7 Celery Juice Combos That Actually Taste Good (Promise)

You’ve seen the green juice hype, but let’s be honest—straight celery juice can taste like garden hose. These combos fix that. They’re crisp, bright, and actually delicious while staying light and clean. Ready to upgrade your morning glass from “meh” to “heck yes”?

1. Zesty Green Glow-Up With Apple, Lime, And Ginger

This is the gateway celery juice—the one that converts skeptics. Tart lime and spicy ginger sharpen the sweetness of crisp apple while celery keeps things ultra-refreshing. It’s great first thing in the morning or after any heavy meal.

Ingredients:

• 6 stalks celery
• 1 large Granny Smith apple, cored
• 1/2 lime, peeled
• 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled
• 1/2 cup cold water or a handful of ice (optional, for blender method)

Instructions:

1. Wash produce well. Trim celery ends and cut everything into juicer-friendly pieces.
2. Run celery, apple, lime, and ginger through your juicer.
3. If using a blender, blend with water, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
4. Stir, taste, and add a squeeze more lime if you want extra zing.

Serve over ice for that crisp, spa-water vibe. Want it spicier? Add more ginger. Want it sweeter? Swap in a Honeycrisp apple.

2. Spa Day In A Glass: Celery, Cucumber, Mint, And Pineapple

This one tastes like a poolside mocktail—bright, cooling, and lightly sweet. Pineapple softens celery’s grassy edge while cucumber and mint make it ultra-refreshing. You’ll want this after a workout, trust me.

Ingredients:

• 5 stalks celery
• 1/2 large cucumber
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or thawed frozen)
• 10–12 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 lime, peeled (optional, for extra brightness)

Instructions:

1. Prep produce by cutting into chunks that fit your juicer chute.
2. Juice celery and cucumber first, then pineapple and mint, ending with the lime.
3. Stir well to combine the flavors.
4. Chill for 10 minutes if you can wait—flavors get even better.

Serve in a chilled glass with a sprig of mint. For a mocktail moment, top with a splash of sparkling water.

3. Citrus Sunrise: Celery, Orange, Carrot, And Turmeric

Think sunshine in a glass with anti-inflammatory perks. Sweet oranges and carrots level out celery’s herbiness, while turmeric adds warmth and color. It’s a perfect brunch juice—bright, cheery, and ridiculously sippable.

Ingredients:

• 5 stalks celery
• 2 medium oranges, peeled
• 2 medium carrots, trimmed
• 1-inch knob fresh turmeric, peeled (or 1/4 tsp ground turmeric)
• Pinch of black pepper (optional, boosts turmeric absorption)

Instructions:

1. Peel oranges and turmeric; chop everything into juicer-sized pieces.
2. Juice celery, carrots, oranges, and turmeric.
3. Stir in a tiny pinch of black pepper if using.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness with another orange if needed.

Pour over ice for a mellow, brunchy vibe. Add a squeeze of lemon if you want more tartness, or a knob of ginger for extra zip.

4. Garden Cooler: Celery, Pear, Lemon, And Basil

This combo tastes like a fancy café creation—lightly sweet pear, lemony sparkle, and a whisper of basil. It’s elegant without trying too hard. Serve it when you want something refreshing but not sugary.

Ingredients:

• 6 stalks celery
• 1 ripe pear (Bosc or Bartlett), cored
• 1/2 lemon, peeled
• 6–8 fresh basil leaves
• 3–4 ice cubes (optional, for blender method)

Instructions:

1. Prep and chop your produce. Stack basil leaves to keep them from getting lost in the juicer.
2. Juice celery and pear first, then the lemon and basil.
3. Stir and taste—add an extra basil leaf or two if you love herbaceous notes.
4. Serve immediately for brightest flavor.

Garnish with a torn basil leaf. No basil? Use mint or a tiny sprig of rosemary for a different twist.

5. Spicy Sipper: Celery, Jalapeño, Lime, And Green Apple

If you like a little heat, this one slaps. Jalapeño wakes up the palate while lime and apple keep things balanced and crisp. It’s basically a clean, green spicy margarita—minus the tequila (though, FYI, I won’t judge on weekends).

Ingredients:

• 6 stalks celery
• 1 green apple, cored
• 1/2 lime, peeled
• 1–2 slices jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat)
• Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions:

1. Slice a small piece of jalapeño to start—you can always add more.
2. Juice celery and apple first, then lime and jalapeño.
3. Stir and taste. Add a pinch of sea salt if you like savory vibes.
4. If you want more heat, juice another thin jalapeño slice.

Serve over crushed ice with a lime wheel. Swap jalapeño for a slice of serrano if you’re feeling brave, or muddle in some cilantro for taco-truck energy.

6. Tropical Greens Refresher: Celery, Mango, Spinach, And Coconut Water

Silky, bright, and not too sweet—this one drinks like a green smoothie’s lighter cousin. Mango brings body and sunshine, spinach adds nutrients without flavor drama, and coconut water keeps it hydrating. It’s perfect for afternoons when you need a gentle pick-me-up.

Ingredients:

• 5 stalks celery
• 1 cup ripe mango chunks (fresh or thawed)
• 1 packed cup spinach
• 3/4 cup coconut water
• 1/2 lime, peeled (optional)

Instructions:

1. If using a juicer, juice celery and spinach, then blend the juice with mango and coconut water. If using a blender, blend everything together until smooth.
2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag if you want a thinner juice.
3. Stir in lime for brightness and taste for balance.
4. Chill or serve over ice.

Top with a few cubes of frozen mango as “ice.” For extra creaminess, add 1–2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and skip straining—more smoothie, still delish.

7. Farmers’ Market Fix: Celery, Strawberry, Beet, And Lemon

Don’t fear the beet—it brings a gorgeous color and subtle earthiness that plays beautifully with strawberries and lemon. Celery keeps it crisp and clean. It’s the perfect “I want something pretty that tastes amazing” juice.

Ingredients:

• 5 stalks celery
• 6–8 medium strawberries, hulled
• 1 small beet, trimmed and peeled
• 1/2 lemon, peeled
• 1/2 cup cold water or a few ice cubes (optional, for blender method)

Instructions:

1. Chop beet into small pieces so it juices or blends easily.
2. Juice celery and beet first, then strawberries and lemon.
3. If blending, add a splash of water, blend smooth, and strain if desired.
4. Stir and adjust with an extra strawberry if you want more sweetness.

Serve immediately to keep the color vivid. Add a pinch of sea salt to make the strawberry pop, IMO it’s a game-changer.
