What is Celery Juice?
Celery juice is an intensely healthy drink made from pulverized fresh celery and water popular for detoxing, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and antioxidant properties. While not all the claims are backed by science, plenty of studies support at least 6 areas that strongly benefit human health.
Benefits of Celery Juice
Drinking celery juice specifically provides the following benefits:
- Boosts immunity
- Detoxes the body
- Lowers inflammation
- Lowers cholesterol
- Supports digestion
- Benefits joints
Ingredients
Fresh celery. Use organic celery as opposed to not organic since celery is considered one of those vegetables that retains pesticides. To make about 16 ounces of celery juice, you'll need about 1 package of 2 celery hearts.
Ginger root. Use a knob of fresh ginger root.
Limes. Limes with the peel on add fiber, and a ton of vitamin C as well as give the celery juice a sweet aftertaste.
White Grapes. Sometimes called green grapes, this fruit adds a fresh sweet flavor and also fiber and micronutrients.
See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Steps to Make Celery Juice
For more detail, visit the complete recipe at the bottom of this post, but here are general steps.
Step 1: Prepare ingredients.
1.Wash the celery in cold clean water, pulling off stalks, and rubbing off any dirt with a small brush or even a toothbrush. Chop roughly, including celery leaves.
2.Wash ginger root with cold clean water, also rubbing or brushing off any outside dirt, and chop roughly, including skin. Don't peel.
3.Wash the lime in cold clean water, and chop in chunks, leaving peel. Slice in chunks.
4.Wash the grapes in cold clean water in a colander, and toss any wooden stems. Cut them or not.
Step 2: Either use a juicer and or a blender.
To use a juicer, feed the celery stalks through the juicer's feeding tube. There is no need to add water. Process and enjoy the juice or store.
If using a blender, add water and process for about 1 minute or until all elements are pulverized and the liquid is cloudy but not chunky.
Step 3: Then pour the mixture into a strainer and push the mixture through the strainer with a spoon or rubber spatula until solids remain behind. The captured liquid is your fresh juice! You can strain twice if necessary to remove any sediment that made it through the strainer.

Step 4: Drink the juice right away or save it in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours in the fridge. It also tastes better chilled, so I suggest you either drink it over ice or refrigerate for an hour or more before drinking.
Recipe Tips
1. When you are cutting the celery stalks, include the celery leaves for added fiber and nutrients.
2. Don't peel the ginger or lime. You will be straining the pulp off.
3. Don't keep the pulp to add to smoothies as I recommend in my ginger juice recipe as the presence of peel will carry a bitter flavor.
4. For an extra clear juice, add a cheesecloth to the strainer so that you are capturing all the sediment.
Blender vs Juicer
Science shows juices made in a blender hold more fiber and more antioxidants! [source] It's quite easy to blend up ingredients and push them through a strainer to remove the pulp and capture a fresh, healthy juice.
The benefit of using a juicer is the resulting juice is more concentrated. Here is Breville Juice Fountain , more budget friendly than most and easy to clean.
Storage
Nutrients are always strongest the first hour a fresh juice or shot are made. A fresh homemade juice refrigerated in a tightly covered jar retains 90% of its nutrients within 24 hours.
However, you can capture this freshness by freezing the celery juice in ice cube trays, and putting a few in a glass the prior night, refrigerated, so they are melted by morning and ready for drinking.
Variations
Add other fruits & vegetables to celery juice. You can mix and match other fruits and vegetables and blend those into your celery juice.
Celery juice and water recipe. Blending only 2 ingredients, celery juice and water would match the juice recipe proposed by Anthony William, the first blogger to recommend it under the name of Medical Medium.
When to Drink Celery Juice
Drink celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach to more quickly absorb nutrients.
FAQS
