Apple-Celery Zinger
this zesty little number mixes crunchy celery with sweet apple and fresh mint—it's like a hydrating hug in a glass, loaded with vitamins to kickstart your morning without the sugar crash. Total game-changer for feeling fresh!
COST Around $2.50–$3.50 for the whole batch
Equipment
- press juicer
- Nut milk bag or cheesecloth
Ingredients
- 3 cups Celery stalks 10-12 stalks, one big bunch
- 1½ cups Apple 1-2 medium, skin on!
- ½ cup Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Give your celery, apple, and mint a good rinse under cold water—no one wants gritty juice.
- Chop the celery and apple into 2-inch chunks (skin stays on the apple for that fiber kick).
- Fire up the juicer: Toss in celery first, then apple, mint last. Watch the magic pour out!
- No juicer? Blend everything with a splash of water, then squeeze through a nut bag. Strainer hack for the win.
- Give it a stir and chug right away—fresh is best. Yields about 16 oz total. Cheers!
Notes
- Hit it on an empty stomach for the full absorption vibes, but if you're new, start with half so your gut doesn't throw a party.
- Organic celery's smarter to skip pesticides. Leftovers? Jar 'em airtight in the fridge for up to 24 hours—shake before sipping.
- First-timers might feel a little bloated from the detox action—totally normal, just go slow. Oh, and skip if you're allergic to celery; safety first, friend!
