Persimmon & Celery Juice

By now, you know where you stand, with the scale that is. The holiday pounds have made their way into tighter pants and the numbers have (drum roll please) made their final showing. What's a food lover to do come January but naturally lighten things up to make up for past injustices in the form of creamy desserts, rich and fatty meats and carb-o-licious side dishes. It's the holidays, indulgences are part of the merriment, right? But it's not a time to feel bad about yourself, just a time to re-balance and lighten things up a bit. This is a refreshing juice that's flavorful and gentle enough to make up for all the hard hits your body took, in forms of cream puffs, cheese spreads and other delicious foods. Can you tell I'm having a hard time letting go of all of the "merriment?" Just a little bit, lol. I think it's time to drink my juice! ;)





  • 2 persimmons
  • 4 celery stalks
  • 3 clementines, juiced
  • 1 cup chamomile tea, cooled
  • handful of cilantro
  • pinch of ground ginger


Juice the persimmons and celery. Combine with the tea and clementine juice. Give it a good stir with the ginger. (If you want it sweeter, add a little agave syrup.) Enjoy. Serves 1.
