Wash Thoroughly: Rinse the celery stalks under cold running water. Ensure you remove any dirt trapped in the base of the stalks.
Chop (Optional): If using a blender, chop the stalks into 1-inch pieces. If using a high-speed juicer, you can leave them whole.
The Juicing Process:
Using a Juicer: Feed the stalks through. Drink immediately for maximum nutrient density.
Using a Blender: Add the chopped celery with a splash of filtered water. Blend until smooth.
Strain (For Blender Users): Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer into a glass pitcher. Squeeze well to extract all the liquid, leaving the pulp behind.
Finish: Squeeze in fresh lime and serve over ice if desired.
