JUMP TO RECIPE
We’ve fully embraced smoothie season, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ve been sharing a lot of smoothie recipes on social media, hoping to get you all excited about them too. I was pleasantly surprised when this particular smoothie recipe became a big hit on Instagram, so I decided it deserved a special spot on the blog.
This smoothie is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with vitamins B and C, potassium, folate, magnesium, healthy fats, and plenty of gut-friendly fiber. Getting enough fiber is crucial for overall health, and this smoothie makes it a deliciously simple task!
Fiber has a number of important jobs in our bodies, such as:
SUPPORTING NUTRIENT PRODUCTION: Fiber nurtures the good bacteria that help produce water-soluble vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B6, B5, B7, B12, folate, and vitamin C, as well as fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These are absorbed in the colon, while nutrients from our diet are absorbed in the small intestine. Thank you, microbes and fiber!
DETOXIFICATION: Soluble fiber absorbs toxins and waste for removal, while insoluble fiber acts like a scrub, cleaning out waste that’s not beneficial to the body.
REDUCING CHOLESTEROL AND EXCESS HORMONES: The sponge-like properties of fiber also help eliminate extra cholesterol and hormones, like estrogen. Many women find relief from PMS or menopause symptoms when they increase fiber intake, which helps improve regularity and optimize hormones.
STABILIZING BLOOD SUGAR AND CONTROLLING CRAVINGS: Balanced blood sugar is key to feeling your best—consistent energy, a good mood, and fewer cravings come from eating plant-rich, fiber-filled meals!
Good news for parents: this smoothie is kid-approved too!
Here’s my recipe for the scrumptious Celery Blueberry Smoothie:
Serves 1-2
If you’re curious about the celery juice craze, I recommend trying this smoothie over celery juice any day—it tastes better and is more nutritious.
Enjoy!
I’m obsessed with this smoothie! So delicious!
That’s great to hear!
Thank you! This is a wonderful alternative to drinking celery juice every day!
Fantastic! I’m glad you like it!
How much protein is in this smoothie without collagen?
Not sure. You could add protein powder to increase the protein content, but it’s not designed to be a “protein smoothie” specifically.
