Apple Celery Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
This celery smoothie recipe has a different flare to it. I'm kind of known for making hardcore smoothies, yet I promise this has a refreshing flavor! If you like black licorice (which I do), then this recipe is a big win for you.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- 1 cup water
- ¼ fennel bulb cored and roughly chopped*
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 green apple cored
- 1 tsp ginger root peeled
- 1 lemon peeled
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend spinach, water and lemon together until juice-like consistency is reached.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Notes
- Only use the white part of the fennel bulb. The green stalk and sprigs may be used as a garnish.
- Keep as much white pith on the lemon as you can for more nutrients.
- Use at least one frozen ingredient for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
- Swap the spinach for the leafy greens of your choice.
- Swap the water with one cup of unsweetened coconut water for a natural electrolyte boost.
- Add one serving of homemade protein powder to provide ten more grams of protein, turning this smoothie into a meal replacement.
