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!
You can also check out my post on the best juicers for celery, where I break down the pros and cons of each!
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.
Do you know if it helps lupus and/or rheumatoid arthritis?
Hi Arianna,
I have heard it does, but I can’t say from experience. That would be a great google search. :)
Hi,
First of all, thank you for sharing such a nice post on Detox Celery Juice Recipe. I have a question. what is the best time to drink this juice in the morning or before sleep?
Regards,
Mark person
Hi Mark,
We always drink it first thing in the morning. :)
Thank you for explaining the use of celery juice, several people have told me about it, so I guess I will try it too!
I also have read this book, and lilke drinking the celery juice, however i love a variety of food and find it hard to follow a strict protocol. Most days i will drink the juice and need more protein to get me through my start of the day. Which makes me wonder! 😊
can I use a food processor?
Hi Cyndi,
I have not tried that. However, if you have a large high-power processor, it should work. :)
What do you do with celery pulp afterwards?
Hi Teresa,
You can discard it, save it in the freezer for vegetable stock, or add it to a compost pile.
Hello, I’ve been drinking celery juice for two weeks now and for the past two days I’ve noticed it’s causing me headaches. Should I stop juicing or will it resolve?
Hi Mary,
I am not a medical professional and was only sharing our personal experience, so I can’t say for sure. However, generally speaking, when your body is detoxing headaches are typical. All our unsavory symptoms left in the first few weeks. Hope this helps!
Started doing this diet last week to help my hyperthyroidism, and I have noticed I feel better. Question, can I make a big batch of juice and store it in the fridge? Or does it need to be fresh every day? Either way, I’ll continue doing it!
Hi Cassie,
That’s amazing! Supposedly it loses its potency over time. However, there are weeks when I know I am going to be extremely busy, so I will make a batch of celery juice to last 2-3 days. Hope this helps!
Great recipe, will try tomorrow. Thank you
I had sudden problems with marked indigestion so not sure if it was stomach or liver so started drinking celery juice before I went to bed at 11:00pm (4 hours after meal). I noticed improvement in symptoms after a couple of days so am continuing this regime. Also…I only have a blender so not necessary to have high speed juicer,etc. as I do smoothies & everything else in regular blender. Also the celery leaves (according to info on the web) are more potent than stalks so I liquify them seperately in another container and drink it as well. It is stronger than stalks but palatable.
Thanks for sharing your story and recipe.
Could you tell me what type of menus you followed for bkfst, lunch and dinners?

Hi Leticia,
Ava primarily eats a paleo diet with lots of protein, fruit and veggies. You can check out all of our paleo recipes here: https://www.aspicyperspective.com/category/healthy-2/paleo-whole-30/
Hiya, I love how you write down not only the step by step process of how to make the juice but also the benefits in great detail and explained them. I really appreciate that you spent time trying this out, researching the evidence of why this is good for you and then shared it for everyone so we can get all the information we need and how to do it it one post. I definitely want to start this but I’m wondering if I have to drink this every single day or if I can only drink it a couple times a week. If I were to drink it a few times a week would It take longer to see the benefits then it would if I was drinking it every day? Also, in order to drink this everyday how much money would a weeks worth of celery for juicing cost? Thank you for this Blog and have a great day.
Hi Isabella!
I do know people that only drink it 2-3 times a week and still see results. But they also eat REALLY clean diets. We drink it every day, partly for my daughter’s continuing health, and partly because I’m recipe testing several days a week, so we don’t always stick to a strict diet.
As for the cost you can find deals on celery, depending on where you shop. For instance, ALDI sells conventional celery for $1 a bunch and organic for $2 a bunch. Trader Joe’s has organic for just over $2 a bunch. However, some stores sell their organic celery for around $4 a bunch! It takes about one full bunch of celery to make one glass. So if you shop smart you could drink it every day for between $7-14 a week, depending on if you choose to buy organic.
Hope this helps! :)
