The easiest way to make celery juice is by running celery stalks through a juicer. But I’m going to show you how to make celery juice using a blender, as well. Both methods make excellent juice.

Instructions
Juicer Method
Chop off the leafy tops and the root base of the celery bunches.
Place the celery stalks in a colander and rinse them with water.
Gently wipe off any dirt lingering on the stalks.
Feed the celery stalks through the juicer and collect the juice in a glass jar.
Add a few ice cubes to quickly chill it and enjoy.
Blender Method
Chop off the leafy tops and the root base of the celery bunches.
Place the celery stalks in a colander and rinse them with water.
Gently wipe off any dirt lingering on the stalks.
Cut the celery stalks into thirds, and place the stalks in the blender.
Pour ¼ cup of water over the celery stalks and blend until smooth. You may need to press the stalks down using a spoon as you blend.
Place a nut milk bag or cheesecloth over a jar or pitcher.
Pour the blended celery into the nut milk bag.
Using your hands, squeeze the blended celery so the juices run through the bag.
Once the blended celery is no longer dripping, remove it from the jar. Your juice is ready to be served.
Add a few ice cubes to quickly chill it and enjoy.
Refrigerate any leftover juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Notes
I’ve tried both of these methods. Although using a juicer is much easier, the blender method still creates a satisfying and healthy drink.
It is normal for the juice to look separated when it settles. Simply give it a few quick shakes before pouring it into a glass.
While William recommends drinking 16 ounces first thing in the morning, I couldn’t find any clear and evidence supported reason for doing this, so I would just do what feels right for you.
