Is Celery Juice the Real Deal? We Asked the Experts

Variety is said to be the spice of life, but does it apply to celery juice? It depends. William explained in his viral blog post that celery juice is most powerful when drunk solo on an empty stomach. (Those who don't like the taste of 100 percent celery juice can try blending celery with carrot or cucumber initially then gradually reducing the amount.)

On the flip side, science encourages mixing celery with a variety of vegetables to boost the nutrient profile and provide more benefits says Shacter. And Rausch points out that combining celery with sweeter fruit and veggies balances it out: Mixing apples and carrots will make it taste more like fruit juice.
