Is every type of juice allowed in the keto diet?
No, the juice we drink outside in restaurants/shops may include lots of sugar. Some of the fruits contain lots of sugar. Thus, we always recommend homemade versions of keto juices. We always made the juice at home by balancing the nutrients (beneficial). So, that we keep the carb count lower.

Is a food processor necessary while making celery juice?
Yes. It is not quite a big issue if you don’t own the juicer. Use a food processor/full-speed blender to blend the items. If you love to drink the juice along with pulp, then it will be great.
