Ingredients
- Pineapple is rich in digestive enzymes like bromelain, which help break down protein and reduce bloating.
- Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants and fiber, which support fat metabolism and help control appetite.
- Celery is extremely low in calories and high in water content. It also contains compounds, making it a natural diuretic that helps lower blood pressure and flush out excess water weight.
- Plain, unsweetened coconut water replenishes electrolytes and keeps you hydrated, which is essential for a healthy metabolism and efficient fat burning.
- Hemp hearts (hemp seeds) provide plant-based protein and omega-3 fatty acids, helping you stay full and supporting muscle recovery.
- Lemon juice enhances detoxification, improves digestion, and gives your metabolism a gentle boost.
- Ice (if not using frozen fruit) adds volume and chill for a refreshing texture without extra calories.
The pineapple is a great source of vitamin C. Blueberries provide antioxidants and beneficial compounds like anthocyanin shown to lower inflammation and boost immunity. Celery and coconut water both have blood pressure-lowering benefits. Hemp hearts (seeds) add omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids to this health-promoting smoothie.
Pro Tips for Making the Perfect Smoothie
- Use frozen fruit to skip the need for ice and achieve a thicker, creamier consistency.
- Add leafy greens like spinach or romaine lettuce for an extra nutrient boost without changing the taste too much.
- Prep smoothie packs by storing pre-measured ingredients in the freezer, so all you have to do is blend and go!

Pro Tip for Meal Prep
We love to meal prep smoothies because, during the work week, it's so easy to dump the contents into a blender, add the coconut or tap (or filtered) water to the blender, and zap it.
Here are some tips for meal-prepping this smoothie: Chop the celery into smaller pieces and cut out a wedge of ¼ to ½ of a lemon. Put all ingredients into a freezer-safe bag and freeze (for up to 3 months). When you're ready to drink the smoothie, add the frozen contents to a high-powered blender, then pour in the coconut and tap/filtered water. Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds or until creamy. Enjoy! It will be a perfectly frosty smoothie to grab and head out the door.
