OMG! Celery ginger lemon juice is such a refreshing drink and I was blown away when my hubby made it for the first time in Vitamix. I had some idea that celery was a healthy vegetable but it was never on my shopping list a few years back.

But tasting celery juice changed all that. And my little research about the nutrients and health benefits of celery impressed me a lot. I use it in salads and soups for its full health benefits.

Celery juice is definitely a very refreshing summer juice and a healthy drink to remain hydrated in the heat. This green juice has become a signature drink whenever we have a grilled paneer tikka with friends.

Health benefits of celery ginger lemon juice

Celery is packed with Vitamins K, A, B, and C along with phytonutrients, flavonoids, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, and potassium. Ginger too has many of these nutrients along with zinc, niacin, riboflavin, etc. (Reference Healthline).

These nutrients are good anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories, assisting in chronic disease prevention and lowering blood pressure. All these health benefits make celery ginger lemon juice a perfect morning juice.

Ingredients

As the name suggests, to make celery ginger lemon juice, you will need a bunch of celery, ginger, and some lemon juice. It is best to use organic ingredients to ensure they are free of pesticides.

To make celery juice taste better, you can sweeten it. There are several options to replace normal cane sugar. Vegan choices are agave nectar, maple syrup, or a pinch of unbleached organic stevia (or a sweetener of your choice).

Blue agave has a slightly lower glycemic index as compared to sugar so it can be preferred over sugar intake (every little bit helps I guess).

For vegetarians, honey is another option. Honey has glucose and fructose but is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-oxidant, and is supposed to have several health benefits.

Instructions

To make celery juice in a Vitamix blender, chop the celery stalks into 3-4 inch pieces. Add an inch of ginger piece, some lemon juice, ice, and water. Start Vitamix on the "smoothie" setting or high speed until well blended.

For best results strain the celery ginger juice using a nut milk bag, fine mesh strainer, or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much juice as possible and discard the pulp. You can add a sweetener while serving and adjust the sweetness as per your liking.

Variations

Vegetables - add a green apple to make apple celery juice. You can also add carrots as they are high in Vitamin A. Some kale or spinach can also be added to incorporate leafy greens into your diet.

Serving suggestions

You can enjoy the celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach or any time of the day. You can serve it as a refreshment for your parties.

To serve it, take some ice in a tall glass and pour the celery juice over it. Add some mint leaves and optionally a pinch of Himalayan pink salt or Black salt to enhance the flavor.

You can add some fizz to the juice as well if you have a soda maker at hand. You can add some club soda as well.

Equipment

I have made this celery juice recipe in the Vitamix 6300 blender which has a pre-programmed smoothie setting. You can use any high-speed blender with a smoothie setting. You can also manually increase the speed from low to high and blend for about 45 seconds until the juice is well blended.

A juicer will also work well to make this juice.

Storage

Juices taste best when made fresh. Keeping celery juice open for longer than a few hours can oxidize its nutrients, diminishing its benefits, and may not taste fresh.

Keeping portions of cut celery stalks and ginger in ziplock bags or the blender and storing in the fridge can be handy. You can plan ahead and help save time whenever you want to have the juice.
