Carrot Apple Celery Juice
Look, we’ve all had that moment. You open the fridge, see some sad carrots hanging out in the back like they’ve been exiled, and think, “What am I even doing with my life?” Good news: you’re about to give those carrots the redemption arc they deserve.
This juice is crisp, naturally sweet, and just earthy enough to make you feel like you’ve made solid life choices—without tasting like you licked a garden hose. Let’s get into it.
What Makes It Awesome
Let’s be honest: carrot juice on its own is a bit… meh. But pair it with apple and celery? Now we’re talking.

- Sweet meets savory – The apple keeps things juicy and sweet, while celery adds that subtle, salty crunch vibe.
- Super satisfying – Thanks to the fiber and natural sugars, it actually fills you up (but not like “regret after smoothie bowl” full).
- Bright and vibrant – It looks like sunshine in a glass. Bonus: it might make your skin glow too.
- Seriously good for you – Carrots bring beta-carotene to the party, apples throw in antioxidants, and celery helps you hydrate like a champ.
And IMO, it just feels wholesome. Like something you’d drink after a morning hike you didn’t hate.
Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll toss into your blender or juicer:
- 2 medium carrots – Peeled if you want, scrubbed if you’re lazy (no shame).
- 1 medium apple – Go red for sweeter, green for more tart. Dealer’s choice.
- 1 celery stalk – Adds depth and a little bit of that “this is definitely healthy” taste.
- 1/2 cup cold water – Optional, but helps if you’re blending.
- A squeeze of lemon (optional) – Adds a tiny zing and keeps it fresh.
That’s it. No powders. No potions. Just real stuff you can pronounce.
Alternatives
You want options? I got you:
- Swap the apple – Try pear for a softer sweetness, or pineapple for tropical vibes.
- Add ginger – For a bit of a kick and an immunity boost. Just a small slice, though. Don’t go full fire-breathing dragon.
- Throw in orange – If you want it brighter and more citrus-forward.
- No celery? Honestly, just double up on carrot. It’s not the end of the world.
Basically, this juice is forgiving. Unlike your metabolism.
Calories
Here’s the damage—or rather, the lack of it:
- Carrots (2 medium): ~50 cal
- Apple (1 medium): ~95 cal
- Celery (1 stalk): ~6 cal
- Lemon: ~4 cal
- Water: lol, 0
Total: ~155 calories
A full glass of flavor for under 160 cals? Yeah, you’re crushing it.
FAQ
Is this better in a juicer or blender?
Juicer = smoother. Blender = more fiber. Either works, just strain it if you don’t like pulpy juice. Or don’t. Be bold.
Can I make a big batch?
Yes—but keep it refrigerated and drink within 24 hours. It starts to taste weird after that, and nobody wants “fermented celery tang” at breakfast.
Can I drink this instead of breakfast?
Technically, yes. But don’t skip protein. This is a juice, not a magic spell.
Will it make me poop?
Let’s just say… your gut will be grateful. Especially if you’ve been living on takeout and coffee for three days.
Final Thoughts
Carrot Apple Celery Juice is that low-effort, high-reward kind of healthy you can actually stick with. It tastes good, looks great, and gives your system a nudge in the right direction. Think of it like the adult version of pressing the reset button—only you don’t need to skip your morning scroll for it.
Give it a shot. Worst case? You still get a vitamin boost. Best case? You become that person who drinks orange juice that didn’t come from a carton. Fancy.
