Ingredients
- 1 large bunch fresh celery (approximately 400g / 14 oz), washed and trimmed
- 1 medium carrot (100g / 3.5 oz), peeled and chopped
- 1 fresh lime, cut into pieces with peel removed
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger (15g / 0.5 oz), peeled and chopped
- 400 ml (1⅔ cups) filtered water
Instructions
Preparing the Vegetables
- Thoroughly wash the celery stalks under cold running water, removing any dirt or debris. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Trim the celery ends and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces for easier blending.
- Peel the carrot and cut into small chunks to ensure smooth blending.
- Wash the lime thoroughly, then cut in half and remove seeds. Cut into quarters, removing the peel but keeping the pulp.
- Peel the fresh ginger using a spoon or knife, then chop into small pieces.
Making the Juice
- Add all chopped vegetables, lime pieces, and ginger to a high-speed blender or juicer.
- Pour in the filtered water to help with blending consistency.
- Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- If using a regular blender, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp for a smoother juice consistency.
- If you prefer more fiber, you can drink the juice with the pulp included.
Serving Instructions
- Pour the fresh juice into a clean glass immediately after preparation for maximum nutrient retention.
- Consume one 200ml (¾ cup) glass with each main meal for seven consecutive days.
- Store any remaining juice in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Always stir or shake before drinking as natural separation may occur.

Why This Detox Juice is Beneficial
This natural detox juice combines several powerful ingredients that support the body’s natural cleansing mechanisms. Celery is exceptionally rich in antioxidants, potassium, and natural sodium, which help maintain proper fluid balance and support kidney function. The vegetable contains compounds called phthalides that may help relax blood vessel walls and promote healthy circulation. Carrots provide beta-carotene and vitamin A, essential for liver health and cellular regeneration. Fresh ginger contains gingerol, a potent anti-inflammatory compound that supports digestive health and may help reduce oxidative stress throughout the body. Lime adds vitamin C and citric acid, which can enhance the absorption of nutrients and provide additional antioxidant protection. The high water content helps maintain proper hydration, which is crucial for the kidneys’ filtering function. This combination of nutrients works synergistically to support the liver’s detoxification processes, promote healthy kidney function, and provide respiratory system support through anti-inflammatory compounds. Regular consumption as part of a balanced diet may help reduce inflammation, support immune function, and promote overall wellness.
