Healthy Celery fruit Drink

Healthy Celery - fruit Drink







Ingredients:
( to make 2 glasses of drink )

Celery Stalks  -  2 or 3
Strawberry  - 8 to 10
or mandarin oranges / peaches / watermelon / pear
Salt  - a pinch

Steps:
Snap off required stalks from the bunch.
Trim at the base and remove the strings and leaves of the Celery.
Wash the celery sticks well as the base has roots and may be muddy sometimes.
Choose a fruit of your choice. Can be a combination of two fruits.
Dice the fruits and the celery sticks.
Blend celery and the fruit with a pinch of salt into a smoothie.
Chill and enjoy your healthy drink.















My Notes:

I use a blender to prepare the drink rather than a juicer to extract. Mine will be more like a smoothie.

Bare with its distinct pungent taste to get your daily dose of fiber and a whole lot of benefits. Actually its leaves have the strong flavour than the stalk. The Indian coriander leaves are milder and we are used to its taste. likewise you will get accustomed to its taste.

Celery increases bile acid secretion which flushes out cholesterol from body.
It reduces LDL cholesterol to great extent.
But the best I read about it is that it reduces stress hormone and cure insomnia.

Celery sticks are crunchy to eat. Try with a dip like peanut butter  but if you are calories conscious  go for yogurt dip. Can try with any salad dressing.

It can be changed to a tasty drink by adding the right fruits

Though not their preferred choice of drink, my husband prefers it with fragrant pear while my son prefers to have with watermelon. They drink  considering its goodness and my effort ;)

DIY to find out your favourite ;))
