Fresh Celery Detox Juice

Description

Fresh Celery Detox Juice is a revitalizing, nutrient-rich drink made from fresh celery stalks. Known for its natural detoxifying properties, this juice supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and hydrates the body. It’s perfect for starting your day or as a refreshing mid-day pick-me-up. The crisp, clean flavor of celery is complemented with optional touches like lemon or ginger for extra zing.

Ingredients

  • 6–8 large celery stalks (organic preferred)

  • ½ lemon (optional, for flavor and vitamin C boost)

  • 1 small cucumber (optional, for hydration)

  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (optional, for anti-inflammatory benefits)

  • ½ cup filtered water (optional, to adjust consistency)

  • Instructions

  1. Wash thoroughly: Rinse celery stalks, cucumber, and ginger under cold water to remove any dirt.

  2. Prepare ingredients: Chop celery, cucumber, and ginger into pieces that fit your juicer. Peel lemon if using.
