Celery Blueberry Smoothie: Recipe and Nutrition

A celery blueberry smoothie is a blend of celery, blueberries and water that takes 5 minutes to make and yields 2 servings.

The blueberries give this drink a mild sweetness, while celery adds a fresh, savory note. For a more celery-forward blend, see the celery detox smoothie.

What ingredients do you need?

Celery: 100 g, about 1 cup chopped
Blueberries: 150 g, about 1 cup, fresh or frozen
Water: 240 mL, about 1 cup

Choose crisp celery and rinse it well, including between the stalks where dirt can collect. Fresh blueberries should be firm and free of mold; frozen blueberries can go straight into the blender.

This recipe uses the whole celery and blueberries rather than juice, so their fiber stays in the drink. There is no added sweetener. The blueberries provide sweetness, although the finished smoothie will taste less sweet than one made with fruit juice.

How do you make a celery blueberry smoothie?

Prep time: 5 minutes. Steeping time: 0 minutes. Yield: 2 servings.

Rinse the celery and fresh blueberries under cool running water.
Chop the celery into small pieces so the blender can break down its stringy fibers more easily.
Pour the water into the blender, then add the celery and blueberries.
Blend until smooth. Add a little more water if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
Divide between 2 glasses and serve immediately, without straining.

If the smoothie separates, stir or shake it before drinking; separation is normal for a blend of fruit, vegetables and water. To make it ahead, refrigerate it in a covered container and drink it within 24 hours for best quality. Give it another stir before serving.

How does it support the body's natural detox processes?

The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification. The lungs and gut also help eliminate waste, while sweat removes only trace amounts.

A celery blueberry smoothie supplies fluid to support hydration. Blending the whole produce also keeps its fiber, which supports normal bowel movements. Blueberries contain plant compounds called polyphenols, but there is no evidence that this particular smoothie removes toxins or speeds up detoxification.

For another way to use the berries, see the blueberry detox smoothie. If you take warfarin, ask your clinician how to keep your vitamin K intake consistent when changing what you eat; celery and blueberries both contain vitamin K.

What swaps and variations work?

Use frozen blueberries

Replace the fresh blueberries with the same amount of frozen blueberries for a colder, thicker drink. If your blender struggles, add a little water and blend again. Frozen berries may make the smoothie less pourable at first, so adjust the texture gradually.

Make it creamier

Replace some of the water with unsweetened plain yogurt. This changes the nutrition shown below and may add protein, depending on the yogurt. Add the yogurt after the water so it is easier to blend with the celery.

Adjust the flavor

For a stronger blueberry flavor, use more blueberries and less celery. For a more pronounced celery taste, do the reverse. Either change will alter the estimated nutrition per serving; keep the total amount of produce similar if you want roughly the same yield.

What is the nutrition per serving?

The estimates below are for half the base recipe, made with 100 g celery, 150 g blueberries and 240 mL water. They use raw-produce values and include all the blended produce; actual values vary with the ingredients and serving size.

Nutrient	Per serving
Energy	50 kcal
Carbohydrates	12.4 g
Fiber	2.6 g
Total sugars	8.1 g
Protein	0.9 g
Fat	0.3 g
Sodium	41 mg
Potassium	188 mg
Vitamin C	8.8 mg

The sugars occur naturally in the celery and blueberries; the base recipe contains no added sugar. This is a light drink rather than a substantial meal, so pair it with other foods if you need a more filling breakfast or snack.
