Celery Juicing Recipes

Celery is one of my favorite snacking vegetables.  What I like to do is the “peanut butter boat,” which is filling the entire trough of the celery stalk with peanut butter and then eating it.  It’s even better if you make your own peanut butter with your juicer (that’s if you have an auger juicer – you have an auger juicer, right?!)  It’s actually quite simple too.  I’ll bring this topic up again at a later time.

Anyway, celery makes a great component to your vegetable juicing recipes and has loads of health benefits.  Celery contains a collection of essential amino acids, vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, potassium and vitamin B’s.  Celery juice has the potential to treat asthma and bronchitis.  Studies have also shown that celery juice can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stomach and colon cancers.  It has the ability to calm the body’s nerves and curb appetites as well.  Quite potent, wouldn’t you say?

Celery juice has great soothing powers in your juicer recipes.  It can calm the body’s nerves, curb appetites and lower blood pressure, making it great on a hot day, after exercising, or before you go to sleep.  In fact, celery is great for vegetable juicing recipes for weight loss.

Ironically, even though I love celery, I am allergic to it.  When I eat it, my tongue goes numb after a while and I can’t taste foods.  It wasn’t always like that though.  I’m not sure if I developed an allergy to it or if the celery I’ve been eating is laced with pesticides (anyone else have this problem?).  Either way, it sure won’t detract me from adding celery to my vegetable juicing recipes.

Celery haters may say that it has too much salt in it.  Even though it has a salty taste, the sodium found in it is not the same as ordinary table salt, so there is no need to worry.  Don’t be afraid to add celery to your juicing recipes to give them a pleasantly salty taste.  And be sure to juice the leaves as well!

    It is normal for a person’s tongue to go numb from eating raw celery. Check out the website I have listed.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the link! I guess that answers my question. Thankfully it’s completely normal and I won’t have to worry about juicing celery.
