Ingredients

• 2 stalks of celery
• 1 lemon
• 150ml water

Method

You’ll need: blender · chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Wash the celery and cut it into short pieces so the fibres don't get caught in the blender.
2. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice over the celery.
3. Put the pieces in the blender with the water and blend everything until frothy.
4. Stretch a clean cotton cloth over a bowl and slowly pour the mixture through it.
5. Wring the cloth out firmly and drink the juice straight away.

Good to know

Celery juice is a real classic among unsweetened drinks. The lemon takes the edge off the bitterness of the veg and adds freshness.

Swaps

Lemon → lime (lime juice tastes a little rounder and softer if lemon is too sharp for you in the morning).

Cooking tips

Don't throw away the firm fibres left in the cloth. They're great mixed into veg stir-fries or veggie patties.

Storage

Celery juice oxidises very quickly and tastes watery after a few hours. Always drink it straight away and cold.
