A celery banana smoothie blends raw celery, banana and water into one serving in 5 minutes. Customize the recipe with the ai detox recipe generator.

This simple take on a celery detox smoothie balances celery’s fresh flavor with ripe banana. Because the ingredients are blended rather than strained, their fiber stays in the drink.

What ingredients do you need?

For one serving, gather:

• 100 g raw celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 100 g peeled ripe banana, sliced (about 2/3 cup)
• 240 mL cold water (1 cup)

A ripe banana gives the smoothie a sweeter flavor and a creamy texture without added sweetener. Chop the celery into small pieces so it blends more evenly, particularly if your blender struggles with fibrous ingredients.

The cup measures are approximate: the weight of chopped celery and sliced banana can change depending on how the pieces are packed. Use the gram amounts if you want your serving to be closest to the nutrition estimate below.

How do you make a celery banana smoothie?

1. Rinse the celery under running water and trim the ends.
2. Chop the celery into small pieces.
3. Peel and slice the banana.
4. Add the water, celery and banana to a blender, then blend until as smooth as you like.
5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

If the mixture is too thick, blend in a splash of water. For a colder drink, chill the water before making it or add ice after blending. The texture will be thicker than juice, with some fine celery fibers remaining.

Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in a covered container and drink within 24 hours for best flavor. Discard the smoothie if it has been left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Separation or browning can happen during storage; stir before drinking.

Why can a celery banana smoothie support the body’s detox process?

The water in a celery banana smoothie contributes to hydration. The blended celery and banana also retain fiber, which can help support regular bowel movements.

Your liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. Sweat removes only trace amounts. A smoothie does not cleanse these organs or make them detoxify faster, and there is no established evidence that this particular drink does so.

Avoid the smoothie if you have a celery allergy. If you have kidney disease and need to limit potassium, or take warfarin and need to keep vitamin K intake consistent, ask your clinician how it fits your diet.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Use frozen banana

Freeze the sliced banana first for a colder, thicker smoothie. Measure the same amount of banana before freezing to keep the recipe and nutrition estimate comparable. You may need a little extra water to help the blender move.

Change the liquid

Replace some or all of the water with an unsweetened milk or plant-based alternative if you prefer a creamier drink. The flavor and nutrition will change depending on the liquid you choose.

Adjust the celery flavor

Use less celery for a milder drink, or add more for a stronger savory taste. Banana provides much of the sweetness here, as it does in a banana detox smoothie. Changes to either ingredient will also change the nutrition below.

Make it thicker or thinner

For a thicker texture, start with less water and add more as needed. For a thinner drink, blend in additional water until it pours easily. Straining is possible, but it removes some of the fiber from the finished smoothie.

What is the nutrition per serving?

These estimates are for the full recipe: 100 g raw celery, 100 g raw banana and 240 mL water. Actual values vary with ingredient weight and any additions or substitutions.

The sugars listed come naturally from the celery and banana; the recipe has no added sugar. Water adds volume but no calories, so adding more water changes the drink’s consistency without changing the total nutrients in the serving.
