Celery Juice But Tastier
Ingredients:
3- 5 stalks celery
1/2 small apple
Ginger (to taste - start with a thumbnail)
1/2 Lemon
1-2 cups of water (if using a blender)
Supplies:
Juicer or High powered blender
Nut milk bag or super fine mesh strainer
When new trends in nutrition and wellness emerge, we try to keep an open mind and tread curiously. So when celery juice became all the rage, we dove in to do some research before trying it for ourselves.
The findings? Mixed.
All that considered, we’re always looking for more ways to add more fruit and veg into our plant-centric diet. So if hoping on this bandwagon means adding an additional serving of nutrients to my day, I’m all for it.
Here’s my take on celery juice. Its perfect if you’ve tried celery juice before but can’t stand the taste. Apple adds the right amount of sweetness while ginger adds a bit of zing.
I make mine in my Vitamix blender but you can also run everything through a juicer and skip steps 5 & 6.
Step-by-step
Wash and chop the celery into 1 inch pieces. Then add to your high speed blender. (I’m using this Vitamix)
Wash your apply and cut in half. Set one half aside for a snack later and cut the other half into smaller pieces before adding to the blender.
Cut and peel ginger
Cut lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the blender.
*Bonus - rub the remaining lemon onto the apple if you’re not going to eat it right away to help slow the oxidation and stop it from browning.
Add 1 cup of water (more if needed) and blend on high until the contents combine.
Run your juice through a strainer, cheese cloth or nut milk bag.
drink immediately or chill in the fridge (should only be stored for no more than 12 hours)
