I started making apple plum juice after buying too many plums one week and realizing they were getting soft way faster than expected. I threw them into the blender with apples mostly hoping for the best, and honestly it turned out way better than I expected. The apples make the juice naturally sweet while the plums give it a slightly deeper flavor that makes it taste a little different from the usual fruit juices.
What I like about this juice is that it tastes refreshing without needing a bunch of extra ingredients or added sugar. It’s one of those drinks that looks pretty too, especially once chilled. If you already like recipes like Apple Cucumber Juice, Carrot apple juice, or Celery Apple Cucumber Juice, this apple plum juice fits perfectly into that fresh homemade drink rotation.
Why You Will Love This Apple Plum Juice
What I love most about this juice is how naturally sweet it tastes without becoming overly sugary. The apples balance the plums really nicely.
It’s also really refreshing served cold, especially on warm days when heavier drinks sound terrible.
Another thing I like is the color. The plums give the juice such a pretty rich tone without needing anything artificial.
You can also adjust it easily depending on what apples you use. Sweeter apples make the juice softer while tart apples give it more sharpness.
What You Will Need For Apple Plum Juice
A blender works best for getting the fruit completely smooth before straining if needed. A basic blender works perfectly fine here.
You’ll also need a fine mesh strainer if you want a smoother juice texture without pulp.
A sharp knife helps with chopping the fruit evenly and removing the plum pits safely.
If you like really cold juice, serving glasses chilled in the fridge make a bigger difference than people think honestly.
Ingredients Needed
- 3 apples, chopped
- 4 plums, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1½ cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey, optional
- Ice cubes for serving
How To Make The Juice
Wash and chop the apples and plums.
Add the apples, plums, lemon juice, and cold water into a blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Taste and add honey if you want extra sweetness.
For smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
Pour over ice and serve cold.
I usually chill the juice for a little while before serving because the flavor tastes even better once really cold. This juice also goes really well with Red Velvet Cake, Protein Bagels, or even Pumpkin Roll if you want something sweet later on.
Tips For Apple Plum Juice
Red plums usually give the juice a richer color compared to lighter varieties.
If the juice feels too thick after blending, add a little extra cold water until you like the texture better.
Leaving the apple skins on adds extra flavor and color, so I usually don’t bother peeling them.
Fresh lemon juice helps brighten the flavor and balances the sweetness really well.
