How to Make Mediterranean Celery Green Juice
1. Prepare the Produce
Wash all vegetables and herbs thoroughly. Cut the celery and cucumber into pieces that fit easily into your juicer or blender. If you’re using a green apple, remove the core before juicing or blending.
2. Juice or Blend
Using a Juicer
Feed the celery, cucumber, herbs, apple, and ginger through the juicer. Once juiced, stir in the fresh lemon juice and a small drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
Using a Blender
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender with about ½ cup of cold water. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut-milk bag if you prefer a smoother texture.
3. Adjust and Serve
Taste the juice and adjust the lemon or sweetness if needed. Serve immediately over ice for maximum freshness.
