Can I make this 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?

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.

Can you make this ahead of time?

Yes, but I would try to consume it within 48 hours of making it for optimal nutrition. Store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

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

Scale

2 bunches of celery
1 lime, skin removed (optional, for better taste)*

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.
Run the celery and lime through the feeding tube of juicer (see blender instructions below).
Serve the juice immediately, or keep any leftovers in an air-tight jar in the fridge. 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.
BLENDER INSTRUCTIONS: To make celery juice using a blender, you’ll need a nut milk bag or some kind of very fine mesh strainer to strain out the pulp. To make the juice in a blender, add the celery stalks in batches to your high-speed blender. Add 1/2 cup of water to help get the blender started. Use your tamper to push the celery stalks into the blade. Keep adding the celery until you’ve blended it all. Then, pour the blended celery through the nut milk bag or strainer so remove the pulp from the juice. Serve immediately and discard the pulp.
One bunch of celery makes about 16 ounces of juice.
