• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Wash the celery thoroughly to remove any dirt.
2. Cut the celery into 2-inch pieces.
3. Add the celery to a blender with the water (if needed).
4. Blend until completely smooth.
5. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher, pressing to extract as much juice as possible.
6. Stir in fresh lemon juice if desired.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• If you prefer, you can skip straining and enjoy the juice with the fiber.

Note

The image claims celery juice “cleanses” the blood, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. There is no strong scientific evidence that celery juice detoxifies these organs. Your liver and kidneys naturally remove waste from the body. Celery juice can still be a refreshing drink that provides hydration, vitamin K, and antioxidants as part of a balanced diet.
