This vibrant green juice is packed with electrolytes and a touch of citrus for a crisp, refreshing finish.
Ingredients
- Celery: 1 large bunch of fresh celery stalks (including leaves).
- Lemon: 1/2 a large lemon, peeled.
- Green Apple: 1 medium apple (Granny Smith works best for a tart flavor).
- Ginger: 1-inch knob of fresh ginger (optional, for a spicy kick).
- Herbs: 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or cilantro.
- Garnish: A sprinkle of flax seeds or chia seeds (as seen in the small bowl in the image).
Instructions
- Preparation: Wash all the produce thoroughly under cold water.
- Chop: Cut the celery stalks into 3-inch pieces to fit your juicer or blender easily. Slice the apple and remove the core.
- Extraction:
- If using a juicer: Feed the celery, lemon, apple, ginger, and herbs through the juicer.
- If using a blender: Add all ingredients with 1/2 cup of cold water. Blend on high until completely smooth, then strain through a nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher.
- Serve: Pour into a glass over ice or serve chilled.
- Finish: Top with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a light sprinkle of seeds for texture.
A Quick Note on Health Claims
While celery is an excellent source of hydration, antioxidants, and vitamins (like Vitamin K and C), it’s important to note as a helpful peer that the idea of a single plant “cleansing” or “detoxing” specific organs with “just one hit” is a popular wellness myth. Your liver and kidneys handle detoxification naturally 24/7. However, adding a nutrient-dense green juice like this to your routine is a fantastic way to support your overall health and hydration!
