Benefits Of This Weight Loss Celery Smoothie
This green celery smoothie is loaded, I mean loaded with benefits and fresh nutritious ingredients.
The benefits of this celery smoothie include:
- Nutrient-Rich: Provides a wide array of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, C, K, iron, and potassium, supporting overall health.
- High in Fiber: Chia seeds, spinach, and apples contribute significant dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness.
- Antioxidant Boost: Spinach, banana, and apple are loaded with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Heart Health: The omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds and the healthy fats in almond milk support cardiovascular health.
- Energy Sustaining: The natural sugars in bananas and apple, combined with the protein and healthy fats from chia seeds and almond milk, provide a steady energy release.
- Weight Loss: The combination of high fiber content and healthy fats helps regulate appetite and reduce cravings, making this smoothie a beneficial addition to a weight loss diet by promoting satiety and preventing overeating.
Celery smoothies are so good for you. In fact, much healthier than celery juice, because in smoothies, you use the whole stalk, not just the juice.
For that reason, you should also try my refreshing cucumber celery smoothie as well as my ginger celery smoothie.
Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes
If you love customizing your recipes once in a while, you will love these customization suggestions I have for you!
Oh, and they have all been tested by me, and are so delicious:
- Use Frozen Greens: Whether you have kale, or spinach in the freezer, use a frozen nest instead of fresh for a thicker cooler smoothie.
- No Banana Smoothie: Not a fan of bananas? Not a problem. Swap them for mango or pineapple!
- Swap The Apple: You can use cucumber instead of apple for a lower-sugar smoothie.
- Protein Boost: If you are not avoiding dairy, add 1/2 cup of yogurt or cottage cheese for a boost of protein without powders.

Recipe FAQs:
What Time Should I Drink This Smoothie?
While I have generally found a great success using smoothies as a meal replacement when I am trying to lose weight, I can understand it can be difficult for some people. Which is why I recommend that you combine this smoothie with a very light breakfast.
Can I Use Coconut Milk Instead Of Almond Milk?
Yes, absolutely, However, I recommend that you use coconut milk from a carton, rather than from a can. Coconut milk from a can is very heavy in fat and calories.
How Do I Store The Blended Smoothie?
Once blended, transfer the smoothie into an air-tight container or a portable smoothie bottle. Tightly close the lid, and refrigerate. Consume within 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
