Notes
To really reap the benefits of celery juice, it's suggested that celery be juiced (no pulp), consumed on its own (no lemon or ice), and taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before breakfast.
It is best to drink the juice immediately after preparing it to reap the most benefits. While it can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, it will lose some of its nutrients over time.
