Imagination is the highest form of research. ~Albert Einstein
I first got curious about celery juice when I noticed organic celery flying off the shelves in California-everyone seemed to be juicing it! Naturally, I had to give it a try.
For a few weeks, I started my mornings with a glass of fresh celery juice and quickly grew to love its clean, refreshing flavor. These days, I don't drink it every morning, but I still enjoy it from time to time.
Here I'll show you how to make celery juice at home, with or without a juicer, along with a few simple tips for the best flavor. I also share my experience after drinking it for two straight weeks, below!
What you will need to make Celery Juice
- Celery: one bunch of celery, preferably organic, leaves and stalks.
- Optional additions: Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice or lime, or juice cucumber or other vegetables, like carrots or green apple, especially if new to celery juice or not in love with the flavor. Optimally, you want to get to the point where you can enjoy it straight, but there are no rules here.
How to Make Celery Juice in a Juicer (instructions)
- Use 1 bunch of organic celery, cutting off the base to separate the stalks. Wash them in clean water to remove any debris.
- Feed the celery through your juicer. Feel free to save the celery fiber to add to soups, baked goods, etc.
- Drink immediately!
How to make Celery Juice in a Blender (instructions)
- Use 1 bunch of organic celery and cut off the base to separate the stalks. Wash them in clean water to remove any debris.
- Chop the celery stalks into 1-inch pieces and place them in the blender.
- Add 1/4 cup of purified water and put the lid on the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Place a cheesecloth over a fine-mesh strainer, or use a clean nut milk bag over the mouth of a pitcher or bowl, and strain the celery puree. Squeeze the celery juice through the cloth.
- Drink immediately, or feel free to make enough for 2 days ( two bunches) and keep in sealed mason jar the fridge.
Is Celery Juice Healthy?
Celery juice can be a refreshing way to enjoy celery and provides naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds. Celery is also mostly water, making the juice naturally hydrating.
Celery contains antioxidants and plant compounds such as flavonoids, and research continues to explore their potential health effects. Some research on celery and celery preparations has shown promising results for certain cardiometabolic markers, but research specifically on celery juice is still limited.
One thing to keep in mind: juicing removes much of the fiber found in whole celery. I think of celery juice simply as another way to enjoy this vegetable-not as a cure-all.
Celery Juice Tips
- Make enough for two days and store the extra in the fridge, letting it come to room temperature before drinking. Less clean up this way!
- If celery juice tastes bitter or unappealing to you, feel free to add other veggies to the juicer, to dilute the flavor. Cucumber and apple are nice. Or a squeeze of lemon.
- If you are new to juicing or celery juice, start off conservatively with celery juice, try ¼-½ cup, and see how your tummy feels, refrigerating the rest.
My Experience with Celery Juice
When I first started making celery juice, I drank it regularly for a couple of weeks simply to see how I felt. I'm not a fan of extreme juice cleanses or quick fixes-I was just curious about incorporating it into my routine and paying attention to my own experience.
Personally, I enjoyed how I felt when drinking it. I noticed less bloating, my digestion seemed better, and I felt refreshed and hydrated. Most importantly, I genuinely loved the fresh, slightly salty flavor.
These days, I don't drink celery juice every morning, but I still make it occasionally because I enjoy it. Everyone responds to foods differently, so I think of this simply as my own experience rather than something everyone should expect.
Best bet: just try it. It may or may not be for you. Read the comments below and see if anything resonates. People have experienced benefits from drinking this, but we are all different.
How to Store Celery Juice
Fresh is best! For the freshest flavor, enjoy celery juice soon after making it.
Store leftover juice in a tightly sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Fill the jar as close to the top as possible to minimize air exposure, and give it a good shake before drinking-it's normal for the juice to separate. It tastes best when it’s freshest.
I hope you love celery juice as much as I have! If Celery Juice is calling you, just try it! See how you feel. If your body feels good after drinking it, then perhaps it will benefit you. If you feel any discomfort or no effect, perhaps it is not for you!
You’ll never know unless you try it and experience it for yourself. If it doesn’t interest you, it may not be right for you, or you just don’t need it. We intuitively know what we need to feel our best! xoxo Sylvia

If you can’t get organic celery- make sure to wash non-organic celery stocks really well.

Drink it fresh first thing in the morning and wait 30 minutes before drinking anything else.

can we add some lemon juice , mint, concombre , spinach and lettuce? A green juice if i may say, will we get the same benefits?
You can, but according to some it is believed best to drink it all by itself to get the full benefits. Up to you.
First of all you are so kind to answer all of these people’s whiny questions and complaints over something as simple as celery juice. I rolled my eyes several times looking at the comments. Second of all, this juice is heaven sent. The taste isn’t at all repugnant. I noticed immediate change in my digestion. Keep doing you.
Thanks so much.
I taking thyroid medication on the morning it ok after I drink
Tnx honey for the tips
Hi,it’s on 3rd day.is it ok if we only get 1 full of Mason jar per 1 stalk of celery? Would that be enough?
How big is the mason jar?
Sylvia, I drank celery juice 4 times last week. The last time, 1/2 cup on Friday and I am still experiencing cramps. Is this due to detox, should I push thru and have some more tomorrow in hopes that the juice will help kill off whatever I activated? Or should I stop and start over in a week or so? I am over 50 years old and imagine I have a very bad gut! Thank you.
Hey Tracey, I would consult your doctor or health provider as I have no idea, I’m not a doctor. I’d say, if it doesn’t feel good, don’t drink it. Listen to your body.
How many celery stocks equal a bunch..
8-9 stalks or ribs.
I used to juice Celery but now I use my Vitamix and blend it with coconut water and it tastes amazing, especially as I totally dislike celery
Hi do u get the same benefits by using the vitamix vice juicing?
I think so?? I don’t see why not.
I am on day 4 and have MORE gas and bloating. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions? So disappointed. I do have IBS
OOOOh…. sorry that doesn’t sound good. Not sure how IBS affects this. That is not typical. Are you drinking first thing in the morning on an empty stomach?
Maybe, try starting with less and work up to it? This is what I’m doing. I began with 3 oz. this morning.
Sorry but I drink it and celery juice does not taste good , that definitely a low.It is disgusting but I still drink it because I feel amazing after drinking it.It definitely also helps with digestion and bloating.
Really? I think it tastes amazing!!!
Try blending it with coconut water then squeezing it through a nit milk bag it tastes ever so much better that way
Loved this explanation on celery juice! This was the first thing that popped up when I searched benefits of celery juice. Thank so much. Will start tomorrow!
This is the best explanation on how great celery juice is for you in a short version
Yay- happy you liked it
Does it mean the leaves are not healthy, because it is hard to get the stalk in the market. Mostly get the leaves.
I Like the leaves and think they are fine.
I love this site!! My question is that I now have three different drinks; celery juice, Switchel and testosterone booster that all say to drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I really want to drink them all but you see the dilemma. Got any suggestions?
Celery Juice must be on an empty stomach to see the benefits. So definitely that first. Switchel as an afternoon energizer. Not sure about Testosterone booster?
Good healthy juice
Greatest day all! This juice was VERY YUMMY and SUPER EASY to prepare! I utilized a blender, which I loved since it was an easy cleanup! Thank you for this post.
Thanks Skylar!
Is it okay to drink this everyday?
As far as I know, yes, but please do your own research and listen to your own body.
Straining it wastes part of the celery. Drink it ALL once blended with some water. Cut any brownish stem parts off.
I agree!
If I juice 1 bunch of celery it doesn’t usually equal 16oz. So does that mean I won’t get the same effects? Juicing more could get quite expensive.
How many ounces do you usually get?
It’s worth it.
I tried it to and I’m having the same outcome of you! Are you still dunking it? If yes, how are you feeling now?
Add with bottled water to ninja blender . Cut celery in small pieces and pulsify it real good
Can you juice the leaves as well?
Yes!
I find the leaves give it a bitter taste, I cut them off.
Thank you for all the info and the recipes. Is it okay to blend the celery and drink without straining?
It is not recommended.
Why isn’t it recommended to drink the juice and the pulp?
To get the real gut-healing benefits, you need 16 ounces of the juice. Including the fiber of that much celery ( a whole head) would make pretty hard to consume first thing in the morning. The key is drinking first thing in the morning before anything else.
Try it …All of the celery is healthy after it’s washed. I start small with one or 2 stalks and pulsify it in a Ninja blender to a real fine consistency.
Amazing.I add ginger and pineapple.
It’s made me a believer and I hate celery but after reading all benefits I can’t deny it anymore. It’s darn good for me.
My cardiologist recommended that I drink celery juice after I run. Thank you for the recipe and benefits.
How do I contact this person to send her a message,
Great
Excellent !
Hi! Why not eat the pulp too? Just juice and pulp? Stores dont even carry 30 ribs of celery if you drank 16 oz a day.
What about celery powder?
I save the celery mush and freeze it. Put it in soup, stews etc. It is great. I have been drinking celery juice for 3 months every day. I had H Pylori and started drinking celery juice and taking Mastic Gum tablets. H Pylori is gone. I did take antibiotics too, but not as many as I was prescribed, they make me so sick.
