What is Celery?

Before we jump into the day’s blog – celery juice recipe, let’s take a moment to learn about the celery vegetable. Celery is a low-calorie, fibrous vegetable from the Apiaceae family, including carrots, parsley, and dill. It is characterized by its long, crisp stalks that are usually green, although some varieties can be white or red. Celery has a distinct crunchy texture and a mild, slightly peppery flavor, making it a popular ingredient in salads, soups, and as a snack.

What is celery juice?

Celery juice is a healthy, nutritious juice made by extracting the liquid from fresh celery stalks. It’s often lauded for its health benefits, including high levels of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and folate. Many people consume celery juice for its potential anti-inflammatory properties and as a way to support hydration and digestion. It can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other fruits and vegetables for added flavor and nutrients. Celery juice has gained popularity recently, particularly among those pursuing wellness and detoxification regimens.

My History with Celery Juice Cleanse.

In 2018 my health took a drastic turn after a visit to my doctor. Eventually, a biopsy let me off the hook, but that scary situation reminded me of the need to start caring more about my health. My doctor was also very concerned about my liver, and so I started researching. Celery showed up numerous times in my research, and ultimately celery juice cleanse turned out to be what I needed to incorporate into my diet ASAP. I did my first celery juice detox and cleanse, and totally loved it. Since then, celery became part of my life and part of my family’s life.

I heard many things about juicing in general and how celery juice doesn’t quite taste good. After all my research, I developed a way of making celery juice work for me, and luckily, it tastes perfect all the time! The most important thing is to listen to your body and adjust the recipe if possible. Celery juice cleanse is a natural detox that can help you maintain your digestive health, blood pressure, blood sugar, flush out fats in the liver, improve bone health, and help maintain your overall health.

Ingredients for the Best Celery Juice Recipe:

The ingredients for making this celery juice include celery (well, of course), parsley, spinach, lemon, ginger, and apple. Ginger and lemon add great flavor to this green juice recipe, and like I mentioned earlier, I have found these very six ingredients to work for me really well. Aside from the potency of celery, the other ingredients are equally healthy-improving healing foods as well.

• Apple has proven to improve neurological health. This means that apple can significantly help with memory improvement.
• On the other hand, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce osteoarthritis’s soreness and pain. Also, ginger is heart-healthy. Ginger is excellent with the control of cholesterol.
• Parsley supports bone, eye, and heart health. It is also rich in antioxidants and cancer-fighting.
• Finally, spinach is excellent for moderating high blood pressures, prevent heart disease, improve eye health, slow the rate of certain cancers, and fight oxidative stress. We cannot forgot the immune-boosting power of the almighty lemon.

Benefits of celery (Celery Juice Cleanse)

• Digestive system: celery supports the digestive system and tract, including the stomach and everything in between. If you desire a healthy digestive system, make celery intake regular, and the easiest way remains to juice it up either with the juicer or the blender.
• Heart-healthy: Celery can help maintain high blood pressure, which otherwise reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. This plant can improve your overall heart health without question.
• Celery can prevent liver disease because it is a powerful cleansing food. This means that the consumption of celery can cleanse your body from toxins and contaminants.
• Blood Sugar: celery is a low glycemic food with tons of minerals and vitamins, which can help you maintain your blood sugar!

How to make Homemade Celery Juice Recipe using a Juicer & Blender.

Overall, making celery juice is very simple. During my 5-day juice cleanse, I make my juice with the juicer; this means that the juice is concentrated and not diluted with water, unlike when I make it with the blender.

Prep Your Vegetables

First, to make celery juice with a juicer, you will need a juicer. Second, you will have to wash the vegetables very well (even if it says “organic”). Finally, cut the celery stalks and other vegetables accordingly. Uniquely, juicers differ, and the type of juicer you are using will determine how big or small you cut the vegetables.

Juice Your Vegetables

I currently have this masticating juicer. The juicer that I am using here requires I cut all my vegetables small, and that’s ok. This means that I need a little bit of time and patient. Please do not be discouraged if you do not have a juicer; you can use a blender if you intend to do a celery juice cleanse. 🙂

Make Celery Juice with a Blender.

It is super easy to make celery juice in the blender; I have used this method 100 times over. Like making celery juice with a juicer; wash all the vegetables, cut them, blend and sieve. You can this watch a video of how I make celery juice using a blender. I always use this Oster blender, but of course any other blender works.

CELERY JUICE Recipe FAQs

Is celery a vegetable or herb?

Celery is said to be a Mediterranean herb, though we see it as a vegetable. I see celery as both an herb and a vegetable. How about you?

Is celery juice good for detox?

Yes, the celery plant is a naturally detoxifying food. This is because celery detoxes your liver and heals your gut. And the best part is that you do not have to wait until you are sick or scared (like I was) to start using it. Start using celery today, and your future self will thank you. If you do like juicing, then add them to soups and salads. However, the best way to get the right amount of celery in your system is via juice. I wouldn’t say it impossible to chew down lots of celery, but it hard for anyone to finish a whole stalk of celery. I know, I can only eat one or two ribs on any good day!

What does a Celery Juice Cleanse do?

• Clean fat build-up in the liver (liver detoxification)
• Flush toxins.

What Should I eat After the Celery Juice Cleanse?

Start with fruits and vegetables, and gradually get back to eating healthy natural food. Clean eating should be your best friend. This berry spinach salad, shredded beet salad, and 4-ingredient spring mix salad would be a great way to start. Avoid eating fast food as much as you can. It would be very ironic to complete a 5-day celery juice cleanse and then head over to McDonald’s for a Mac burger and fries.

My 5-Day Juice Cleanse (Detox and cleanse tips)

I am currently doing a 5-day juice cleanse, and this celery recipe that I share with you today is what I am using for days 1 and 2. If I want, I can do just the celery juice cleanse for the entire 5 days, but I want variety, and I love to use different vegetables.

The way that my 5-day detox and cleanse juicing works is that one full bottle of juice (500 ml) will replace my breakfast each day for the next first days.

How Long can Celery Juice Last?

Experts have said that for best results, you should make your celery juice fresh every morning. But if you are pressed for time, and you have one day in a week to make your juices, then that’s ok. However, do not leave your celery juice for more than 48 hours (2 days). Personally, I won’t. For proper storage of celery juice; I like to store my celery juice in Epica glass bottles. I prefer these bottles to jars for refrigerating leftover.

The difference between this juice cleanse recipe and incorporating juicing in my diet, which I do from time to time, is that juice will replace my breakfast for the duration of detox & cleanse, and in this case it is five days. Also, I will stay away from processed foods, including snacks, sodas, and fast foods.

Whereas when I incorporate juicing in my diet, I casually juice every 2 – 3 times weekly, and it can be a snack, and I can have it any other time of the day. On the other hand, I love doing juice detox and cleanse at the start of a new year, before summer, or around my birthday. Are you planning on juicing any time soon? Start here.
