To prepare banana-strawberry juice, you can use a conventional juicer. This method has one drawback - a rather high percentage of waste. Meanwhile, the structure of the pulp in strawberries and bananas is very delicate and does not contain coarse fibers. Therefore, using a blender, you can greatly increase the yield of juice. In addition, his taste will be more saturated.

Instruction manual
1
Rinse contaminated berries with water and clean the stalks. If strawberries are without sand and you are sure of their purity, it is better not to wash the berries - they will lose part of their taste and aroma. Pour some water over the strawberries and blender it until smooth.
2
Now peel the banana, cut into small pieces and add to the strawberries. Grind the mixture again to a homogeneous mass. If you chop the banana and strawberries at the same time, there is a high probability that the banana will darken. The finished product will have an unattractive brownish color. In the proposed method, banana slices immediately fall into an acidic environment, and this protects it from darkening.
3
You will get a rather thick mixture that looks more like mashed potatoes than juice. Dilute with cold water. If desired, squeeze the juice of a quarter of a lemon there and mix. Pour the drink into glasses, add ice cubes and decorate with mint or strawberry. Insert a cocktail tube into the glasses and serve.
note
Blenders come in two types. The stationary has a bowl, inside of which there is a knife. The hand blender does not have such a bowl. It is an electric chopper knife and is placed in any vessel with the product itself. Both the one and the other are suitable for making strawberry-banana fresh.
Useful advice
In the same way, using a blender, you can prepare juices from other juicy berries: raspberries, currants, blackberries. Only in this case, the resulting puree must be wiped through a sieve to separate coarse seeds and peel. Then the puree is diluted with water to the desired consistency. If you wish, you can use mineral water with gas. Try also fresh from kiwi. Peel ripe, soft fruits and chop in a blender.
