Ingredients needed
Learn how to make celery juice with 100% whole, nourishing ingredients. Here’s everything that goes into my fresh recipe:
Celery
A celery juice staple, I use three large celery stalks in my daily juice. Organic celery is always preferable, but any kind will do!
Green apple
For a sweet and tart addition, I add a chopped green apple to this celery juice recipe.
The apple makes the celery juice taste amazing! But if you want to keep this juice keto-friendly, just omit this ingredient.
Cucumber
For a fresh flavor, this juice calls for peeled and sliced cucumber.
Cucumber is ultra-hydrating, nutrient-rich, and great for digestive health!
Ginger
Freshly grated ginger adds a bit of spicy flavor to this juice.
Ginger is a health food powerhouse known to potentially aid digestion, reduce inflammation, provide pain relief to sore muscles, and lower blood sugar levels.
In other words, it’s a must-have ingredient when making any healthy juice!
Lemon juice
Rich in vitamin C and another digestion aid  – lemon juice is a natural addition to this recipe.
Water
Depending on your preference, you may want to add a splash of water to your juice to adjust the consistency.
Water can also dilute the flavor of this for a subtler flavor.
Juice tips
Ready to get into making this fresh celery juice recipe? Here are a few tips to get the best results:
- Blend your ingredients for several minutes, allowing all the ingredients to break down.
- Dilute your celery juice with a splash of water for a subtler flavor.
- Add your juiced ingredients to a fine-mesh sieve, removing all the pulp from your mixture for a pleasant texture; this comes highly recommended if using a food processor or high-speed blender!
- Drink your celery juice immediately for the best flavor possible.
- Serve this celery juice chilled on ice. Bonus points for using a chilled glass!
How to make celery juice
Making this homemade celery juice couldn’t be easier! Here’s how to make celery juice. You’ll be able to enjoy fresh celery juice in just minutes:
Step 1: Juice ingredients
Our first step is to juice all of your ingredients.
Add your celery, cucumber, green apple, grated ginger, and lemon juice to a juicer or food processor. Then, get blending!
You’ll want to give your ingredients enough time to properly juice  – about 4 minutes.
Step 2: Dilute mixture
If your juice is a bit too thick, you can add a little water to the mixture, blending to combine. This will also dilute the flavor for a subtler taste.
Step 3: Strain
Next up, add your juice to a clean nut milk bag or fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl.
Press on the pulp to get as much juice out as possible.
Step 4: Stir to combine
Give your juice a little stir to ensure all of the flavors are nice and combined.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
I find this celery juice is best enjoyed cold.
Pour the celery juice into a chilled glass filled with ice and drink up!
How to serve celery juice
The best part about this celery juice is that it can truly be enjoyed at any time of day!
Drink this juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to start your day right. Because it’s so low calorie, I recommend pairing it with a tasty breakfast option like keto egg bites, pumpkin muffins with cranberries and pecans, or air fryer soft-boiled eggs to help keep you full.
For a refreshing snack food combo, enjoy this celery juice with air fryer kale chips, a chocolate chip protein cookie, or low-carb tortilla chips served with creamy avocado sauce.
Finally, enjoy this healthy celery juice along with a fresh salad like my arugula goat cheese salad with strawberries, keto southwest chicken salad, or baby kale salad with avocado.
Celery juice variations
While this celery juice is already packed with delicious, nutritious ingredients, you can always change things up!
Here are a few fun variations to get you started as you learn how to make celery juice:
- Create a keto version of this celery juice by omitting the green apple; this will lower the carb count significantly!
- Add additional fruits or vegetables for more health benefits and flavor.
- Include a handful of fresh mint for a herby zing to your green juice!
- Add a dash of turmeric and black pepper to your juice for a health boost.
- Try adding celery seeds to the juice to increase the nutritional value and add a complex grassy flavor.
FAQs
Here are the questions I hear the most about “how to make celery juice.” If I don’t answer your question here, feel free to leave it for me in the comments below.
Preparing celery for juicing isn’t complicated. There are, however, a few tips to make the best celery juice possible!
Choose fresh celery stalks, preferably organic, without any visible wilting or discoloration.
Give your celery a thorough wash to remove any dirt, debris, and possible pesticides; these have no place in your juice!
Trim the ends of your celery, both root and leafy tops! These parts tend to be bitter and won’t taste great when juiced.
And just like that, you’re ready to juice!
It is definitely okay to drink celery juice on a regular basis. Fresh juice can be a healthy addition to your regular diet, especially when filled with nutritious ingredients like celery, cucumber, and lemon juice.
It’s important to remember, however, that relying on celery juice for daily meals could have negative consequences on your health!
Juice cleanses are meant to be temporary, not regular practice.
Remember to enjoy celery juice as part of a balanced meal plan – whole foods included!
You can still make celery juice at home if you don’t have a juicer. Simply use a high-speed blender or a food processor.
If you opt for this option, do note that your celery juice will have a pulpier texture. If you love pulp – great for you!
Otherwise, simply strain the pulp from your celery juice using a nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve.
One of the benefits of making celery juice is that there are several easy ways to do it without buying a fancy-schmancy blender.
Using a high-speed blender or food processor that you already have on hand will totally work.
If you find you’re making a lot of celery juice and are enjoying fresh-blended juices regularly, you may want to invest in a juicer!
Juicers are much more convenient for blended celery; they remove all the pulp from your ingredients, produce a more concentrated and nutrient-rich juice, and tend to produce a purer flavor.
I suggest trying a cold-press juicer or twin-gear juicer for regular juicing.
Eating celery and drinking it juiced both come with various benefits.
Reported celery juice benefits include:
-Increased hydration from hydrating cucumber and celery
-Improved digestive health and reduced bloating
-Anti-inflammatory properties
-Great source of antioxidants that can reduce your risk of chronic diseases
-Improved skin health, including reduced acne and clearer complexions
-Low-calorie count that can aid weight management
-Alkalizing properties can help balance your body’s pH levels
-Filled with nutrient-rich ingredients, with vitamin K, Vitamin C, folate, and potassium.
