This recipe combines celery with other powerhouse ingredients to target full-body detoxification.
· Ingredients:
· 1 large bunch of celery (about 6–8 stalks), washed thoroughly
· 1 medium cucumber (for hydration and skin support)
· 1 green apple (for sweetness and liver support)
· 1 lemon, peeled (for vitamin C and kidney cleansing)
· 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (for anti-inflammatory and pancreas support)
· Instructions:
- Wash all produce well. Chop the celery, cucumber, and apple into pieces that fit your juicer or blender.
- If using a juicer: Run all ingredients through the juicer, stir, and drink fresh.
- If using a blender: Blend with ½ cup of water until smooth, then strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve to remove the pulp.
- Pour into a glass and drink immediately on an empty stomach (wait at least 15–20 minutes before eating breakfast for best absorption).
Why This “Cleanse” Works (The Science)
While no single drink “cleanses” organs overnight, these ingredients powerfully support your body’s natural detox systems:
· Blood & Skin: Celery is rich in antioxidants and vitamin K, which help reduce inflammation and support healthy blood flow—leading to a clearer complexion.
· Kidneys: Cucumber and lemon act as natural diuretics, helping flush out excess sodium and toxins through urine.
· Liver: Green apple contains malic acid, which helps soften and break down gallstones, supporting the liver’s filtration role.
· Pancreas: Ginger and celery help stabilize blood sugar levels, taking pressure off the pancreas.
Important Cautions Before You Drink
· Celery contains oxalates: If you have a history of kidney stones, drink this juice in moderation (3–4 times a week max).
· Low blood pressure: Celery can naturally lower blood pressure, so monitor your intake if you’re on BP medication.
· Pesticides: Celery is on the “Dirty Dozen” list—always buy organic or scrub thoroughly with a veggie brush.
