Please let me begin by saying I am not usually trusted with glasses made of glass. I break them all the time. The cups I normally used are tupperware so they’re sturdy and not a big deal if you knock them over, which I do often, because they come with lids. The downside is that they are opaque. For the sake of the photo I used my husband’s beer pint.
I’ve been following Arshia Moorjani on youtube for years! Back when she was known as HappyTreasures I would watch her videos for recommendations on lipsticks and makeup tutorials. I attribute a lot of what I know now in the beauty department to her and TotalMakeupJunkie101. Recently Arshia posted a video on drinking celery juice; I decided to give it a try.

The juicer I use is a mid-level Breville. I love all Breville products and have had no issues with any of the appliances we have. Clean up is a little irksome but I would assume it would be the same for any juicer. I’m a juicing novice so I put a couple stalks in at a time and tried to push it down. In my head I thought it would be super quick and heavy duty like Barney’s shredder in How I Met Your Mother. But after two bundles noticed I wasn’t getting much juice so I tried it one at a time and following the stalk down with the plunger bit. This yielded MUCH better results.
As she discusses in the video, it takes some prep but it’s not unmanageable and one bundle makes about 8 ounces. I should’ve trusted that last tidbit more. I juiced two bundles and it was below 10 ounces and so I decided to juice two more bundles. That was a mistake. I don’t know why I had to juice ALL the celery I had instead of leaving some prepped for the next day. Mistake, Mistake, MISTAKE. I ended up with about 24 ounces of celery juice and after half of the first glass, I just couldn’t drink any more. I gave it to my sister, because, you know, I’m not wasteful.
This is not something I intend to daily, probably not even weekly. The taste wasn’t bad for me, it tastes just like celery and probably would have been pretty good with some salt. It was the sheer amount of juice was too much for me to consume this time. Another factor for me is the prep work. I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings, I sleep as much as I can and prefer quick morning options. It was still fun to try and figure that out for myself.
I highly recommend checking out Arshia Moorjani and TotalMakeupJunkie101! They’ve got some great videos.
