Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Separate the celery stalks and wash well. Trim the root ends and roughly chop, keeping one of the tender, young stems whole to serve.

  • STEP 2

    Put the chopped celery, apple, half the lemon juice and ginger in a food processor or blender and pulse to finely chop. With the motor running, add 50-100ml cold water and blend until smooth.

  • STEP 3

    Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a jug, pressing down with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice. Cover and chill or serve straight away. Stir the juice well, add a squeeze more lemon if you like, and serve in glasses with a piece of the reserved celery stalk.

RECIPE TIPS

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Try adding a little deseeded green chilli to the blender if you like some heat, 1 tsp turmeric for an earthy flavour or 1 tsp maple syrup for a little sweetness. 

CELERY SMOOTHIE

If you prefer more of a smoothie-style green juice, remove the strings from the ridges of the celery and blend in a liquidiser until smooth. No need to strain, just serve straight up.
