Celery Juice: Benefits and How to Make It

Updated July 4, 2026 · 6 min read · By the Mi Herbario editorial team

Celery juice became a huge wellness trend. Here's an honest look at what it can offer, an easy recipe, and what to realistically expect.

What is celery juice?

It's simply the juice extracted from fresh celery stalks — hydrating, very low in calories, and mildly savory.

Benefits of celery juice

1. Hydrating and low-calorie

Celery is mostly water, so its juice is refreshing and light.

2. Some vitamins and antioxidants

It provides vitamin K and antioxidant compounds.

Honest note: celery juice is a healthy drink, but it doesn't "detox" your body or cure conditions. Whole celery (with its fiber) is just as valuable.

How to make celery juice

  1. Wash a bunch of celery well.
  2. Blend with a little water, then strain — or use a juicer.
  3. Add lemon for flavor and drink fresh.

Precautions

Frequently asked questions

Is celery juice good for weight loss?

It's low in calories and hydrating, which can help within a balanced diet, but it's not a magic solution.

Should I drink celery juice on an empty stomach?

Many people do, but there's no need to follow strict rules — fit it into a balanced day.

Is whole celery as good as the juice?

Yes — whole celery keeps the fiber the juice removes.
