Introduction

Fresh celery juice is a revitalizing and hydrating drink that’s simple to prepare and packed with nutrients. Whether you use a juicer or a blender, this recipe brings out the crisp, clean flavor of celery with an optional hint of lime for added brightness.

Two tall clear glasses filled with bright green celery juice, each glass topped with a frothy light green layer and garnished with fresh celery leaves standing upright. Both glasses have two green and white striped paper straws emerging from the juice near the celery garnish. The glasses stand on a white marbled surface, surrounded by celery stalks and lime wedges scattered around. The background shows a whole lime and a blurred black kitchen appliance. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 bunches of celery
1 lime, skin removed (optional, for better taste)
1/2 cup water (if using a blender to make the juice)

Instructions

Step 1: Chop off the base and tops of the celery stalks from both bunches and place the stalks in a colander. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Step 2: If using a juicer, feed the celery stalks and lime through the feeding tube to extract the juice.
Step 3: If using a blender, add the celery stalks and lime pieces to the pitcher along with 1/2 cup of water. Use a tamper to push the celery down into the blades as you blend until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or fine strainer to separate the juice from the pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.
Step 5: Serve the celery juice immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight jar.

Tips & Variations

Use organic celery for a cleaner taste and to avoid pesticides.
Add the juice of one lime to enhance flavor without overpowering the celery.
For a stronger flavor, juice celery early in the morning on an empty stomach.
If you prefer thicker juice, reduce the water when blending or skip it if your blender can handle it.

Storage

Store leftover celery juice in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. For best taste and nutrient retention, consume it within 3 days. Shake or stir before drinking, and enjoy chilled. Avoid freezing as it changes the texture and flavor.

How to Serve

A tall clear glass filled with a bright green juice, showing soft ice cubes inside. The juice has a smooth, thick texture and fills the glass fully with a little froth on top. Two white straws with green stripes stick out from the glass, and a fresh celery leaf is placed next to the straws, adding a leafy touch at the top. On the white marbled surface beside the glass, there are light green celery leaves to the left and two lime wedges to the right, their pale green insides visible. The whole scene is clean and bright with natural light. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a blender instead of a juicer for celery juice?

Yes, you can blend celery with a bit of water and then strain the mixture using a nut milk bag or fine strainer to remove pulp. This method works well if you don’t have a juicer.

Is it necessary to add lime to celery juice?

No, lime is optional. It adds a fresh, slightly tangy flavor that some find makes the juice more enjoyable, but pure celery juice is traditional and perfectly fine on its own.
