Celery Recipe #1: Spinach, Apple, Lemon Cleanse
We love this refreshing green juice, like a crunchy chopped salad in a glass.
If the blend’s not sweet enough for you, push an additional green apple through the juicer. Spinach, snap peas, and cucumber deliver masses of minerals and alkalizing chlorophyll to oxygenate the blood and cells.
A natural diuretic, celery helps with fluid retention, green apple cleans out the colon, and lemon breaks down toxins in the liver.
Add a splash of apple cider vinegar for prebiotic punch, salt to bring out the flavors and further alkalize the blend, and cayenne to move your metabolism, encourage sweating to detox the skin, and spice up the party!

My mom got me started eating healthy snacks as a kid with this simple vegan snack. Thankfully, no one in our family has any peanut allergies. I love the the classic “Ants on a log” snack made with celery, peanut butter, and raisins. Yum. When I go to potluck meals and I don’t really have time to make anything extravagant, I buy those three ingredients and make them on the fly at the party. So simple.
great celery recipes, will try!
