MY CELERY JUICE ROUTINE
I’m not going to lie, celery juice is not the most appetizing thing I’ve ever had.
However, the benefits of it FAR outweigh the not-so-amazing taste. I MISS IT when I don’t have my celery juice for a couple of days because it makes me feel so good!
I have been drinking 32oz. Of celery juice most days since August 2020. Keep reading more to find out how I prep and make my celery juice each day!
You will find information about buying, prepping, and making celery juice. I also provide tips on consumption as well as information about the taste. Celery juice has been an integral part of my healing journey.

BUYING CELERY
Organic Vs. Conventional
Anthony William (AW), the Medical Medium (MM) recommends you buy organic when you can. Organic foods are not sprayed with pesticides as part of their cultivation process.
The usda.gov site states that organic foods are grown and processed under federal guidelines to regulate many factors of organic food. Organic producers need to rely on natural substances without the use of synthetic chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides) to help in the growing and harvesting process. Certified organic produce should have been grown in soil that has had no prohibited substances applied for 3 years prior to harvest.
Please visit this site to find out more about the USDA organic foods explanation.
However, MM states that organic foods still need to be prepped and washed in similar ways to conventional foods because pesticides and chemicals can travel in the air. The organic farms can get clouds of pesticides that may come into the air from adjacent farms.
There is also the issue of finding organic celery. Celery juice is very popular. Many people do not consume it correctly, but it has been a trend on social media because famous people who started posting about it didn’t explain it was from a Medical Medium. This causes the chronically ill to be confused about these tools and how to use them properly.
Conventional Celery
Cost
Organic celery was 3x more than conventional celery.
Bunch of celery compared to celery hearts.
2 cut celery hearts that only yielded 16 ounces cost me $3. One regular-sized conventional celery heart that yielded about 24 oz of celery juice cost about $1.19. Prices have gone up with the pandemic as well so organic is just out of my range when I have 32 oz. a day.
I was only drinking 16 oz. of celery when buying organic.
Additionally, buying celery juice from a juice bar costs me $7 for only 16 oz. This is not feasible with my budget. They also didn’t wash the celery before juicing and they used a really fast centrifugal juicer. They also didn’t strain it at the end either.
Therefore, I stick with conventional celery that I juice on my own and soak it in a bin with plant-based soap to clean it well before consuming it. (More on this next.)
I buy about 12-14 bunches a week.
CLEANING CELERY
I prepare my celery to use for my juice for about 4-5 days at a time. It varies depending on how big the celery is. I usually get a solid 4 days out of the steps I follow below.
These are steps with pictures:
1. Clear out the dishes from the sink.
2. Fill up a 2-gallon bin in the sink with lukewarm water.
3. Put a squirt of 7th generation soap in the bin.
4. Take 6-7 celery hearts and remove the plastic.
5. Cut the tops off about ½ of an inch as well as the bottom.
6. Move the celery around a bit to break up the hearts so the soapy water will get on all the celery.
7. Put the celery in the bin to soak for about 20 minutes to a couple of hours if I have to go somewhere.
Update 9-9-22; I no longer let my celery stalks sit in the wash bin. I just rinse them and run my finger down the center. Someone mentioned in the Facebook group that leaving it sitting in water isn’t good for the celery. It absorbs too much of the toxic faucet water. Hope this helps:)
8. Dump the water and celery into the sink.
9. Rinse the bin out and put it in a place to dry.
10. Clear out the drying rack if needed.
11. Rinse off the celery one stalk at a time being sure to run your finger over the center of it as this is the best way to wash the celery.
12. Place cleaned celery on a drying rack.
13. Make celery juice if needed.
14. Put the rest of the celery stalks in a drawer in the fridge.
15. Clean the juicer and let dry in the drying rack.
Medical Medium does not say this but I know from yoga and learning about chakras that you have a lot of chakras in your hands. People can also do energy work to heal and a lot of that comes through the hands to move energy. I think that this could be why this method is so effective in cleaning the celery.
MAKING CELERY JUICE
I tried juicing celery in my Nutribullet one time before I did my first 369 cleanse in August of 2020. It didn’t work at all. I would have had to add water to get it to juice, and MM says that water destroys the celery juice’s power. So this was not going to work.
Therefore, I made the decision to make an investment in my health and bought a $300 juicer. The good thing is that it has lasted me an entire 1.5 years and it is still going strong. It was worth every penny because it is easy to clean and yields a lot of juice. The pulp is almost dry which means it extracts all the juice from the fiber.
MM says it is a medical machine. I made the investment in myself and my health!
I try to make the celery fresh each morning, but sometimes I make it at night for the next day so it saves me about 10 minutes to 15 minutes in the morning. I am not a morning person so this does help me get ready faster when I prepare it at night.
MM says that celery juice is good for 24 hours after it is juiced but it does lose its potency each hour. He does not recommend drinking celery juice after 24 hours of juicing. When I juice at night it sits for about 10 hours.
On the weekends I always make it fresh in the morning. Some days during the week I will make it fresh in the morning as well.
CLEANING UP
A quick rinse of all the equipment is sufficient for most days. Once a week I will use the soap and a sponge to do a thorough cleaning. Another option is to run the equipment through the top of the dishwashing machine.
It takes me only 2-3 minutes to rinse all the equipment but it takes me about 10 minutes to clean it thoroughly with soap. It also takes me about 2-3 minutes to put it in the dishwasher, but washing it in my hand always gets more mineral deposits off. Getting into all the nooks and crannies of the main juicing part is best with hand.

Refer to the video on my YouTube link below to see more detail on how easy it is to rinse!
HOW LONG DOES ALL THIS TAKE?
It takes me 9 minutes to clean 6-7 celery hearts and minutes to run it through the juicer. It takes another 10 minutes to use soap and clean the juicer well. It only takes 2 minutes to rinse on a quick wash.
TIPS ON CONSUMING CELERY JUICE
If you have never had celery juice in the past then I highly recommend you start slow.
Start with about 4-8oz at first and sip it slowly through the morning. When you guzzle the juice down then you may have an intense reaction like having to use the bathroom very quickly in an emergency situation.
If you ever had diarrhea in your life; you will have diarrhea drinking celery juice. The celery juice does not cause diarrhea but it is a powerful medicine that moves all the gunk in your digestive tract which causes diarrhea.
The gunk is from the rancid, undigested proteins and fat that stick to the intestinal lining. It is also this putrefied and rancid material that strep (a bacteria) likes to feed on. MM said in a recent Tik Tok video that if you ever feel cramping and discomfort in your lower right abdomen, it is from things you are trying to digest from getting stuck in the ilium and the opening into the ilium.
Celery juice helps with digestion and killing off pathogens in the body and so much more! MM has an entire book dedicated just to Celery Juice!
TASTE
I don’t think it is unpleasant, but sometimes it can be bitter so that is when it is not as pleasant.
Celery can be bitter when the celery is smaller and greener. Also, if you juice more of the leaves the juice will be a bit more bitter. I will still drink it if it is bitter because I know how healing it is.
Celery juice tastes like celery! I can taste the sodium cluster salts that give it a bit of a salty taste, but the salt is not unpleasant like too much salt on your food. The salt is in a very hydrating liquid so it isn’t like having table salt at all.
I prefer to get the bigger light green stalks that tend to be a bit juicier. They are the most pleasant tasting. Sometimes you can’t tell what kind of stalk you will get from the outside of the celery heart.
