How to make it

Preparing Celery for Juicing

1 Wash your celery well before using. 

Dirt can become imbedded in the stalks and leaves. Soaking it for a few minutes in cold water and then scrubbing under running water should work well.

2 Choose crisp, fresh celery. 

It will have the highest concentration of vitamins and chlorophyll.

3 Don’t peel celery. 

Also, keep the leaves intact. The leaves are an important source of Vitamin A.

4 Store celery in a sealed container.

 If you don’t have a plastic bag from the supermarket, wrap it in your own produce bag.

5 Purchase a juicer if you plan to start making homemade juice a large part of your diet.

 If you don’t have a juicer, use a blender.

Now 

Making Celery Carrot Juice

1 Scrub the surface of three carrots and two celery stalks with the leaves attached.

 If you want a sweeter juice, add one-half to one apple. The natural sweetness of the carrots compliments the earthiness of the celery; however, it will taste more like fruit juice with apple included.

2 Chop up the veggies into smaller pieces if you are using a blender.

3 Add the vegetables to your blender, including one cup (237ml) of water if you are using a blender. 

If you are using a juicer, add the process the produce through the juicer without water.

4 Pulse blender for 15 seconds.

 Then, blend it on a higher setting. Add more water if the blades stop mixing.

5 Keep the juice unstrained from the blender to enjoy the high fiber content.

 Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you want a thinner juice. Skip this step if you used a juicer.

6 Consume immediately to receive all of the health benefits of the juice.

And then

 Making Green Juice

1 Prepare two stalks of celery, one cored apple, one carrot, one half a small English cucumber, a handful of spinach or kale, two tbsp. (3.8g) of parsley and the juice of one half of a lemon.

Spinach produces a sweeter juice than kale.

Replace the apple with oranges and pears if you desire.

Add several slices of fresh ginger for a little spice.

2 Wash the produce thoroughly.

 Chop the dense pieces of vegetables into smaller sections. If you are using a blender, you should chop all the fruit and vegetables into smaller pieces.

3 Set up your blender or juicer.

 Plug it in and attach the pitcher to the base.

4 Add the fruit and vegetables to your blender or juicer. 

Pour in one-half cup (118ml) of water.

5 Pulse the mix for 20 seconds.

 Then, blend on high. If you are using a juicer, it should remove the pulp and leave the juice below.

Add more water if the juice mixture gets stuck or doesn’t move well.

6 Strain the mixture if you used a blender.

 Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or a glass measuring cup. Pour the contents of the blender through the sieve.

Use cheesecloth secured over a bowl in place of a fine mesh sieve if you prefer.

7 Drink your juice immediately.

 It is best consumed within 15 to 20 minutes. Store extra juice in the fridge right after you make it.
