Doesn’t it feel like time is constantly moving and maybe even quicker as we get older and life gets busier? Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t have the same energy I used to have when I was in my early 20s and even though much of the time I feel bright and energized, sometimes I just want a boost. On the days when I am not highly motivated to exercise or if I had a restless night, I just love to drink something naturally stimulizing and filled with essentials. This Mix Berry Energy Shot has been just the thing! Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee in the morning, or drinking something loaded with sugar, I’ve been making batches of this homemade energy drink and enjoying them around 3pm when that crash starts to set in.
These Mix Berry Energy Shots are fresh, fruity, and seriously energizing, it’s basically a homemade energy drink but packed with antioxidants, natural caffeine, and zero refined sugar instead of being loaded up with a bunch of crap! Whether you’re heading to a workout, powering through your to-do list, or just trying to stay awake past 3 p.m., this is your new go-to. Made with real fruit, green tea, coconut water, and ginger, these berry juice shots are like a reset button in a glass — no jittery crash, no artificial stuff, just good vibes and glowing skin. Let’s juice!
Every component in this recipe plays a role in boosting energy, hydration, and overall wellness. Here’s what you’ll need:
Well my friends, the benefits are endless. Naturally, anytime you enjoy something that is grown from the earth, you are going to get a wealth of benefits, but this drink right here is like natural energy, next level. This is like maybe one of the most LA things I’ve ever made aside from the erewhon copycat smoothie because isn’t everyone here looking for natural ways to boost their energy, keep looking young and feel their best?
This mix berry juice is more than just delicious — it’s one of the best homemade energy drinks you can make. Packed with antioxidant-rich berries like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, it helps fight inflammation and supports cellular health. The natural combination of fresh ingredients and zero sugar means you get all the benefits of a boost without the crash of artificial energy drinks. With its hydrating base of coconut water and immune-boosting lemon juice, this berry juice homemade recipe is a powerhouse of nutrients. Plus, it’s made with real fruit and no refined sugar, so you know it’s the real deal.
The addition of green tea brings a gentle lift of caffeine, making it a perfect homemade energy drink for mornings or midday slumps. The ginger adds a warming kick that supports digestion and makes each sip feel like a wellness ritual. This blend of natural energy drink ingredients is what makes it one of the best natural drinks for energy, and an easy choice if you’re looking to make your own energy drink at home.
You don’t need a juicer or any fancy tools to make this easy homemade energy drink — just a blender, a fine mesh sieve, and a few minutes!
Start by brewing your green tea and setting it aside to cool. This will be the base for your natural energy boost. The tea adds gentle caffeine and earthy flavor, making your homemade energy drink both refreshing and energizing.
Rinse all the berries under cool water, slice the strawberries for easier blending, and peel and chop the fresh ginger. Prepping everything ahead of time keeps the blending process smooth and quick.
Add all your ingredients — berries, lemon juice, coconut water, sweetener if using, cooled green tea, and ginger — into a high-speed blender. Blend until everything is completely smooth. This is where the magic happens: vibrant color, rich flavor, and all the natural energy drink ingredients come together.
Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds. Transfer the smooth juice into reusable glass shot jars or an airtight mason jar. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a fresh homemade energy shot anytime you need a natural lift. Need the right equipment? You can find everything you need to make these shots here.
One of the best parts about this homemade energy drink is how easy it is to customize. If you don’t have strawberries on hand, swap them out for cherries or cranberries. No coconut water? Try cucumber juice, watermelon juice, or plain filtered water as your liquid base. Want to increase the caffeine content? Use yerba mate or black tea instead of green tea for a stronger lift. This is a flexible natural energy drink recipe that works with whatever you have on hand, and it always tastes delicious.
If you like things sweeter, toss in a pitted date, or add a bit more maple syrup or raw honey. Looking for extra spice or an immune boost? A dash of cayenne or a sprinkle of turmeric turns this into a fiery wellness shot. And if you’re low on fresh berries, frozen ones work perfectly — just let them thaw slightly before blending.
This is not your basic mixed berry juice. These mix berry energy shots are full of flavor and functional benefits — delivering real energy from clean, whole ingredients. With zero sugar from refined sources, these homemade energy drinks are naturally hydrating thanks to coconut water, loaded with vitamin C, and rich in antioxidants from the berries and lemon. They’re also made with green tea and ginger, two of the most trusted natural energy drink ingredients for sustained focus and gentle digestion support.
How long does mix berry juice last in the fridge? Up to 7 days in a sealed glass container.
Can I use frozen berries? Absolutely. Let them thaw slightly before blending for best results.
Is this an all natural energy drink? Yes! Every ingredient is a whole food or naturally derived — no artificial additives.
Can I skip the tea or caffeine? You can! Just add extra coconut water or try herbal tea instead.
Is this kid-friendly? Yes — if you skip the green tea, this makes a delicious berry juice recipe for kids, too!
