This fresh celery juice is light, refreshing, and easy to make. While celery is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health, remember that no single drink can “cleanse” organs on its own. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are key.
Ingredients
1 large bunch fresh celery (about 8–10 stalks)
½ cup cold water (optional, for blending)
A few ice cubes (optional)
A squeeze of lemon (optional, for taste)
Instructions
Wash the celery very well under running water to remove any dirt. If the stalks are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
If using a juicer
Feed the celery pieces into the juicer. Collect the juice in a glass. Stir and serve immediately over ice if desired.
If using a blender
Add the chopped celery and ½ cup cold water into the blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour the mixture through a fine strainer, cheesecloth, or clean kitchen towel into a bowl or pitcher. Press to extract all the juice.
Transfer to a glass and serve immediately.
How to Drink
For best freshness, drink right after preparing. Some people prefer it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also enjoy it as a refreshing afternoon drink.
Optional Add-Ins
Lemon juice for brightness
A small piece of fresh ginger for a little kick
Green apple for natural sweetness
Cucumber for extra hydration
Storage
Fresh celery juice is best consumed immediately. If needed, store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but nutrients are highest when freshly made.
This simple recipe is clean, crisp, and refreshing — perfect if you’re looking for a light green drink to add to your routine.
