It is perfect for mornings, warm afternoons, or those times when you want something crisp and homemade instead of another heavy drink. It is bright, refreshing, and uses ingredients that are easy to find.
Ingredients
6 celery stalks, chopped
1 small cucumber, chopped
juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes
1 1/2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon honey, optional
ice cubes, optional
How to Make Celery Green Juice
Wash the celery, cucumber, and parsley very well.
Chop the celery and cucumber into smaller pieces so they blend more easily.
Blend everything
Add the celery, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, and cold water to a blender.
Blend until smooth and frothy.
At this point it already looks very healthy, which somehow always helps.
Strain if desired
If you want a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
If you like a little texture, keep it as it is.
Taste and add honey if you want a slightly softer flavor.
Pour into a glass over ice if desired and serve cold.
Helpful Tips
Use cold water so the juice is refreshing right away.
If celery tastes too strong for you, add a little more cucumber.
A green apple can be added for a sweeter version.
This drink is best enjoyed fresh.
