What is Celery Juice?

One of the most popular ways to get your daily vitamins and minerals is by juicing. Juicing is the squeezing or pressing of fresh fruits and vegetables, and it’s no surprise that juice comes from the fresh leaves.

The simplest way to make this is to use a juicer. First, cut off the tops and base of several stalks. Then, carefully wash the ribs and place them in the juicer. You can also add fresh peeled lime or apples to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately or drink within 24 hours. If you don’t have a juicer, you can make this in a blender. Chop into small pieces and blend until smooth. Add a bit of water, and strain through cheesecloth. Enjoy within 24 hours.
