Ingredients

Ingredients used to make a celery smoothie: celery, apple, kale, spinach, banana, milk.
  • Apple: Adding a green apple to the smoothie adds a nice, sharp and tart flavor to help mask the bitter of the celery.
  • Banana: For flavor and texture.
  • Honey: Adding a touch of honey brings out the sweetness in the apple and banana.
  • Almond Milk: While you can use water instead, I like using almond milk for a little extra flavor.
  • Ginger: Ginger adds a nice flavor to this smoothie, pairing well with the greens and the fruit. It also provides additional health benefits.

Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Expert Tips

Ginger: If you like a strong ginger taste, do 2 tsp of fresh ginger; 1 tsp for mild ginger and 1 1/2 tsp for a happy medium. When using fresh ginger, be sure to peel off the outer skin. Use the edge of a spoon (like you would a peeler) to more easily peel the ginger.

For easier blending, add the liquid (almond milk, or water) to the blender first. Then continue with the remaining ingredients. 

Add protein to the smoothie by including a bit of vanilla-flavored protein powder or plain Greek yogurt. This will adjust the flavor, so add to taste and have extra of the called-for ingredients in case you need to add a little bit more of this or that to balance things out.

Add chia seeds for additional fiber and antioxidants.

Storing: Store any leftovers in a tight sealed container, such as a glass jar with a lid. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 days. Add the smoothie and a little ice to a blender to create the smoothie texture again.

Freshly juiced and blended vegetables are best enjoyed soon after they are made.
