What ingredients do you need?

For 2 servings, gather:

• 100 g raw celery, about 1 cup chopped
• 180 g peeled green kiwi, about 1 cup chopped
• 240 ml cold water, 1 cup

Measure the kiwi after peeling it and the celery after trimming it. Cup measures are approximate, so use the gram weights if you want your smoothie to be as close as possible to the nutrition estimate below.

The kiwi brings sweetness and tartness, while celery adds a mild, savory flavor. Water helps the ingredients move through the blender without making the drink overly thick. You do not need juice, sweetener or a supplement for this recipe.

How do you make a celery kiwi smoothie?

1. Wash the celery and kiwi under running water. Peel the kiwi and trim the celery.
2. Chop the celery and kiwi into pieces small enough for your blender. Measure 100 g celery and 180 g peeled kiwi.
3. Add the water to the blender, followed by the celery and kiwi.
4. Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.
5. Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately. Stir before drinking if the smoothie starts to separate.

There is no steeping time: the fruit and vegetable are blended into the drink rather than infused and removed. For a smoother texture, blend a little longer instead of straining; keeping the pulp also keeps the fiber in the glass.

If you have leftovers, cover and refrigerate them promptly, then drink within 24 hours. Stir or shake the chilled smoothie before serving. Discard it if it smells sour or otherwise looks or smells spoiled.

Why is it called a detox smoothie?

A celery kiwi smoothie can support hydration because it contains water as well as water-rich produce. Its blended celery and kiwi also contribute fiber, which supports normal digestion. The kiwi provides vitamin C, a nutrient the body uses for normal immune function and other processes.

The name does not mean the smoothie removes toxins or performs a special cleanse. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. Sweat removes only trace amounts; drinking a smoothie does not replace these normal processes.

There is no evidence presented here that this particular celery kiwi smoothie improves detoxification. Think of it as a way to include fruit, vegetables and fluid in your routine, not as a treatment or a substitute for meals or medical care.

Who should be careful: Avoid the smoothie if you have a celery or kiwi allergy. If a reaction causes trouble breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency help. People who need to restrict potassium because of kidney disease, or who take warfarin, should ask their clinician how this smoothie fits their diet; it contains both potassium and vitamin K.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Adjust the thickness

For a thinner drink, blend in another 60 ml, or 1/4 cup, of water. Add it gradually so you can stop when the texture suits you. Extra water changes the volume per serving but adds no calories.

Make it colder

Use chilled ingredients or blend in a few ice cubes. Ice will dilute the flavor as it melts, so start with a small amount. Frozen peeled kiwi can also make the smoothie colder and thicker; use the same weight as in the recipe.

Change the kiwi

You can use golden kiwi instead of green kiwi for a different flavor. The nutrition estimate below applies to raw green kiwi, so a substitution will change the result. Taste the finished drink before deciding whether it needs any other adjustment.

What is the nutrition per serving?

These estimates are for one of 2 equal servings, made with the stated weights of raw celery, peeled green kiwi and water. They include the whole blended produce, with no straining, ice or additions. Actual values vary with the produce and the amount poured into each glass.

The sugars listed come naturally from the celery and kiwi; the recipe contains no added sugar. The smoothie provides relatively little protein, so consider it alongside other foods if you want a more substantial meal.
