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

Colld pressed celery juice has cleared up my sons very painful cystic acne . Even my son agrees it is amazing. He just has shots through out the day when ever he goes to the fridge, as i juice enough for 2-3 days. I wish other teens would try this out before going to Dr’s. During the holidays he had a week where he diddn’t have any and his skin reacted by breaking out. So we are back home and juicing again.
Interest Elly and good to hear the celery juice helped!
Hey I love the info you provided. It’s the best thing I have tried I feel so so good, since I started eating a bunch of blended celery every morning. I do not seperate juice cuz I like to eat pulp and its goodness, and I like organic over non-organic.
Great to hear Sunil!
DP we have celery juice every day !
Awesome Rose!
Thank you very much for this
Information about celery juicing I tried it and gave it to my wife we love it thanks
thanks so much!
celery juice is high in oxalates, drinking 16 ounces every day can not only increase the likelihood of kidney stones, it can also lead to the formation of oxalate crystals in different parts of your body, including organs.
Hi Ineke, thanks for sharing this. Do you have any research articles to support this- I’m not doubting you, just want to include it the post, so people can read and research for themselves Thanks for your help with this.
this is very helpfull site-thanks
Hey,
Celery juice is best thing ever. Instead loading yourself with supplements, get it all in one shot in the morning. Helps with constipation, clears the skin, you feel lighter, happier, balances the stomach acid. Just love it and it will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I cannot live without it. It is difficult when travelling.
I feel no pain anywhere. Being 50 I feel like 30 years old. My brain is fresh, I do not have cravings, brain fog, tiredness. So happy.
Love this Camilla- great to hear!
Hi, I just found your site and am enjoying it so much, thank you for all your work!
I’m using my Vitamix to blend the celery – do we have to run it through a nut bag/strainer? What’s the benefit of drinking it after straining vs drinking it unstrained?
Thanks for your help!
Drinking it strained just allows you to drink more of the juice- feel free to include the fiber and not strain if you like.
I love celery juice… It helps me overcome my acne problem and clears my skin now. And also helps comfort my stomach…
Glad this works for you Ally!
Yes! I’ve been drinking celery juice in the mornings, especially in the summer. I find it’s a potent cooling tonic for the day (I’m out in the heat most of the time). It’s also at the peak of it’s freshness and vitality at that time, so there’s that bonus : )
I also have been adding Ormus to the juice and feeling excellent results.
Thanks for the article!
Woops, I tried to post a link to the Ormus, because some folks don’t know what it is. I don’t think the link worked:
Have a great day, everyone!
Thanks Josh! Glad this works for you!
Very informative. I am definitely going to drink it every morning. Thank you
Nice post and it is very informative. Benefits of celery juice and its recipe are amazing. Especially it is very effective in lowering your blood pressure.
Nice post on benefits of celery juice and its recipe.
Hi can you please tell me if celery juice also help with tinnitus??
Hope to hear from you soon.
I personally have not heard that it helps with Tinnitus, but I don’t know. You can always research!
Thank you Sylvia. I don’t have a juicer and never thought to use the blender and put it through a muslin bag… worked a treat! And my body felt cleansed.
Awesome Leanda- Glad this worked for you!
It’s not for everyone Pat.;) But if you read the comments you’ll see it does seem to help quite a few people. Also, I don’t believe that in order for something to be “true” or “real” it has to be proven by science. Take love for instance…
Thank you so much for sharing , very informative love love reading through
Thanks so much Kelera!
Been using a approx week got results of relaxation, less stiffness. Less bloating. I’m excited for continued results
Great to hear!
My digestion improved and my haemorroids have ceased to be severe.
The breakout on my face has visibly reduced and am now dealing with healing scars only.
Thankyou.
Thanks glad it is helping.
Hi Sylvia, I just had my first glass of celery juice and to be honest it tasted terrible, I was wondering if there was a healthy drink that does help with weight loss and joint inflammation that i can use with my juicer. Thanks, Kathryn.
It’s not for everyone. I like juicing turmeric root with ginger,carrot, and orange for inflammation.
Nice post
The information seen on this site will be important to use in a new article I’m publishing. Congratulations to the authors of the page.
Thanks!
I’ve been drinking celery juice for a couple of months. Many benefits including everything you mentioned. I like to add freshly juiced lemons then it’s really really yummy 😁
Glad you are enjoying this Jane!
Can it be bought in a jar ?
That is a great question, and I haven’t seen it. I do know upscale grocery stores often have fresh celery juice refrigerated, and I have seen some at Trader Joes if you have one near you?
Appreciate the time you took to actually source references to support your article, kudos on that 🙂
There seems to be a bit
Thanks Elliot!
I’ve been dealing with acid reflux issues for years. I’ve been drinking celery juice for a couple weeks (not even every day) and it has made my acid reflux go away! I couldn’t believe it and wondered if that is what did it. So I went online and researched and it did say it can help with that. So I have traded my morning mochas for celery juice!
That is awesome Alicia! Great to hear!
