Can I make celery juice recipe in a regular blender?

I haven't tried making celery juice in a regular blender as opposed to a high-speed blender, but I'm sure it will work. If you want to try it, I would suggest chopping your celery into 1-inch pieces and adding at least 1/2 cup of water. Blend for at least a minute before straining the celery juice. See my list of the best juicer blenders .

What does celery juice taste like?

Not surprisingly, it tastes like celery. If you don't like the taste of celery, you most certainly will not like the taste of this drink. I am a fan of the flavor, but sometimes I'll juice a peeled lime (or lemon) and maybe an apple for added sweetness and brightness.

Can you add other fruits and veggies to celery juice?

Yes, I like to add a peeled lime and a chopped green apple. The other ingredients make the juice so much more palatable. But, according to the Medical Medium, you should only use celery. So, it depends on what your goals are.

Are there negative side effects to drinking celery juice?

Yes, celery juice can cause diarrhea in some people. If that occurs, try drinking a much smaller amount the next day and work up the amount you drink. Consult your medical practitioner if your diarrhea continues. Fresh celery juice may also cause some bloating until your body adjusts to the fiber that remains in the juice. The bloating should lessen or stop after your digestive tract adjusts.

Celery Juice Recipe (Juicer or Blender)

Ingredients

Units Scale

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

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep the celery for juicing by chopping off the base and tops of the stalks of both bunches.
Place the celery stalks into a colander in your sink. Wash the celery and pat it dry.
If using a juicer, run the celery and lime through the feeding tube of juicer.
If using a blender, add the celery stalk and lime to the pitcher. Add 1/2 cup of water to help get the blender started. Use your tamper to push the celery stalks into the blade. Pour the blended celery through the nut milk bag or strainer so remove the pulp from the juice. Serve immediately and discard the pulp.
Serve the juice immediately, or keep any leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days of juicing.

Notes

The Medical Medium says that you should not use anything else with the celery for optimal health, but I find using the juice of one lime makes the celery juice taste so much better.
Use organic celery if possible.
One bunch of celery makes about 16 ounces of juice.
