Can I make this green juice lower in sugar?

Yes, just leave out the apple and use only the cucumber, celery, lime or lemon, and ginger. Or, use a green apple instead of a red apple because they are lower in natural sugars.

Can I make celery green juice in a blender?

Yes! To make this juice in a blender, cut the celery, cucumber, and apple into 1-inch chunks. Add the vegetable and fruit pieces to your blender along with the ginger and lime. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of water. Blend on high, using the tamper to push the produce into the blade. Blend until smooth. Then, strain the juice through a nut milk bag and serve the juice immediately. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.

Instructions

The first step whenever you are making Cucumber Celery Juice is to prep your fruits and veggies. I like to use a small colander to wash everything.
Then, I pat them dry and cut the ingredients into pieces that will fit into my juicer’s feeding tube. If you’re going to use a blender, you’ll also need to cut your produce into small chunks (about 1-inch or smaller).
The next step to make homemade green juice is to put all the ingredients through the juicer. You might get a little foam on top of your juice, but that’s okay. If you’re using a blender, just add the ingredients to the blender with about 1 cup of water.
If you’re using a blender, you’ll need to strain the juice from the fiber after you’ve blended it.
Fresh green juice is best served immediately after making it, although you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to several days. Be sure to cover the top of the drink if you do put it in the fridge. This will help keep it fresh.

Notes

Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed glass jar in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days.
To make this juice lower in natural sugars, just leave out the apple.
