Celery, Apple, and Carrot Juice Benefits
Enjoy this refreshing and nutrient-packed goodness of Celery, Apple, and Carrot Juice. This easy-to-follow recipe combines the crispness of celery, the natural sweetness of apples, and the vibrant orange hue of carrots to create a deliciously balanced elixir. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, this healthy juice offers many health benefits. Consuming freshly squeezed juice is a great way to boost your immune system.
Nothing is better than indulging in fresh vegetables and fresh fruit, especially when they are in season.
Even though I would always recommend eating vegetables and fruits because they contain dietary fiber removed with juicing, drinking fresh juice also has benefits.
If you own a juicer, I wonder why you wouldn’t use this mighty equipment occasionally and prepare delicious quality vegetable juice, mainly if you use nutrient dense ingredients like celery, apples, carrots, beets, or leafy greens.
Why You’ll Love This Apple Carrot Celery Juice
- It is rich in vitamins and minerals: Celery is a high-nutrient, low-calorie food and a good source of vitamins A, K, and C, as well as minerals like potassium and folate. Apples provide vitamin C and potassium. Carrots are high in beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), vitamin K, and potassium.
- All three ingredients contain potent antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer.
- It has excellent anti-inflammatory effects: Celery contains compounds like apigenin and luteolin, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Apples contain flavonoids, which also have anti-inflammatory effects. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which may help reduce inflammation.
- It is excellent for hydration: Celery and apples have high water content, which can contribute to overall hydration.
Ingredients You’ll Need and Juicing Tips
- 1 apple – I like using Fuji apples because they are crisp and very juicy with a sugary sweet flavor, so they perfectly balance the taste of celery and carrots. You don’t have to peel the apple.
- 3 medium size carrots – you should wash and peel the carrots.
- 4 stalks of celery – make sure to wash and cut the ends of celery.
- I own a Magic Bullet Mini Juicer and like how juices come out. Juicing can be messy, so this juicer has easy-to-disassemble and clean parts. I clean it right after I’m done with juicing in the sink with hot water, not giving time for the pulp to stick.
- This amount of ingredients was enough to make a half-tall cup, so it was enough for one person.
- Whenever possible, choose organic produce to minimize exposure to pesticides. This is especially true for apples.
- If you find the juice too sweet or not sweet enough, you can adjust by adding more or fewer apples. I often dilute the freshly squeezed juice with water for less sweetness and better hydration.
- Drink Fresh! Freshly made juice is the most nutritious, so consume it shortly after juicing.

Quick Tip!
Enhance the flavor by adding a handful of mint leaves to your celery, apple, and carrot juice for a refreshing twist. The mint complements the natural sweetness of the fruits and adds a burst of coolness.
Conclusion
Now that you know all this, it’s important to note that the benefits I mentioned above are associated with the individual ingredients; the overall impact of the juice depends on personal consumption and the individual’s overall diet and health.
Additionally, consulting with a healthcare professional or nutritionist is always recommended, especially for individuals with specific health concerns or conditions, a medically restrictive diet, or a special calorie diet.
I firmly believe that breakfast is the most important meal of your day, so I don’t recommend consuming only this juice in the morning instead of calorie-dense, hearty meals. But, it can be a great addition to the balanced meal.
Especially if you are a big celery lover, the addition of celery to apples and carrots is a great way to incorporate more fresh produce into your diet, which will only do good for your overall health.
And if you are not a big lover of vegetable drinks, adding the earthy sweetness of apples is a great way to hide the presence of veggies. You can also add some freshly squeezed lemon juice for an additional dose of vitamin C.
