Ingredients

• 1 bunch of celery
• 1 green Granny Smith apple
• ½ unwaxed lemon
• 1 piece of ginger (about 2 cm)

Method

You’ll need: high-speed blender · chopping board · knife · sieve

1. Wash the celery, Granny Smith apple, unwaxed lemon and ginger thoroughly. Core the apple and cut everything into blender-friendly pieces.
2. Peel the lemon if you want a milder flavour. For the ginger, a rough chop is usually enough.
3. Put the celery, apple, lemon and ginger in a high-speed blender. Add a little water and blend until the juice is even and smooth.
4. If you prefer a finer texture, strain the mixture through a sieve or cloth. This makes the juice clearer and less fibrous.
5. Taste briefly: add a little extra lemon for more freshness, or a little water to make it milder. Drink straight after blending.
6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Good to know

A green juice like this tastes surprisingly fresh and lively. It's fresh and slightly tart with a gentle heat. Just right when you want something simple in a glass.

Swaps

Green Granny Smith apple → cucumber (less sugar, more liquid) ½ unwaxed lemon → lime (similarly fresh, often a little milder) 1 piece of ginger → fresh turmeric (milder, provides curcuminoids) 1 bunch of celery → fennel (milder flavour, provides fibre and potassium)

Allergens

Celery is one of the allergens that must be declared. For children and during pregnancy, the ingredients are usually fine in normal kitchen amounts; with a sensitive stomach or a known celery or citrus allergy, hold back.

Frequently asked questions

What nutrients are in celery?

Celery mainly provides water, some fibre, potassium and smaller amounts of vitamin K and folate. On top of that come natural plant compounds.

Is the green apple in this juice just for flavour?

No, Granny Smith brings acidity plus vitamin C, some potassium and polyphenols. Some of these sit right under the skin, so it's especially worth washing it well.

Does ginger suit everyone in a green juice?

Many people tolerate ginger well, but in sensitive people it can make heat, stomach irritation or heartburn worse. If you're sensitive, use only a little.

What does the lemon add nutritionally?

Lemon mainly provides vitamin C and organic acids, which make the flavour cleaner and fresher.

Is celery juice a problem with a celery allergy?

Yes, even small amounts can cause symptoms if you have a celery allergy. Celery stays a relevant allergen when raw too, so avoid it completely in that case.
