Pear Celery Lemon Juice Recipe is my go-to when I need something crisp, light, and mood-lifting that uses simple produce in the fridge. If you have ever stared at your blender wondering if you should juice or blend, this quick sip is a great place to start, and you can compare the two in this handy guide on juicing vs blending. I love this combo for its clean flavor, good-for-you nutrients, and the way it wakes up my senses without caffeine. It is fast to make, gentle on the stomach, and bright enough to feel like sunshine in a glass. You do not need fancy gear or a big budget. Just a few fresh ingredients, five minutes, and a craving for something bright and green. 
What you’ll need to make this juice
Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears, chopped and cored. I like Bartlett for their sweetness.
- 3 large celery stalks, chopped.
- 1 medium lemon, peeled and seeded.
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger, optional, about 1 inch, peeled.
- 1 cup cold water, more as needed for blending.
- Ice cubes to serve, optional.
Equipment
- Juicer or high-speed blender.
- Fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag if using a blender.
- Cutting board and knife.
- Serving glass and a straw if you are feeling fancy.
Simple steps
If you have a juicer, run the pears, celery, lemon, and ginger through it, then stir the juice and pour over ice. If you are using a blender, add pears, celery, lemon, ginger, and water. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl, pressing out as much liquid as you can. Taste and adjust with a splash more water if you prefer it lighter or add a squeeze of lemon for extra zing.
That is it. The Pear Celery Lemon Juice Recipe is wonderfully straightforward. If you are in the mood for more light and fruity sips, you might also enjoy this refreshing pineapple cucumber juice for another crisp, hydrating option.
Pro tip: chill your pears and celery first. Starting cold keeps the flavor bright and the color lively.
Health Benefits of This Fresh Celery Pear Ginger Juice
Think of this juice as a simple way to help your body feel a little lighter and more hydrated. Celery is mostly water, so it helps you rehydrate after a workout or long day. Pears bring gentle sweetness plus a nice dose of fiber when blended, and even when strained, you still get a soothing, easy-to-digest drink. Lemon adds a pop of vitamin C and that tangy lift that can refresh your palate. Ginger, if you add it, gives a warming note that many people find helpful for digestion and comfort.
I like this combo on mornings when coffee feels harsh. It is easy on the stomach yet still wakes me up. For those who want a deeper dive into soothing ingredients, check out this helpful read on anti-inflammatory detox juice and how certain produce choices support your everyday routine.
“I made this before a busy shift and felt so refreshed. The flavor is clean, a little sweet, and not heavy at all. It is now my favorite pre-work sip.”
Keep in mind, juice is not a cure-all. It is one supportive piece of a balanced diet and lifestyle. Still, as a daily or every-few-days ritual, it is a tasty way to hydrate, get some plant goodness, and reset your taste buds.
Recipe Variations
One of the best things about the Pear Celery Lemon Juice Recipe is how easy it is to tweak. You can keep it simple, or riff based on what you have.
Go gingery. If you love a little heat, add extra ginger. It turns the drink into a gentle wake-up call. If that is your vibe, you might also enjoy this zesty carrot ginger juice.
Make it minty. A small handful of fresh mint leaves adds a cooling note. It is lovely on warm afternoons and makes the juice taste even cleaner.
Boost with cucumber. Swap one celery stalk for half a cucumber for a softer, spa-like flavor. It thins the sweetness a touch and makes the drink extra hydrating.
Go green. Add a few spinach leaves before blending. The flavor stays mild, and you get that emerald hue that looks like pure wellness in a glass.
Power-up for energy. A small chunk of raw beet blends well here and gives your juice a rosy blush. For a full-on energizing option, try this bright beet juice recipe for energy.
Gentle gut option. If your stomach is feeling sensitive, skip the ginger and add a bit more water. Keeping it simple helps.
Lightly sweet or tart. Pears can vary. If yours are under-ripe, add a small drizzle of honey or an extra half pear. If they are super sweet, add an extra squeeze of lemon to balance.
And remember, you can always lean into your preferences. The Pear Celery Lemon Juice Recipe is a flexible base that welcomes small changes without losing its fresh character.
Tips for Best Results
- Use ripe pears for the best flavor. They should feel slightly soft near the stem and smell sweet.
- Peel the lemon fully to avoid bitterness from the pith.
- Chill your ingredients ahead of time for a brisk, refreshing finish.
- If blending, do a slow strain. Press gently to keep the juice clear, not pulpy.
- Taste, then tweak. Add water for lighter flavor or lemon for more brightness.
- Drink soon after making to enjoy that lively color and zing.
- Serve over a few ice cubes if you like it extra cold.

Storage Guidelines
Fresh juice is always best right away, but I get it, life is busy. Store your juice in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The flavor is still good on day two, but it will not be quite as bright. If you know you will make it ahead, squeeze a little extra lemon in there to help maintain color.
Separation is normal. Just give it a quick shake before pouring. If you see any odd fizzing or the smell is off, toss it and make a fresh batch. For freezing, I like to pour into ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag. Thaw a few cubes in a glass in the fridge and top with cold water for a fast chilled drink. It is not identical to fresh, but it is handy when you need a quick sip.
I also keep a small jar of this in the fridge to splash into water with ice for a flavored “spa water” moment. It makes hydration feel like a treat.
Common Questions
Can I make this without a juicer?
Yes. A blender works great. Blend with water, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
What pears work best?
Bartlett and Anjou are my favorites for this juice. They are sweet, blend well, and keep the flavor balanced.
Is ginger required?
No. Ginger adds warmth and a little kick, but the base is lovely without it. If your stomach is sensitive, skip it.
Can I use lime instead of lemon?
Yes, lime is a fun twist. It brings a bright, slightly floral tang. Start with half a lime and add more to taste.
How can I make it less sweet?
Use one and a half pears instead of two, add more celery, or squeeze in extra lemon. A splash of cold water also lightens sweetness.
Let’s wrap up with a happy sip
There is a reason I keep coming back to this Pear Celery Lemon Juice Recipe. It is quick, clean-tasting, and easy to customize, whether you love it gingery, minty, or extra lemony. If you want to compare this juice to a blended version, do a fun taste test after a read through the guide on juicing vs blending. And for another fresh spin on similar flavors, this plant-forward take on Celery Pear Ginger Juice offers a nice reference point for taste and method.
Grab a couple ripe pears, a few crisp celery sticks, and a bright lemon, and you can be sipping in minutes. I hope this becomes your little ritual too. Cheers to simple, feel-good sips you can make any day.
