Ingredients
Pure Green Juice Base:
1 large bunch Organic celery (about 9–11 stalks), washed and chopped
Optional Zesty Enhancers:
1/2 medium Green apple (for natural, crisp sweetness)
1/2 inch Fresh ginger root (for an anti-inflammatory kick)
1/2 lemon, juiced (for bright citrus flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Wash & Prep: Thoroughly wash the celery bunch under cold running water to remove any dirt or soil. Chop the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
2. Blend: Place the chopped celery pieces (and optional apple/ginger) into your high-speed blender. Add a splash (2-3 tbsp) of cold water just to help the blades catch. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and liquefied.
3. Strain: Place a nut milk bag or fine-mesh strainer over a glass measuring cup or bowl. Pour the blended celery puree into the bag and squeeze tightly to extract every drop of vibrant green juice.
4. Serve Fresh: Pour into a chilled glass over ice, stir in fresh lemon juice if using, and drink immediately on an empty stomach!
Chef’s Tips
Drink Fresh on an Empty Stomach: For optimal absorption and digestive benefits, drink your celery juice fresh in the morning 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast!
Save the Pulp: Don’t throw away the left-over celery fiber pulp! Mix it into veggie burger patties, soups, or high-fiber morning egg muffins!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I make celery juice ahead of time?
Fresh celery juice is best enjoyed immediately after straining for maximum nutrient potency! However, you can store it in a tightly sealed glass mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
