Key Ingredients for the Cucumber, Celery, and Apple Smoothie

Easy green smoothie ingredients- cucumbers, water, apple, and celery.

Granny smith apple: It’s tart, juicy, beautifully green. They have natural sugar which adds a touch of sweetness and masks the bitterness of the celery.

Celery stick: This nutritional powerhouse adds a tart flavor, water, and much fiber to the recipe.

English cucumber: They add a crisp and refreshing flavor. The high water content makes them great for hydration. 

Additionally, you’ll need water (or ice cubes) to blend.

​Expert Tips 

  • My biggest tip is to leave the skin on for all the ingredients because there are nutrients there too. 
  • Granny Smith apples have a sharp, tart flavor that is best for this smoothie. However, sweet and crisp apples like Fuji, Gala, and Honeycrisp would work well here too. 
  • For even more green goodness and a little different flavor, fresh spinach (or kale) is a great addition. You can also add protein powder if you choose to for a thicker smoothie.
  • For added health benefits, you can also add ginger, turmeric, parsley, or mint for their anti-inflammatory properties.
  • A great way to make the smoothie a little more fulfilling for the kids is to add in sliced banana or peanut butter and top with chia seeds or oats. 
  • Add a bit of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. 

​How to Store Leftover Green Smoothie 

  • Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. If you have leftovers, place in an airtight container or cover the glass with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. It will keep well for 1-2 days. 
  • When you’re ready to enjoy it again, add the smoothie and a little ice to a blender to create the smoothie texture again.
