About the recipe
I am making celery juice with fresh stalks of celery bought from the store and it not only helps in losing weight but also has many other benefits to the juice. It has many health advantages and one should definitely try out the drink at least weekly twice or thrice.
It has many properties that can cure many ailments naturally and keep the skin and body fresh healthy and glowing.
The juice needs any juicer or blender to extract the juice and it does not require many ingredients to make this celery juice. It just needs one main ingredient and extracting the juice out of it is quick and simple with any extractor.
I have tried to make it using a blender and it turned out to be a success. The only key thing is to add a little water to the celery while making it.
How to cut celery?
Celery is a long stalk with a pale green colour and the pack comes with long tightly packed stalks. The long stalks can be separated individually to break down or cut into small pieces.
Always make sure to buy fresh tightly packed stalks of celery. Take a knife, separate the long stalks and break them into small pieces.
If one is able to chop off the whole bunch into pieces, it is fine. The stalks are slightly hard and need some force to chop. It is better to cut them slowly and steadily.
Once cut, place the celery pieces in water to remove any impurities attached to them. Once washed well, take them out and use them for any purpose. Here, I will be using the washed pieces to make the juice.
Celery juice benefits
Celery juice is highly helpful to fight many ailments of the body in a natural way.
It is high in anti-oxidants and helps in preventing dangerous diseases such as cancer, heart issues etc…
The juice is low in sugar and cholesterol levels. Dring this low-calorie juice in place of high-calorie unhealthy drinks can help keep the weight in check and not help it gain drastically.
It is high in fibre and helps in good digestion and also helps to clean the stomach or gut with its fibrous content and also helps in producing bile in the liver.
Celery help ease bloating issues and has the ability to reduce inflammations in the body.
It is loaded with Vitamin K and Vitamin C along with many minerals such as folate, potassium etc that contribute to better health.
The drink helps in keeping the fresh healthy, glowing and bright that can enhance the beauty. It also helps in reducing fatigue along with easing digestion issues.
These are just some of the benefits mentioned along with its weight loss benefits but there are many more benefits that can be referred from various sources and get aware of their powerful advantages.
Ingredients
Celery: I am using fresh celery stalks and one can also chop off the small leaves and add them to the juice while blending.
Water: Sometimes, the juice does not blend well and to give a start adding little water to help blend well without leaving chunks is necessary. I am adding little water but the juice can also be made without adding water.
How to make the celery juice?
Take the bunch of celery and unpack them. Take them out and separate the stalks into individual stalks.
Take a knife and chop them into small pieces to support better blending.
Add all the pieces to a mixing bowl with water, rinse them well and take them out.
Add the washed pieces to a blending jar.
Add little water.
Blend the juice for a minute or two without any chunks remaining.
Strain the juice and discard the pulp.
Pour the juice into a glass.
Serve.
Variations
The juice can taste slightly bitter as the celery tastes quite different and is sometimes hard to consume. It is better to add some honey to the drink and to aid in weight loss adding some ginger while blending or lemon juice while serving can help.
Also, adding any fruit such as apple that is red or green as well as adding a banana can make the drink even more healthy.
Side effects: It can cause allergies as some are prone to allergic reactions to celery. Therefore, it is highly advised to consult your physician or doctor before using celery.
When to drink?
For celery juice weight loss benefits or digestion, benefits try to consume it on an empty stomach or consume it before every meal. Always maintain a gap of 20 to 30 minutes between the juice and meal for better performance.
Celery uses
It is added to many other recipes other than making juices or smoothies. It is healthy to add to the soups we make or just stir fry and eat them as well as add to the toppings of any dish. Add it to salads that can boost health in a healthy way.

Faq’s
It is low in calories and high in fibre which eases digestion, cures cardiovascular problems, can work to reduce blood pressure as well as aids in weight loss.
Just drinking a glass of celery every day or cut it down to weekly thrice and continue often and expect good results in t least 30 days if using regularly.
Yes, adding honey and lemon or any other fruits while blending can make it tastier and help to consume quickly.
Storage
I always advise making any drinks, juices or smoothies as fresh as possible and consume them fresh and immediate.
However, it is sometimes required to store them and consume them when required. This juice should be stored airtight in the refrigerator and can last up to two or three days if stored tight.
It remains fresh in the freezer too but I do not suggest to store in the freezer section. It is better to make fresh and consume fresh or do not store for more than a day to enjoy its benefits.
