Simple Celery Green Juice

 Description

A refreshing, hydrating green juice made primarily from fresh celery. It’s light, low in calories, and packed with vitamins and antioxidants. While often promoted as a “detox drink,” it’s best enjoyed as a healthy addition to a balanced diet rather than a cure-all.

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 4–6 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 1 cup cold water (adjust for consistency)
  • Juice of ½–1 lemon
  • ½ green apple or ½ cucumber (optional, for taste)
  • Small piece of fresh ginger (optional)
  • Handful of parsley or cilantro (optional)

 Instructions

  1. Wash celery and all ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Chop celery into smaller pieces.
  3. Add everything to a blender with water.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Strain using a sieve or cheesecloth (optional).
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

 Servings

 Tips

 

appleAdd if the taste is too strong or bitter.
