Why I Love This Juice

There’s something so therapeutic about pressing reset with a tall glass of vibrant green juice. I love making this celery cucumber juice first thing on Monday morning—especially if I’ve had a little too much wine or rich food over the weekend. You know those meals that are so worth it, but leave you craving something fresh and light the next day? This is that reset for me.

It’s clean, cooling, and invigorating. I drink a glass before my morning coffee, and it instantly wakes me up from the inside out. My skin feels dewier, my digestion feels lighter, and there’s something mentally satisfying about nourishing your body with fresh ingredients before diving into a busy week.

The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this refreshing, nutrient-packed juice:

• 1 head of fresh celery (leaves and all – don’t toss them!)
• 1 large cucumber (I like English cucumbers for their thinner skins)
• 1 small knob of fresh ginger (no need to peel!)
• ½ lemon (or a full lemon if you enjoy a more citrus-forward taste)

Ingredient Tips

• Celery is incredibly hydrating and high in antioxidants. Use the leaves too—they’re full of nutrients and add a subtle herbal note.
• Cucumber brings extra hydration and freshness. It’s high in water content and low in sugar, making it ideal for green juice.
• Ginger adds warmth and anti-inflammatory benefits. It balances out the earthy flavors of the celery.
• Lemon helps brighten the juice and adds a dose of vitamin C. It also enhances the natural flavors of the veggies.

How to Make Celery Cucumber Juice

You don’t need a fancy juicer for this—although it helps! Here’s how to make it with either a juicer or blender:

With a Juicer:

1. Wash all produce well.
2. Feed the celery, cucumber, ginger, and lemon (peeled if your juicer prefers it) through your juicer.
3. Stir and serve immediately over ice if desired.

With a Blender:

1. Roughly chop the celery and cucumber.
2. Add everything to a blender with ¼ cup of water.
3. Blend until smooth. Strain through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine mesh sieve.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Variations to Try

One of the reasons I love this green juice recipe is how customizable it is. Here are a few of my favorite twists:

• Celery Cucumber Apple Juice: Add ½ green apple for sweetness.
• Cucumber Celery Lemon Juice with Mint: Add a handful of fresh mint or basil for an herbaceous twist.
• Celery Cucumber Lime Juice: Swap lemon for lime for a tangier, tropical version.
• Celery Cucumber Smoothie: Add ½ banana and ½ cup of frozen pineapple and skip the straining step for a smoothie-style drink.
• Cucumber Celery Green Juice with Spinach: Blend in a small handful of baby spinach for an extra chlorophyll boost.

Health Benefits of Celery Cucumber Juice

This juice isn’t just refreshing—it’s loaded with goodness:

• Hydration: Thanks to the high water content in celery and cucumber.
• Supports digestion: Ginger and lemon can help stimulate digestion and reduce bloating.
• Rich in antioxidants: Helps fight inflammation and support skin health.
• Low in sugar: Unlike fruit-heavy juices, this version is light and blood sugar-friendly.

How to Store and Make Ahead

You can prep the ingredients ahead by washing and chopping the celery and cucumber, and storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. The juice is best served fresh but will last in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Tip: Freeze any leftover juice in an ice cube tray and pop a few into your water for a flavorful hydration boost!
