At a glance
The best things to mix with celery juice are green apple, lemon, cucumber, and ginger. Start with 1 medium apple or 1/2 lemon per 4 stalks of celery. These add flavor without much sugar, and they keep the drink refreshing.
Key takeaways
Green apple, lemon, cucumber and ginger are the easiest add-ins for celery juice, and a 1-inch knob of ginger or 1 teaspoon of lemon per 8 oz is enough.
Celery juice has only about 2 to 3 g of sugar per 8 oz; the fruit you add is what raises the total, so keep it to one serving.
You can mix celery juice with other juices, but start with equal parts vegetable to fruit so the celery flavor survives.
If you limit potassium or take warfarin, ask your dietitian or pharmacist how a daily glass fits your plan before making it routine.

Celery juice on its own is salty, a little bitter, and easy to get tired of. Adding one or two ingredients changes the taste enough that you will actually finish the glass. The trick is choosing mix-ins that do not turn a low-sugar vegetable juice into a fruit punch.

You can mix celery juice with almost any fruit or vegetable. The best options add sweetness, acidity, or a little heat while keeping the sugar load reasonable. Below are the combinations worth trying, plus a few ready-made celery juices if you do not want to juice at home.

What To Mix With Celery Juice: 12 Delicious & Nutritious Combos

good stuff to add to my celery juice: What To Mix With Celery Juice: 12 Delicious & Nutritious Combos

Green apple is the safest first add-in, and it fixes the two things most people dislike about celery juice: the grassy edge and the thin, watery body. Lemon or lime cuts the vegetal note with a squeeze of about 1 teaspoon per 8 oz glass. Cucumber softens the whole drink, and a 1-inch knob of ginger adds heat without sugar. Use one fruit to one or two vegetables as your starting ratio, then adjust from there.

Apple is the most common answer to “what can I mix with celery juice,” and it’s the easiest to get right. A green apple such as Granny Smith brings tartness and about 10 g of sugar per fruit, less than a sweet red variety. Sweet apples like Fuji or Gala push the sugar up and mute the celery flavor, so taste as you go. One medium apple to 8 oz of celery juice is a good starting point.

Flavor roleMix-in and ratio per 4 celery stalksWhy it works
Sweet1 medium green appleAdds natural sweetness and rounds out the grassy notes; about 19 g sugar per apple.
Sweet1/2 cup pineapple chunksTropical sweetness; roughly 11 g sugar per half cup, so use sparingly.
Sweet1 small pearMilder than apple, with a soft floral note; about 17 g sugar per pear.
Tart1/2 lemon, peeledBrightens the juice and cuts the celery’s earthiness; only about 1 g sugar.
Tart1/2 lime, peeledSharper than lemon, ideal if you like a citrus bite; under 1 g sugar.
Tart1/2 cup fresh cranberriesVery tart and low in sugar; pair with green apple for balance.
Spicy1-inch piece of fresh gingerAdds warmth and a peppery kick; great for cold season.
Spicy1/4 small jalapeño, seeds removedA savory heat that plays well with celery; start small.
Spicy3–4 fresh mint leavesCooling spice that freshens the finish without heat.
Hydrating1/2 cucumberBoosts volume and mildness; nearly zero sugar and high water content.
Hydrating1 cup chopped romaine lettuceAdds a gentle green flavor and extra chlorophyll; minimal sugar.
Hydrating1/2 cup coconut waterAdds natural electrolytes and a light sweetness; about 6 g sugar.
12 celery juice combos sorted by flavor role, with sugar per serving for the fruit options.

Cucumber is mostly water, so it stretches a batch and softens the strong celery taste at the same time. Carrot brings sweetness and body, and it pairs well with celery and a little ginger. For a greener drink, a handful of spinach per 16 oz adds mild flavor and some folate. If you want to go sweeter, see the best fruits to mix with celery juice before you add more apple.

Best first combo
Pineapple and watermelon both make celery juice taste lighter and more summery. Pineapple adds tartness and about 16 g of sugar per cup of chunks, so treat it as a fruit serving, not a free flavor boost. Watermelon is mostly water and blends into a thin, mild drink. If you’re watching blood sugar, measure the fruit instead of pouring by eye.

Check the Sugar Before You Add Fruit

Celery juice itself has almost no sugar: roughly 2 to 3 g per 8 oz glass, depending on how much you juice. The sugar arrives with whatever you add. One medium green apple adds about 10 g, a cup of pineapple chunks about 16 g, and a cup of orange juice about 21 g. Keep the whole drink under about 25 g of added sugar a day, and remember that fruit sugar counts toward your daily total even when it isn’t “added.”

Sugar per serving for common celery juice mix-ins. Total sugar matters more than the type of fruit.

If you have diabetes or prediabetes, juice is a faster sugar hit than whole fruit because the fiber is gone. Pair the glass with a meal or a source of protein, and keep fruit to one serving per drink. A green apple plus lemon in 8 oz of celery juice is a gentler choice than pineapple or a banana. Check your blood glucose about two hours after a new combination to see how your body responds.

If you want sweetness without much sugar, lean on cucumber, lemon, and ginger. They add flavor and body while keeping the glass under 5 g of sugar total. A juice with apple, celery, and cucumber is a good middle path: half an apple, four celery stalks, and half a cucumber lands around 10 g of sugar and still tastes sweet.

Keep it under 15 g
Use no more than half a sweet fruit (apple, pear, pineapple) per 8 oz glass, or stick to low-sugar mix-ins like cucumber, lemon, and ginger. Your total should stay under 15 g of sugar per serving.

How to Make Celery Juice Taste Good Without a Juicer

You don’t need a juicer to make celery juice taste good. A blender plus a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag gets you a drinkable glass in about 10 minutes. Blend celery with a splash of water until smooth, then strain and press the pulp. If you plan to blend often, a machine with enough power to break down fibrous stalks makes the job easier; our guide to the best blender for celery juice covers what to look for.

1
Chop and blend
Cut 4 celery stalks into 1-inch pieces and drop them into the blender with 1/2 cup of cold water. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until the mixture is as smooth as your blender can make it.
2
Strain the pulp
Pour the blended celery through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl. Squeeze or press gently to separate the liquid from the fibrous pulp. Compost the pulp or stir a spoonful back in for extra fiber.
3
Add mix-ins and serve
Stir in 1/2 cup of watermelon chunks, 1/4 cucumber, or 4 to 5 fresh mint leaves. Serve over ice right away, or refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours.
Low-powered blenders
If your blender struggles with fibrous celery, chop the stalks smaller and add an extra 1/4 cup of water. A high-speed blender turns the celery smoother, but any blender works if you strain well.
In short
Blending celery with water and straining it gives you a juice-like drink with more fiber. Watermelon, cucumber, and mint blend in easily and keep the flavor light.
Worked example
Say you want a greener, less bitter glass without a juicer. You blend 4 oz celery juice, 2 oz cucumber juice, 1 oz lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. That’s about 7 oz total, with roughly 3 g of sugar from the vegetables and lemon. Add 4 oz water if it’s too strong.

Mixing Celery Juice With Other Juices

Yes, you can mix celery juice with other juices. The combination people ask about most is apple, celery and cucumber, which is mild and slightly sweet. Carrot, celery and beet makes a sweeter, earthier drink, and a small beet adds about 6 g of sugar per 2-inch piece. Pineapple, celery and carrot is another common trio. Start with equal parts vegetable juice to fruit juice so the celery doesn’t disappear.

  • Celery-apple: 4 oz celery juice + 2 oz green apple juice (about 8 g sugar).
  • Celery-carrot: 4 oz celery juice + 2 oz carrot juice (about 4 g sugar).
  • Celery-cucumber: 4 oz celery juice + 2 oz cucumber juice (under 2 g sugar).
  • Celery-ginger: 4 oz celery juice + 1/2 tsp fresh ginger juice or 1 thin slice of ginger, blended in.
Ready-made celery juices
Many bottled celery juices already contain lemon juice. Check the label before adding more citrus, or the drink may turn too tart.
In short
Celery juice blends well with apple, carrot, cucumber, and ginger. Keep the ratio at 2 parts celery to 1 part other juice to limit added sugar.

Who Should Be Careful With Celery Juice

Celery juice is high in potassium, and that matters if your kidneys filter less than they should. One 8 oz glass has roughly 250 to 300 mg of potassium, and adding fruit or a banana pushes it higher. If you’ve been told to limit potassium, ask your dietitian how a glass fits your daily allowance before making it a habit.

Celery is a known trigger for some people with reflux or a sensitive stomach, and juicing concentrates it. If a glass gives you heartburn or bloating, try a smaller amount, dilute it with water, or switch to cucumber. Anyone on a blood thinner such as warfarin should keep vitamin K intake steady rather than swinging up and down, so a daily glass is easier to manage than an occasional large one.

Warfarin and vitamin K
Raw juice is not the place for shortcuts on food safety. Unpasteurized juice isn’t advised in pregnancy, for young children, for older adults or for anyone with a weakened immune system. Drink fresh juice within 24 hours and keep it refrigerated. If you’re pregnant and want a green drink, choose a pasteurized option or a smoothie made with washed produce.

Celery also contains natural sodium: about 80 mg per cup of juice. That’s not much for most people, but it adds up if you’re on a low-sodium diet for high blood pressure or kidney disease. Count it toward your daily limit.

Unpasteurized celery juice can carry harmful bacteria. Skip it if you’re pregnant, under 5, over 65, or have a weakened immune system. Choose pasteurized bottles or make juice at home and drink it right away.

Adding supplements like spirulina or garlic to celery juice can interact with medications. Spirulina may affect immune-suppressing drugs, and garlic can increase bleeding risk with blood thinners. Rose hip powder is high in vitamin C and generally safe, but check with a pharmacist if you take any daily medicine.

When to call your doctor
Stop drinking celery juice and call your doctor or pharmacist if you notice:
Unusual bruising or bleeding, especially on warfarin
Swelling in your hands, feet, or face
Stomach pain, vomiting, or diarrhea after drinking it
Signs of an allergic reaction like itching, hives, or trouble breathing

What to Do Next With Your Celery Juice

Start with one combination this week: 8 oz celery juice, half a green apple and a squeeze of lemon. Taste it, then adjust the fruit up or down. If you want a thicker drink, blend instead of juice and keep the fiber. For more fruit ideas, our list of fruits that work well with celery juice is a good next stop.

If you want it sweeter, add a small amount of pineapple or carrot. A 2 oz chunk of pineapple or one small carrot is enough. For more greens, toss in a handful of spinach or half a cucumber.

If you buy ready-made, choose cold-pressed celery juice with no added sugar. Check the label: ingredients should list celery and maybe lemon or apple, not syrups or concentrates.

Your next steps
Try celery + green apple + lemon first
Add pineapple or carrot only if you want more sweetness
Add spinach or cucumber for extra greens
Buy cold-pressed with no added sugar, or juice at home
In short
Start with celery, green apple, and lemon. Adjust sweetness with pineapple or carrot, and choose cold-pressed juice with no added sugar. If you’re on warfarin or a low-sodium diet, keep your intake steady and talk to your pharmacist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mix celery juice with other juices?
Yes, celery juice blends well with apple, carrot, cucumber, and ginger juices. A 50/50 mix keeps the celery flavor present while the second juice rounds it out, and it’s a good way to use up leftover juice.
What apples would be good with celery?
Green apples like Granny Smith work best because their tartness balances celery’s earthiness without adding too much sweetness. Honeycrisp or Fuji are fine too, but expect a sweeter glass and more sugar per serving.
Can you blend celery juice?
Yes, blending works if you don’t have a juicer. Chop 4 stalks, blend with 1/2 cup water, then strain through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve; the result is thinner than pressed juice but still refreshing.
Can I add spirulina to carrot celery beet juice?
You can, but start with 1/4 teaspoon because spirulina has a strong seaweed flavor that can overpower the vegetables. Mix it into the juice right before drinking so it doesn’t settle at the bottom.
Is carrots, celery and pineapple good to juice together?
Yes, that combination is sweet, tangy, and naturally hydrating. Use about 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks per 4 celery stalks and 2 carrots, and keep in mind that pineapple raises the sugar content more than green apple or lemon.
