What about celery?

[Carol K]

I don't see much mention about celery in smoothies. I understand that celery is high in potassium and very good for blood pressure. Can you add to smoothies? Today, I had apple, lemon, ginger, spinach and celery. Was that okay, or are there certain combinations that are not good?

I use celery a lot...in fact, it's one of my favorite blends...seems to go well with everything.

The combo you mentioned is one of my favorites.

It was so delish, it was light and smooth.

Celery is our all-time favourite for our soup "smoothies". I use a handful of cashews or sunflower seeds, 4 or 5 stalks of celery-chopped, a clove of garlic, a little bit of cayenne, a little bit of miso, juice of half a lemon or a whole if I am feeling like more sour taste that day, I usually add a tsp of tumeric, then fill up the blender to the 4 cup line with warm water. The blender turns this into a warm creamy soup which we just love. I actually crave this stuff.

I also put celery in my beet smoothie which is quite a bit like a borscht.

I love celery. It curbs my salt cravings because it naturally has a lot of sodium. I make smoothies with 1/2 head? (7 stalks) of celery and strawberries). Its so refreshing and good. Its so much better for me to make smoothies out of it because I have a hard time just chomping on celery sticks.

[Bethanie]

Please tell me is that all you add together?
Is it just the celery and strawberries?
I have that:D

Pretty much! Just celery and strawberries (and a little water) At least while strawberries are in season. :D I will try it with an apple later. For my smoothies, I like to keep it to 2-3 fruits and/or veggies (not including if I add ice, vanilla bean, dates, nut milk, etc).

[Bethanie]

I can't wait to make it.

yum celery! I am told it's like nature's Gatorade, chock full of electrolytes and a great drink for athletes and people who exercise.

Thanks to everyone! Great site for newbies that need help!

And everyone else, we should never get to the place where we should stop learning from others:)
We can never learn enough.
Now i love celery but before i could only think to eat it in a salad or by itself.

YUM, I think I'll try that strawberry and celery smoothie later tonight. Sounds delish!!!

I always use celery in smoothie combinations. My normal daily one contains lime and celery juice, bananas, spinach and avocado. It is very filling.

[RawVegan4Health]

I have used celery many times. One time I even used a whole celery as the primary green component. It was great!

Check out Gwena's journal blog. She has a video link on one of her blogs where she makes a smoothie - she's on a 100 day juice feast, and I think on the video (if I remember correctly) she starts out by juicing an entire bunch of celery! :D
