Ingredients
Cucumber Celery Juice
You can make this green juice with just celery, cucumber and water if you want. I add a little squeeze of lemon sometimes for extra flavor. And there are other flavor enhancers you can add like ginger or apple.
How to make cucumber celery juice
I make my fresh juices in my blendtec. It’s much simpler to me than messing around with a juicer. Plus, I really hate appliances and kitchen tools that only serve one purpose. Since the blendtec is so powerful, you can essentially use it as a food processor, juicer and of course a blender!
All you need to do to make this is add the celery, cucumber, water and squeeze of lemon (if you want) to the blender. Blend until smooth, then strain out the pulp through a mesh strainer.
And there you have it! Beautiful, healthy, tasty Celery Cucumber Juice!
Make it apple cucumber celery juice
If you are new to green juice, or you just need a touch more sweetness, you might want to add some apple to this! All you need to do is throw in some chopped apple.
I like to use a sweet/tart variety like honeycrisp. These are usually quite large so I just use one half of an apple. If you are using a smaller variety like gala, you can use one whole apple.
A deeper look at the health benefits of celery cucumber juice
1. Nutrient-Rich
Cucumbers and celery are both low-calorie vegetables that boast an impressive nutritional profile. Cucumbers are rich in vitamins K and C, while celery provides a good dose of vitamin K, potassium, and folate. The combination of these two vegetables creates a juice that’s not only hydrating but also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals.
2. Hydration
Both cucumber and celery have high water content, making this juice an excellent choice for staying hydrated. Proper hydration is vital for various bodily functions, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and temperature regulation. This refreshing juice can be a tasty alternative to plain water, encouraging increased fluid intake.
3. Antioxidant Boost
Cucumbers and celery are abundant in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and tannins. These compounds help combat oxidative stress in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and supporting overall health. Including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet is like giving your body a natural defense mechanism against free radicals.
4. Digestive Harmony
Both cucumber and celery are known for their digestive-friendly properties. The fiber content aids in maintaining a healthy digestive system, promoting regular bowel movements, and preventing constipation. The juice may also be gentle on the stomach, making it a refreshing choice for those with sensitive digestive systems.
