Celery Apple Green Juice
Crisp celery and green apples blend into a light, naturally sweet green juice with a clean finish that needs no added sugar at all.
Celery brings a savory, slightly salty note to green juice that apples balance out with natural sweetness, so the two work well together as a simple base. A squeeze of lemon at the end keeps the color from turning brown too quickly once it is poured. This one skips heavier greens entirely, so the flavor stays light and easy to drink.
Ingredients
Method
Tap a number to mark a step doneCombine the celery, chopped apples, lemon juice, and water in a blender, packing the celery down toward the blades.
Add the grated ginger if using, for a little extra warmth and a slightly spicy background flavor note.
Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until smooth and no fibrous celery strings remain visible in the juice.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag set over a bowl, pressing firmly to extract the liquid.
Discard the leftover pulp and pour the strained juice into glasses that are ready for serving right away to guests.
Serve the juice immediately over ice, or refrigerate it in a sealed jar for up to a day.
Kitchen note
Choose the crisp inner celery stalks over the tougher outer ones; they blend more easily and leave less stringy pulp behind in the strainer.
