Kickstart your metabolism and support your weight loss journey with the Celery and Pineapple Detox Smoothie – a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink designed to hydrate, cleanse and energize your body. Made with naturally detoxifying ingredients like grapefruit, pineapple, celery, lemon, parsley, mint and green tea, this smoothie delivers a powerful combination of fiber, antioxidants and metabolism – boosting compounds.

The celery blends perfectly with other ingredients which makes this detox smoothie so versatile. As long as you keep the two main components – pineapple and celery, you can add and omit fruits and vegetables without sacrificing too much flavour. For example, if you don’t like grapefruits, use oranges instead. You can also add berries, like blueberries or strawberries for more flavour.

Ingredients:

• 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
• 1/2 fresh pineapple
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 bunch chopped fresh parsley
• 6 – 7 fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup cooled brewed green tea

Instructions:

Brew a cup of green tea and let it cool.

Wash the celery, parsley and mint. Peel the grapefruit and pineapple.

You can use the lemon in two different ways. It can be juiced with the lemon squeezer, which is a faster way, or (this is my preferred way) you can peel it and add the whole lemon to the blender. Adding peeled lemon can enhance the flavour and can also provide additional nutritional benefits that are lost during the juicing process.

Add all ingredients, including cooled green tea into a blender.

Blend on high until smooth and frothy.

Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately to benefit from its full detox potential. Enjoy it.

• Pineapple: Packed with bromelain, a digestive enzyme, pineapple supports digestion and reduces bloating, while offering natural sweetness without refined sugar.
