 Hey beauties, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I have a special guest, Jess! Hey guys! And today we're going to be talking about celery. Celery! Such a trendy thing. You guys have been watching me drink this like every day on Instagram wondering why. So we're going to answer all of your celery questions today, why you should try it, how it's benefited us and you know show you also how I make it. Now Jess also has her own YouTube channel. She tries a bunch of random stuff like anything that's kind of skeptical. She tries it out to make sure it's really legit. I love to debunk a lot of things, especially things that celebrities do. So that's actually how I heard about this whole celebrity or celebrity celery. Celery trend was all of these celebrities kept posting about it. And was Kim Kardashian behind one of the, she one of the celebrities that like really made it go off? Oh yeah, Kim, I mean obviously anything that Kardashians do touch, it goes viral. So I was like I need to give this thing a try and I actually first heard about it from the badical medium. Yes, he's like the founder of the whole celery shebang. And there's actually a lot of supposedly benefits. I'm going to read off the entire list because there's so many and then we'll go over what actually helped us personally. But some say it prevents cancer. That's a huge claim in itself. I'm not going to say like it's going to cure cancer but it could prevent it because when you're healthy, you know you're healthy. The lowest cholesterol lowers blood pressure, relieves constipation, balances your pH levels, fights inflammation, promotes hydration, promotes weight loss, treats insomnia, helps with brain fog, calms nerves, relieves mind grains. That's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot we've been apparently missing out on. Green head. Yeah, one vegetable. So how long have you done it? How long, you know, it's like a week, a month, a cleanse, how did you do it? All right, so I did it pretty much the entire month of January. And I loved how I felt doing it. But then the past few months, I've been traveling a lot. And so I have actually stopped my celery juice trend routine in the morning and I can't wait to get back on it because it just, it really, it made me feel alive. Like I loved it. I loved waking up and having my celery in the morning. I was supposed to give you energy and hydration. That was actually the biggest shock to me was I would have the celery juice in the morning and it was better than having a cup of coffee. Like I actually don't even drink coffee anymore because- But were you like a coffee addict at first and then you stopped or like- Well, no. So I stopped drinking coffee because for some reason coffee makes my skin break out. Yeah, I have very acne prone skin. So I cut out coffee and I just did matcha and just teas in general. But the celery, I would drink it and I would get this boost of energy and my energy would actually last all day long. So it's- Like crashing up for coffee. Right. And so that was the biggest shock to me was the energy boost. Yeah. And how it's supposed to be taken according to the medical medium is 16 ounces every day, first thing every morning on an empty stomach. Right. So what we both do is we make our celery juice, drink it before our workout that way we have energy for our workout, we're extra hydrated and then you kind of like start your day on a healthy cleanse. And you also lose a lot of hydration when you sleep at night. So you might wake up a little dehydrated. This will give you that, you know, hydration again aside from water and you're kind of good to go to start your day. If you don't do a full workout, you definitely want to wait about 20 minutes before you eat or drink anything. But another thing too was I actually did notice a difference in my skin. Yeah, that's for the reason why I even tried it because as you guys know, I have very acne prone skin as well. And people were swearing that their skin cleared because of this and I'm always down to try something that's going to clear my skin. So that's why I tried it as well. I would say if you are going to try it, definitely try it for at least seven days. I personally recommend trying it for a full month for the full effect. Let me tell you about my experience. I just found I've been doing it all wrong because a lot of you guys were asking me, how does it taste? How do you get over the taste of celery? I don't think it tastes good. When I first tried, I was like, oh, how am I going to do this every single day? And then I added lemon and I was like, oh, I fixed it. It's amazing. But tell them why that's a no-no. It's a no-no. You don't want to add anything. The minute you add anything, even lemon, which you think like water and lemon, that's good for you. The minute you add anything, it actually takes away the effect of the whole celery juice cleanse. So I don't know. Call me weird, but I actually like the taste of it. I mean- You get used to it. The more you do it, the more you get used to it. First day, second day, you might need to like hold your nose and drink it. But it does get better. So the juicer that I have is by Breville. And it works amazing. I don't have much to compare to. It's my first juicer. It was also a gift. But I do think that they range from at least like $150. But make sure you guys also subscribe to Jess's channel because right after this one, we're going to show you how to make it using a blender and a strainer. So more of like a DIY version. Right. The cheaper version. Yes, exactly. So we're going to show you two ways today. But let's start off with the juicer. Let's get our celery ready. So there's a couple of different components. So let me just take it apart so you can see all the different pieces. So it might look like a lot. Some people are like juicing is too hard because there's so many pieces and components and washing. Kind of, but you kind of get into a rhythm of it. So first you put in this little thing here that goes on top. Then you put in the actual like blade that's going to chop everything up. It'll snap in there. That's where all the pulp is going to go. Exactly. And then this little container here latches perfectly under there. But a little tip that I actually got from you guys on Instagram is actually get the bags that you buy the celery in. Use that to actually catch all the pulp. And that way it's one less thing to wash. Oh no. You haven't tried this before? No. There you go. Pro tip. You learn something new every day. And now I'm going to grab the top and it's just going to pop on there. Pull this up, snap it into place. Then this goes there. And then we're going to juice with this. There we go. That is how you put it together. It's like, you know, playing with Legos but adult version. When you want to start juicing you also want to make sure you really clean everything off. And you also got organic. Yeah. So organic is very important because this is a cleanse. It's a detox. So you don't want to be putting chemicals in your body when you're detoxing. So organic. And since celery is so trendy it's actually really hard to find sometimes the prices have gone up. Yeah. So how much was this? Do you remember? I think this was about four dollars. Wow. Okay. See where I went mine was like two but look how like mine's like a little baby version. So it does spend like I got mine Bristol farms but of course it's a lot of celery. This is way more than what I got. My pieces are really little. She has like nice big stocks. We're going to use just this celery. Yeah. So I'm going to rinse this off and come right back. Alrighty. So now our broccoli. Broccoli that's not what we're doing. Now our celery is clean but I did want to point out I did not include the little middle piece. This usually makes a little bit more bitter and I also like to cut off the leafy parts. You could but it also just messes with the taste that I personally didn't like. Yeah. You can do the whole thing but it just makes it extra bitter. But Sheriff you're cutting too. Yeah. So the first time I juiced ever I was on Instagram live you guys might remember comment below if you remember. I was peeling off one at a time and cutting it and someone's like just cut the whole thing. I was like oh that's how you know I don't cook zero cooking skills. So get your whole celery cut off all the butt all at once. Then rinse them off and then you'll be it's a lot faster. You can even do like the head too. True. All this at once. All that at once. All that at once. All you need is like this good middle stock right here. Yeah. Here we go. Push it down. Go ahead. Kind of does my own little bit. Usually one stock is good to go. Yeah we're now at 16 ounces. Should we do a little taste test? Taste test. Now I do want to say if you have never done a cleanse before I would recommend actually maybe starting with just eight because it does get things going in your stomach. You get a little rumbling. So to kind of ease your body into it you could start with eight and then work your way up. It is a cleanse so it does flush out your toxins. A lot of people ask me does it make your poop your fart or your burps smell. No it doesn't because it's mainly just water. So you don't need to worry about that. For me it didn't give me diarrhea and you'll probably have to go to the bathroom I would say about two hours after drinking it so it's not an immediate rush to the bathroom situation. But I also think it depends on how healthy you are so if you have a lot to flush out you might have more to flush out for the next person. Yeah everyone's body is different the more toxins you have the more rumbling that's going to go on. And I've also heard that even with dealing with acne you might have an initial breakout with it because it's kind of flushing your skin and getting everything out but then once everything's out then you're gonna have clear skin. Now I have some pineapple glasses. I am loving this idea. No clean up here. Just all these other pieces. Just throw this in the trash. And you really want to clean that blade part right there and the bravel comes with this little brush so you can really scrub in there. So the moment of truth. Some pretty darling. Yes. Now usually you have to drink this whole 16 ounces on your own. We're sharing today for the sake of the video. I'm obsessed with these glasses. All right here we go we have our paper straws you know. Save the turtles. Here we go. Cheers. Cheers I'm getting used to it. Yeah. It's not like oh my god so yummy. I actually really like it. Like I now I kind of crave it in the morning like I get excited to. I just start craving it every morning. I mean using the juicer is so fun. The blender is not as cool. But I actually really enjoy it. I also think it tastes better when it's cold. I was I was just gonna say that you want to keep your celery in the fridge and juice it immediately because when it's cold it helps a lot. Do you think it has a smell to it? It smells like celery. It tastes like celery. So like that's everything you guys need to know about celery juice. I definitely recommend that you're drinking vegetables. There's not going to be much of a downside to getting your greens every single morning and also being able to commit to something is always a good challenge for yourself. Whether it's celery juice or deep conditioning or not straightening your hair whatever it may be. So I would say stick to it give it a try for dealing with any of those symptoms that we mentioned earlier. But now we're going to try the DIY Harder Way on Jess's channel. I'll put a link in the description box. Come on over to see how we're going to make it with a blender and a strainer.
