Refreshing Celery Green Juice
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Servings: 1-2
- Net Carbs: ~2g per serving
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh celery, washed and roughly chopped
- 1/2 medium cucumber, sliced (for extra hydration)
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for an extra herbal kick)
- 1 to 1.5 cups cold filtered water
- Ice cubes (for serving)
Instructions
Method 1: Using a Blender (No Juicer Needed)
- Blend: Add the chopped celery, cucumber slices, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and filtered water into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth.
- Strain: Place a nut milk bag, fine-mesh strainer, or cheesecloth over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through to separate the smooth juice from the fibrous pulp.
- Press: Squeeze the bag or press the pulp with a spoon to extract every last drop of juice.
- Serve: Pour over ice and enjoy immediately!
Method 2: Using a Juicer
- Juice: Simply feed the celery stalks, cucumber, and herbs through your juicer.
- Finish: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, pour over ice, and serve.
