    Crisp, clean and refreshing sounds like an iced tea commercial but I'm talking about green juice! Vibrant, health-giving, alkalinizing, celery fennel green juice.  While celery is the star and core of many juices (and many drink it alone thanks to the Medical Medium), celery and fennel is a terrific combination. Try switching up your usual green juice for my current favorite, celery fennel green juice.

    Many people are surprised to hear I juice fennel. While I love cooking with fennel in soups and stews, shaved raw salads, and as a standalone vegetable, juicing highlights it lightly licorice flavor. Instead of discarding the top stalks and fronds that you don't cook with them, use them for juicing. 

    Fennel Nutrition

    With an impressive list of vitamins and minerals, fennel provides a wide range of health benefits supporting bone health, blood pressure, and heart health. It also boosts immune function and lowers inflammation. The real benefit of juicing fennel is in a unique phytonutrient called anethole. WHFoods reports that in animal studies, the anethole in fennel has repeatedly been shown to reduce inflammation and to help prevent the occurrence of cancer.

    Juicing Tips

    Depending on your juicer brand, cut the celery and fennel into small pieces. Fennel is particularly hard when raw, so chop it into small chunks. Some juicers, like what I use, handle whole ribs of celery easily, or chop them up as well.

    Celery fennel green juice tastes amazing fresh out of the machine. Depending on your juicer, it may hold for 24 to 72 hours.  For a juicer that stabilizes juices for up to 72 hours (so you can juice a few days at a time) check out this juicer from Tribest. When buying vegetables for juicing, be sure to buy organic.

    I'm sure you've heard the noise on celery juice and seen stores unable to keep celery in stock, but is it hype or healing? Read this post.

    Celery Fennel Green Juice

    Celery Fennel green juice is a refreshing change-up to your usual green juice recipe. Use the bulb, tops and fronds all for juicing for a no waste solution. Tossing in some cucumber is good too. Wash your produce when you get home from shopping to be ready to juice.

      Hello, Thank you for the tips in regards fennel / celery juice . Is it anti-inflammatory juice?
      I`m having chronic inflammation within my body and hear fennel / celery might be helpful to flush it out. Is it possible to drink it anytime of the day on empty stomach as I do have other drinks and supplement in the morning to drink on empty stomach, so I was thinking if there is a possibility to drink this juice during the day on empty stomach before the food?
      Do you know how long and how often to drink it ? and If I need to juice all the amount of fennel and celery in one juice? I would use blender as I don`t have juicer.
      Thank you very much
      Best Regards
      Irena

        Hi Irena, thanks for your question. Here are my suggestions but remember to check with your health care provider as well. I am not a doctor. First, I highly recommend you get a juicer. There are good, low cost models today, like the Tribest Shine. A blender is not going to give you the extraction a juicer will. Phytochemicals extracted from fennel and celery have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Juices are a supplement to your regular diet, and never a replacement for vegetables, because the fiber is removed (and you need fiber). Drinking them on an empty stomach is a good rule, any time of day, whether morning or afternoon. I usually drink a 16-18 ounce juice in terms of volume. Celery juices have been much hyped, and while they are a powerful tool in your health quest, they are not a magic bullet. One more note, celery is naturally high in sodium, so if you are on a sodium restricted diet be sure to check with your health care provider about celery juice.

        Chronic inflammation needs to be addressed on many levels, both diet and lifestyle. It takes an overall plan of attack. For example, TRE (time restricted Eating) and following your circadian rhythm, getting good sleep is critical, reducing stress, getting movement in. We also use a tool called a Joovv for infrared and redlight therapy to reduce inflammation. Read about it at their website. I'm just finishing a book you might find very helpful. I will write about it in my free monthly newsletter for subscribers, but I will mention it for you. It's called the Circadian Code by Dr. Sachin Panda. Get a copy and read it or listen to it. I am listening to it and have paperback copy for reference on information. I hope this helps and good luck.
