This refreshing and hydrating Celery Juice Recipe is made in the blender and packed with nutrients and antioxidants.
Sommer’s Recipe Notes
Detox Celery Juice is a hot topic in the natural health arena. Usually, I’m skeptical when it comes to anything touted as a miracle cure-all. However, as a mom of a daughter who had been sick for two solid years, I was willing to try anything to make her better. So after dozens of doctors’ appointments, expensive tests and scans, and more specialists with no answers, we moved onto natural healing to look for a cure.
That’s when we discovered Celery Juice.
Obviously, I’m not a doctor and you should definitely consult a healthcare professional with specific concerns. From my research, there are so many long-term health benefits of homemade celery juice. It can help to reduce inflammation, it helps with gut health from digestion to bloating, it protects your liver from toxins, it aids with heart disease and it helps to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Why You’ll Love Celery Juice
- Refreshing – Celery is loaded with water on its own, so this drink is not only refreshing but it’s incredibly hydrating.
- Simple – All you need to make this celery juice is a blender!
- Great morning ritual – Start your day off with a glass of this nutrient-packed celery juice.
There you have it! Simply blend, strain and enjoy and you can enjoy all the health benefits of celery juice.
Ingredients and Tips
- Celery stalks – Chose fresh, crunchy celery stalks for the best outcome.
Recipe Variations and Dietary Swaps
- Lemon – Add in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a citrus note.
- Ginger – Use a chunk of fresh ginger for an extra kick.
- Cayenne pepper – Sprinkle in a slight dash of cayenne pepper for spiciness.
- Apple – Blend half of an apple to give the celery juice some sweetness.

What is the Best Juicer for Celery?
This is the juicer I have. It’s great for cold press juicing. But a friend of mine uses this less expensive one and loves it as well! (Here’s another great easy-clean juicer option.)
There are also inexpensive hand-powered models if you are on a tight budget. I bought this one for travel, and it works very well!

Storage Notes
- Storing Leftovers – I definitely recommend drinking celery juice right away, but you can also store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Make sure to shake before serving!
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve this juice over ice first thing in the morning to get all the juices flowing.
Pair it with my Slow Cooker Overnight Oatmeal recipe or my Healthy Granola for a complete and nutritious breakfast!

Instructions
- Separate and wash the celery stalks. Shake off any extra water.
- Cut the leaves off the top of the stalks. (Most of the bitterness comes from the leaves.)
- Roughly chop the celery into pieces. (If you have a Vitamix or BlendTech, you can probably cut the celery into 3-4 inch segments. Yet if you are unsure how powerful your blender is, chop it smaller.)
- Place the chopped celery in the blender. Make sure the lid is on tight. Puree on high until the celery is smooth mush.
- Place the mesh strainer over the glass. Pour the celery pulp into the strainer and wait for the juice to separate down below.
- When it starts to slow, press the celery pulp with your hand (or a spoon) to squeeze out all the juice. Discard the pulp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Like celery! However, it can vary in flavor from bunch to bunch. Some glasses of celery juice are saltier than others. Some have a mild sweetness.
However, the bitterness we sometimes associate with celery is mostly concentrated in the leaves, so cut them off before juicing.
No. Organic is always best, but it’s also usually more expensive.
Celery Juice made from conventional celery is better than no celery juice at all. Just wash the stalks well before juicing.
This blog post gives me SOOOOO much hope. THANK YOU for the informative read!!! CHUGGING my first glass now. Hope I am not up all night on the pooper… :P
Thanks so much for the blender friendly recipe! Can’t wait to try! BUT, I would absolutely love to know where you got your sieve!
Hi Rachel,
I think that one came from Target. :) However, you can find them on Amazon, and online kitchen stores as well.
Can I drink coffee after I wait 30 minutes of drinking the celery juice.
Hi Mary,
Sure! The Medical Medium does have opinions about coffee, but we’ve been drinking it and have still seen major results.

Wonderful information you have shared with us. Thanks for the posting about Juice Recipe.
Thanks for the posting about juice recipe.
How long does this have to be done for? Always? Or is there a rest period?
Hi Diane,
We have now been doing it for over 6 months and plan to drink it forever. :)
However, I think if you are trying to heal yourself from some illness, you could reduce how many times you drink it each week, once you feel healthy again.
Great post and clear instructions on how to make it with a blender. I prefer to use a juicer because its a little more efficient. If anyone is interests in other juicer recommendations, you can check out our post over at https://www.livesimplynatural.com/best-juicer-for-celery/ But the juicers recommended on this post is are top of the line pick as well. Thanks for the informative post!
Thank You! If I happen to make more than the 16oz – can I put in a sealed container (mason jar?) and put in fridge or will the benefits fade before the following morning??
Hi Susanne,
I sometimes make it the night before, if we have a really early start the next day. It is supposed to be BEST to drink it immediately, but lots of people make it in batches for 2-3 days.
why not eat the whole blended celery? Why only the juice????
Hi Gabby,
It would be really difficult to swallow a large glass of celery mush. If you read the post above, I explain all the medicinal qualities are in the juice itself, not in the fiber.
I am 100% signing up for this! Lord knows I have a lot of these things!
I’m so happy you credited the Medical Medium
Love this!!! I squeeze my celery juice through a dish cloth! Just place it over the fine mesh sieve, then once the most of the water has gone through, wrap it up and give it a squeeze!
