Celery Detox Smoothie
Ingredients
Step by step process
Smoothie Preparation
- 1
Wash the celery stalks and chop them into smaller pieces.
TIP:Hold the stalk firmly and slice the celery across the fibers for uniform pieces. This technique also works for other vegetables in the kitchen.
- 2
Core the apples and peel if desired. Cut the apples and cucumber into cubes.
- 3
Wash the lemon, peel it, and squeeze the juice into a bowl.
- 4
Peel the ginger and grate it finely.
Blending
- 5
Place all prepared ingredients into a blender.
- 6
Add water, the lemon juice, and honey if desired to mellow the flavor.
TIP:Add lemon juice gradually and monitor the acidity. Tasting as you go will let you fine-tune the sweetness after the final tasting with honey or another sweetener.
- 7
Blend until completely smooth.
Serving
- 8
Pour the smoothie into 4 glasses.
- 9
Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately.
TIP:Gently rub the mint leaves between your palms just before serving to release the aroma of the essential oils. They can also be torn and sprinkled on top for a fresh aroma.
More tips:
For extra refreshment, add a few ice cubes while blending.
If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more water or use coconut water.
