Celery juice has gained popularity far and wide in the health industry and for great reason. You may have heard about it from the celery juice guru himself, Anthony Williams, aka The Medical Medium, or from the Hollywood wellness scene. This seemingly simple vegetable has many potential benefits when turned into a concentrated cold-pressed fresh juice.
Consistency is key when it comes to this gut-supporting drink. Drink one bottle of celery juice each morning on an empty stomach and you may notice positive changes over time. Many people report improved energy, reduced occasional bloating, and an overall sense of wellness.
But before we get into the nitty-gritty behind this beloved drink, let's debunk the celery juice myth once and for all: "...Celery juice cannot be drunk once it's been frozen."
This is simply not true. You can freeze celery juice and still enjoy its benefits. The key here is how it's frozen.
Why We Flash Freeze
At Raw Generation, we freeze our celery juice along with all of our other juices and smoothies. But we don't use any plain old freezer. We use a blast freezer.
This is a method of freezing that freezes very quickly. Once our juices are made, they are quickly put into our flash freezer. This freezing process is designed to help preserve the nutritional content and flavor of the juice.
Other companies skip the flash freezing process. Instead, they chemically heat and treat their products to give them a longer shelf life. These harsh processes come with a cost that can significantly degrade the nutritional value and the taste of the product.
We believe the best way to help lock in the flavor, freshness, and nutrients of our products is to freeze them quickly. Plus, flash-freezing is the reason we can deliver our juices fresh to your doorstep.
How Long Does Celery Juice Last?
Frozen celery juice can last in the freezer for up to 6 months, so there's no need to rush through the bottles.
Defrost your juices as needed. If you plan on drinking your juice in the morning, which is what I recommend for the best experience, defrost it in the refrigerator the night before.
Never drink juice that has been left at room temperature for an extended period of time. Exposure to air and warmth can accelerate the oxidation process, compromising freshness. To ensure you enjoy the full benefits of your drink, consume it within 24 hours of thawing.
Convenience At Your Door Step
Drinking celery juice is not something you drink "once in a blue moon." It's something that works best when incorporated into your daily routine. But as most of us know, daily juicing can be a daunting task.
Making your own celery juice at home is a hassle. Who has the motivation to wash celery stalks, juice them, and clean up? Every single day. Along with working, getting the kids to school, walking the dog, and all of the many errands we have to run. It's just not realistic for the majority of us.
Luckily, at Raw Generation, we deliver cold-pressed juices and smoothies straight to your door, celery juice included. Say goodbye to the days of messing with celery sticks and big messes and hello to convenient, nutrient-rich nutrition.
Potential Benefits of Celery Juice
You can still enjoy all the potential benefits celery juice has to offer, even if it's been frozen beforehand.
Daily servings of fresh celery juice may support your health in several ways. This veggie doesn't seem like much on its own. But it's rich in compounds that may support digestive wellness when juiced.
Celery juice contains plant compounds including luteolin and apigenin, which have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory properties [1]. These compounds may help support a healthy inflammatory response in the body.
Celery juice also contains natural sodium and minerals that may support healthy digestion. Many people who drink it regularly report improvements in occasional bloating and digestive comfort.
Additionally, celery juice is hydrating and contains nutrients that may support skin health, sleep quality, and overall wellness.
Can I Snack on Celery Instead?
Sure, some chopped celery sticks make for a great, raw snack. But you won't get the same concentrated nutrition.
The concentrated form of juice delivers nutrients in a more easily absorbable form compared to eating whole celery stalks.
