# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting for coffee to brew and feels like a vitamin bomb in a glass.
  • You can use frozen berries straight from the freezer, no thawing or planning ahead required.
  • The color alone makes you feel like youre doing something good for yourself.
02 -
  • If you skip straining, the juice will be thicker and more filling, which some people love and others find too pulpy.
  • Cranberries can be aggressively tart, so taste before you decide whether to add sweetener or you might end up with berry syrup instead of juice.
03 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen berries, let them sit at room temperature for five minutes or add the water first to help everything move.
  • Straining takes patience, don't press too hard or you'll push pulp through and end up with gritty juice.
