Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Celery: 2–3 stalks, leaves included if they look fresh
  • Cucumber: 1/2 medium (English or Persian preferred for fewer seeds)
  • Banana: 1 small ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • Avocado: 1/4 to 1/2 ripe avocado
  • Spinach or Kale: 1 heaping cup (packed)
  • Fresh Ginger: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, peeled and grated
  • Lemon: Juice of 1/2 lemon (plus zest if you love citrus)
  • Liquid: 1 to 1 1/4 cups cold water, unsweetened coconut water, or unsweetened almond milk
  • Ice: A handful, if using fresh fruit
  • Optional Add-Ins: Fresh mint, parsley, chia seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseed, a pinch of sea salt, or a little honey/maple if you want extra sweetness

Method
 

  1. Prep your produce: Rinse celery and cucumber. Roughly chop into chunks. Peel the banana if fresh. Scoop your avocado. Rinse your greens and pat dry.
  2. Add liquids first: Pour your chosen liquid into the blender base. This helps the blades catch the ingredients smoothly.
  3. Layer the soft stuff: Add banana, avocado, and greens next. These help create a creamy base.
  4. Add the crisp veggies: Toss in celery and cucumber. Sprinkle in grated ginger and squeeze in lemon juice.
  5. Blend until silky: Start low, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds until the smoothie looks vibrant and smooth. Add ice if you used fresh fruit and want a colder, thicker drink.
  6. Taste and tweak: If it’s too tart, add a few pineapple chunks or a drizzle of honey. Too thick? Splash in more liquid. Too mild? Add another squeeze of lemon or a pinch of sea salt to wake up the flavors.
  7. Serve cold: Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with a celery leaf or a sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.
