Apple-Celery Juice

4 servings

Make your Apple-Celery juice in a 3 to 1 ratio: 3 parts apple juice to 1 part celery juice.

• 6 apples, cored, quartered
• 2 celery stalks, leaves removed

Make sure you have cut all the seeds from the apples to prevent the bitterness they create in the juice. Peeling is not necessary. Run apples and celery through the juicer. Stir well to combine and spoon off any foam that may form on the top, if desired.

Note: If storing the juice in the refrigerator, expect that it may separate and simply stir before serving. A nice touch is to serve it with a thin stalk of celery as a swizzle stick.

Special Note: Wait until you try this combination. The celery adds a tang to the apple juice that is absolutely delightful. The highly alkaline celery will neutralize acids in your stomach that may be causing discomfort. It helps maintain your blood in its delicate alkaline balance, that you feel wonderful and mellow rather than acid and irritated. In addition, celery is very high in natural sodium. When you perspire heavily during a workout or feel wilted because of the heat, this juice will put back the sodium you have lost. It actually raises your heat tolerance

Bon appetit!
