Freeze: Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months and thaw in the fridge.
Celery Juice (Blender or Juicer)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bunch celery
- 2 green apples
- 1 lemon peeled
- 1 inch gingerroot
- 2 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Wash produce well to remove any soil, removing any apple stems and citrus peels.
- Add a pitcher or container under juicer spout. With the motor running, place produce bit by bit into the feed chute of the juicer, using the food pusher to gently and slowly guide the produce down.
- As fruit and veggies are processed, juice will flow into the pitcher, and the separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container. You can save some of the pulp to add back into the juice for a bit of fibre if you desire, or you can discard it.
- Once juice of choice has been made in your pitcher, divide among four 8 oz glass bottles.
- BLENDER METHOD: Add all ingredients to a blender then blend until combined. Strain using a fine mesh sieve, then divide among juice containers.
