Green detox smoothie
The smoothie combines juicy green apple, stalk celery, and tender spinach, giving a feeling of light freshness without excessive sweetness. It's the perfect drink to start the day when you want your morning breakfast to be not only tasty but also healthy. Yoga tea paste Ekolya adds a spicy tea accent and makes the drink more rich in taste and aroma. It's easy to feel like a real gourmet when such a drink is served in your own kitchen. The recipe is simple and fast, yet looks like a professional detox cocktail from a health food café. Just a few minutes, and you have a glass of vitamin energy in your hands.
Variations
- Part of the water can be replaced with chilled green tea to enhance the tonic effect
- Add half a ripe banana or kiwi if you want a softer and sweeter taste
- For a creamier texture, replace part of the water with low-fat yogurt or a plant-based drink tailored to your diet
Secrets of tenderness and taste
- Cut the celery and apples into smaller pieces for the smoothie to be whipped faster and more evenly to a uniform texture
- First, blend the greens with water, then add the other ingredients, which makes the structure more tender
- If the blender is not very powerful, blend the smoothie longer at medium speed, gradually increasing it to the maximum
Ingredient tips
- Choose crispy stalk celery without wilt and dark spots; it gives a pleasant fresh bitterness
- Sour-sweet green apples of the Granny Smith variety or similar create a balance between freshness and natural sweetness
- Use fresh spinach with bright leaves, and squeeze lemon juice directly before preparation
Small culinary nuances
- Taste after the first blending and adjust the amount of lemon juice and sweetener to your taste
- If you want a more liquid drink to sip through a straw, add a little more water and briefly blend again
- Serve the smoothie immediately after preparation to preserve maximum vitamins and bright green color
