Yesterday, was Onam and we celebrated it with a grand feast! After indulging in a lavish Sadya, my digestive system craved a break. I found my body needed something light and hydrating. That’s when I turned to this simple and refreshing Apple Celery Juice. It’s the perfect reset, offering a gentle cleanse while still tasting delicious.
Why I Love Apple Celery Juice? This juice combines the fresh, crisp flavors of green apple and celery. A dash of lemon gives it an extra zing too. Not only does this drink taste great, but it also offers key health benefits that support digestion and overall wellness.
Health Benefits of Celery and Apple Juice:

Customizations
This juice is incredibly versatile. Here’s how we can customize it:
- Add Ginger: A small piece of fresh ginger gives the juice a warm, spicy kick and boosts its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Boost with Greens: To add extra nutrients, throw in a handful of spinach or kale. It doesn’t affect the flavor much but gives the juice an extra vitamin boost.
- Swap Water for Coconut Water: Using coconut water as the base adds natural sweetness and extra hydration through its electrolytes.
- Sweetness Adjustment: If you want a sweeter juice, use a tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar instead of sugar.
