Fresh Green Detox Lime–Parsley–Celery Juice

A refreshing, nutrient-packed green drink made from parsley, celery, and fresh lime juice.

Full Recipe

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup fresh parsley (a small bunch)

  • 3–4 large celery stalks

  • 1 whole lime (peeled if using a blender; unpeeled if using a juicer)

  • 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:

  1. Wash parsley and celery thoroughly.

  2. Cut celery into smaller pieces if needed.

  3. Feed celery, parsley, and lime through the juicer.

  4. Stir and drink immediately.

If using a blender:

  1. Roughly chop parsley and celery.

  2. Add them to the blender with ½–1 cup water.

  3. Squeeze in the juice of one lime.

  4. Blend until smooth.

  5. 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.

Servings

1 tall glass (about 12–14 oz)
