Step 1

Separate and wash the celery stalks. Shake off any extra water.

Step 2

Cut the leaves off the top of the stalks. (Most of the bitterness comes from the leaves.)

Step 3

Roughly chop the celery into pieces. (If you have a Vitamix or BlendTech, you can probably cut the celery into 3-4 inch segments. Yet if you are unsure how powerful your blender is, chop it smaller.)

Step 4

Place the chopped celery in the blender. Make sure the lid is on tight. Puree on high until the celery is smooth mush.

Step 5

Place the mesh strainer over the glass. Pour the celery pulp into the strainer and wait for the juice to separate down below.

Step 6

When it starts to slow, press the celery pulp with your hand (or a spoon) to squeeze out all the juice. Discard the pulp.
