Seven days, one blender, and a whole lot of bitter green juice — no juicer required.

By early 2019, celery juice had become the wellness world’s most polarizing morning ritual, with “Medical Medium” Anthony William’s followers swearing a daily glass of it on an empty stomach could fix everything from bloating to skin flare-ups. YouTuber More Salt Please decided to test the trend the way most viewers actually would try it — without dropping hundreds of dollars on a juicer. The video, “I Drank Celery Juice For 7 DAYS and This is What Happened – NO JUICER REQUIRED!”, documents a week of blending, straining, and drinking straight celery juice first thing every morning.

• The creator used a standard blender and strained the pulp through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag, skipping the juicer the protocol usually calls for.
• Day 1 brought a bitter, salty taste that was hard to swallow at first, along with an immediate sense of hydration and less morning bloat.
• By Days 2 and 3, the creator reported sustained morning alertness without coffee, lighter digestion, and early signs of clearer skin — while flagging the obvious placebo caveat.

The Blender Workaround

The standard celery juice protocol, as widely reported by outlets like The Guardian during the fad’s early-2019 peak, calls for pure, strained celery juice consumed first thing in the morning, before food or coffee. Most guides assume a dedicated juicer, which pushed a lot of would-be participants away simply because of the cost and cleanup. More Salt Please’s fix was blunt and practical: puree whole celery stalks in a regular blender, then push the pulp through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag until only the strained liquid is left.

It’s a small hack, but it’s the whole reason the video traveled — it turned a trend gatekept by a $200 appliance into something anyone with a blender and a bag of celery could try that same morning.

The First Three Days

Day 1 didn’t go down easy. The juice was bitter and heavily salted-tasting straight out of the strainer, and the creator admitted it took real effort to get the glass down. But the payoff came fast — a noticeable hydration boost and a quick easing of the morning bloat that had been the whole point of trying the challenge in the first place.

Day 2 brought the first sign the habit might be worth keeping: sustained energy through the morning without reaching for coffee, something the creator was careful to attribute possibly to placebo rather than the vegetable itself. Day 3 pushed further, with reports of lighter digestion and the beginnings of clearer skin. Readers chasing the same energy shift without the caffeine crash might find useful context in Why I’ll NEVER Drink Caffeine Again After Learning This.

The bitterness didn’t disappear — the tolerance for it did.

The Benefits and Limitations of Juicing

Straining out the pulp is the step that makes celery juice easy to drink, but it’s also the step that quietly guts the vegetable’s biggest nutritional selling point: fiber. What’s left is a sodium-heavy, fast-digesting liquid that hits the gut hard and fast — which explains the near-instant bloating relief and the digestive stimulation reported through the week, even without any of the “detox” mechanism the trend’s biggest advocates claim. That gap between the marketing and the mechanism is exactly what mainstream coverage of the fad, including The Guardian’s February 2019 look at the craze, kept coming back to.

The Back Half of the Week

Day 4 brought a setback — bloating returned and the scale ticked up slightly, which the creator chalked up to hormonal fluctuation or unrelated lifestyle factors rather than the juice itself. Day 5 reversed it just as quickly, with water retention easing and digestion evening out again. By Day 6, energy levels were high enough that caffeine wasn’t missed at all, and the creator described a clearer, more focused head space. Day 7 closed the challenge on an upswing — better skin tone and, notably, an actual liking for the taste that had been so hard to choke down on Day 1.

Whether the week’s changes came from the celery itself, the sodium, the placebo effect of a structured morning ritual, or simply cutting out whatever used to fill that slot, the practical takeaway from the video is the one thing most celery juice content skips: you don’t need the juicer to find out. A blender, a nut milk bag, and seven mornings is the whole barrier to entry.
