Instructions
Prepare Celery
- I wash 1 bunch of celery thoroughly, trim the ends, and chop stalks into 2-inch pieces for easier juicing or blending.
Juice or Blend
- Using a juicer, I process the celery to yield ~16 oz of juice. If using a blender, I blend the celery with 1 cup cold water until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove pulp.
Add Optional Flavors
- For extra flavor, I juice or blend in 1 green apple, 1 tbsp lemon juice, or a 1-inch piece of ginger, adjusting to taste.
Serve
- I pour the Celery Juice into a glass, add ice if desired, and enjoy immediately on an empty stomach for optimal benefits.
