Full Recipe
Ingredients (1 serving)
-
1 cup fresh parsley (a small bunch)

3–4 large celery stalks

½–1 cup water (for blending)
-
Optional: 1 tsp honey or 1 green apple for sweetness
-
Optional: a small piece of ginger
Instructions
If using a juicer:
-
Wash parsley and celery thoroughly.
-
Cut celery into smaller pieces if needed.
-
Feed celery, parsley, and lime through the juicer.
-
Stir and drink immediately.
If using a blender:
-
Roughly chop parsley and celery.
-
Add them to the blender with ½–1 cup water.
-
Squeeze in the juice of one lime.
-

Strain through a fine sieve or drink as is.
Description
This bright green juice combines the hydrating minerals of celery, the antioxidants and chlorophyll in parsley, and the vitamin C boost from lime. The blend results in a refreshing, slightly tangy drink that may support digestion and hydration.
Notes
-
Parsley is strong in flavor; adjust quantity to taste.
-
Lime can be replaced with lemon if preferred.
-
Drink fresh — nutrients degrade quickly after juicing.
-
If you have kidney conditions requiring potassium restriction, consult a clinician before drinking high-potassium juices.
Tips
-
Add ice for a crisp, refreshing drink.
-
Blend with cucumber for extra hydration.
-
Use flat-leaf parsley for a milder taste; curly parsley is stronger.
-
Drink on an empty stomach for a lighter feel, though it’s not required.
