them back into the juice to make a full blown smoothie. I think you could also take these and freeze them for popsicles.
