Celery Juice | How To Make Celery Juice In A Blender

So celery juice has sort of taken over the internet lately. We are talking all things celery juice. I counted a little bit over 30 heads of celery. I am about to try my celery juice. And since celery juice has become this huge thing all of a sudden, I figured I'd show you guys how to make celery juice without a juicer. Mainly because I don't own a juicer but I do own a blender and that's all you need to make today's celery juice recipe. So let's get started. So if we're making celery juice, we obviously need some celery. And for today's recipe, we're going to be using two large stalks of celery. So we're going to go ahead and get those out of our fridge. And as you're seeing here, a lot of times there's dirt on celery. So what you want to do is wash this really, really well because obviously you're not going to want to drink that dirt. So bring your celery over to your sink and give it a really good washing and scrubbing with your hands. And I even recommend that you pull the celery apart and wash the inside stalks of the celery as well. Just to be on the safe side. So once you've washed both stalks, that's when you want to bring them over to your cutting board and cut off both ends of the celery. Once you've removed both ends, that's when you want to trim up any extra stragglers that are attached to the celery. And when you've taken care of those, that's when you want to cut the celery into thirds. By the way, don't get rid of the hearts of the celery, the lighter pieces of celery, because these are typically the sweetest pieces of celery. So you won't want to throw these away. All right, so at this point, we've chopped up both stalks of celery into thirds and you'll want to start adding those pieces of celery to your blender. My blender is an Oster, it's fantastic. It's kind of a mid-range blender. It's not super expensive, but it's also not super cheap. And if you're in the market for a new blender, this is the one that I'd go with. Obviously, I own this one. So there'll be a link for it in the video description below if you want to get it. Anyways, at this point, we should have our first batch of celery added to our blender. And now we're just going to add a quarter cup of water to help get things started in there. So now at this point, we can pop the top onto our blender and start blending our celery. And it's really common that in the beginning of blending the celery, the celery might not reach the blades that well. So what I like to do is take the handle of a spatula and just start pressing the celery down into the blades. This just helps expedite the process a little bit more. So I guess that's my pro tip for you if you happen to run into a situation like that. But really, it's only going to happen in the first batch of blending your celery. Once that first batch of celery blends down, it should be smooth sailing from there and you should have no problem blending the rest of your celery. So once you've got all the celery blended, you want to get out a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth. I'm using a nut milk bag today. If you want to pick these up, there's a link in the video description below to them. And you're also going to want to get out a large cup as well. I recommend a large measuring cup just because it's easy to pour. Anyways, no matter what bowl you decide to go with, you'll want to line it with the nut milk bag or the cheesecloth. And then you'll want to add all the celery juice from the blender into the nut milk bag. So this is the workout part of the juice making process. And this is where you're going to have to squeeze all of the juice out of the nut milk bag. And it's definitely going to take a couple of minutes to get all the juice or most of the juice out of the bag. So just be patient with it. But eventually you'll end up with three to four cups of deliciously vibrant celery juice. I recommend storing it in the fridge for up to three days and I hope you guys enjoy it.
