Health Benefits
- Celery is rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and antioxidants. It has been shown to support healthy blood pressure and have anti-inflammatory properties.
- Keeping the skin on the cucumber boosts your intake of fiber and vitamin C, and provides antioxidant benefits. Cucumber may also aid in weight loss.
- Promotes digestion with fiber-rich whole food ingredients.
- Supports heart health and blood pressure due to potassium-rich foods like banana and coconut water.
- Naturally rich in electrolytes, coconut water supports hydration.
Key Ingredients
- Celery has a high water content, making it super hydrating.
- Cucumber adds extra hydration and a cooling effect. They enhance the flavor profile without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Banana adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the smoothie. Okay to swap in a green apple for a less-creamy smoothie.
- Coconut Water offers a hint of sweetness while keeping the smoothie light and refreshing.

Celery Smoothie vs. Celery Juice
While celery juice is popular, smoothies retain the fiber, making them more filling and better for blood sugar stability. Plus, smoothies offer more variety when you include fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables, and nutrient-dense add-ins. If you are curious about juicing celery, be sure to check out our celery apple parsley ginger juice, celery pear ginger juice, and super green juice.
