It's not about the calories. It's not about the carbs. It's not about the fat. It's about the nutritional value. What micro-nutrients are in it? What minerals? What vitamins? Celery has Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and is a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate, Potassium and Manganese.
Almond butter (with nothing but organic almonds - no oils, sugars, preservatives, etc...) is incredibly high in protein, iron, Riboflavin, Magnesium and Manganese, and is a very good source of Vitamin E.
Together these two foods provide an incredible amount of vitamins, minerals, and other critical micro-nutrients, as well as calories, fat and protein.

Add the basil leaves and flaxseed, blend, and add water to reach desired consistancy. Finally add lemon. One lage squeeze of a sliced lemon should do the trick, but add until reached desired taste.
This will also give you the opportunity to taste your juice as you go along so that you can make any changes you would like.
