Green Weight Loss Smoothie
This refreshing green weight loss smoothie is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie drink designed to support digestion, hydration, and healthy weight management. Made with fresh vegetables and fruit, it is naturally detoxifying and perfect for starting your day or enjoying as a light meal replacement.
Ingredients
-
1 small bunch of fresh celery (washed and trimmed)
-
1 medium cucumber (peeled if desired)
-
1 large green apple (cored, skin on)
-
Juice of ½ fresh lemon
-
A few small pieces of fresh ginger (about ½ inch)
-
1 cup cold water or coconut water (adjust as needed)
-
Optional: a few ice cubes for extra freshness
Preparation Method
Begin by thoroughly washing all fruits and vegetables to remove any dirt or residue. Chop the celery into small pieces so it blends smoothly. Slice the cucumber and green apple into chunks. Peel the ginger lightly and cut it into small pieces to prevent overpowering the flavor.
Add the celery, cucumber, green apple, ginger, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender. Pour in cold water or coconut water to help blend the ingredients evenly. Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until the smoothie becomes creamy and smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more water and blend again.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately for maximum freshness and nutritional value.
Health Benefits
This smoothie is packed with fiber, which helps keep you full for longer and reduces unnecessary snacking. Celery and cucumber are extremely low in calories and high in water content, supporting hydration and bloating reduction. Green apple adds natural sweetness along with vitamins and antioxidants. Lemon juice boosts metabolism and aids digestion, while ginger helps improve gut health and reduces inflammation.
When to Drink
For best results, drink this smoothie in the morning on an empty stomach or as a light lunch. It can also be enjoyed after exercise to refresh and rehydrate the body.
