A celery orange smoothie is a blended drink of celery, orange and water that takes 10 minutes to prepare and makes 2 servings. Customize the recipe with the ai detox recipe generator, or explore another version in the celery detox smoothie guide.

What ingredients do you need?

For 2 servings, gather:

• 200 g celery, chopped (about 2 cups)
• 300 g peeled orange, separated into segments (about 1⅔ cups)
• 240 ml water (about 1 cup)

Measure the celery after trimming and the orange after peeling. The cup amounts are approximate; weighing the prepared ingredients gives you the closest match to the nutrition estimate below.

Use whole orange segments rather than juice for this recipe. Blending the segments and celery without straining keeps their pulp in the drink, giving the smoothie more texture and retaining their fiber.

How do you make a celery orange smoothie?

1. Rinse the celery and oranges under running water.
2. Trim and chop the celery, then measure 200 g (about 2 cups).
3. Peel the oranges, remove any seeds and measure 300 g of segments (about 1⅔ cups).
4. Add the celery, orange segments and 240 ml water (about 1 cup) to a blender.
5. Blend until as smooth as your blender allows, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
6. Divide the smoothie equally between 2 glasses and serve.

The celery orange smoothie needs 0 minutes of steeping. It may still have some texture, especially if your blender leaves small pieces of celery; drink it unstrained to retain the fiber included in the nutrition estimate.

For leftovers, refrigerate promptly in a covered container and drink within 24 hours. Stir before serving if the smoothie separates, and discard it sooner if it develops an off smell or slimy texture.

Why can it support the body's normal detox processes?

The celery orange smoothie supplies water, which helps you stay hydrated. Hydration supports normal body functions, including the work of the kidneys.

Your liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification; the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. This smoothie does not flush toxins or replace those organs' work. It is simply a way to include fluids, fruit and vegetables in your diet.

The orange and celery also provide fiber when you blend and drink the whole ingredients. Fiber supports normal digestion, but there is no need to rely on a special drink to cleanse your body.

What swaps and variations can you try?

For a thinner drink: Add a little more water after blending. This changes the volume and dilutes each glass, but it does not change the total nutrients from the celery and orange if you still divide the entire batch into 2 servings.

For a colder drink: Blend in ice just before serving. Ice adds water as it melts, so the finished smoothie will be thinner than the basic recipe.

For a milder celery flavor: Use less celery and add more peeled orange. The flavor and nutrition will differ from the estimates below, which are based on the listed ingredient weights.

What is the nutrition per serving?

These estimates use the supplied raw-food nutrition data for 200 g of celery and 300 g of orange, plus water, divided into 2 equal servings. They assume you drink all the blended pulp and make no substitutions.

The sugar listed is naturally present in the celery and orange; the basic recipe has no added sugar. Actual values vary with the produce and the amounts used.

Avoid this smoothie if you are allergic to celery or citrus. If you take warfarin, ask your clinician before making a large change in your intake of vitamin K-containing foods such as celery; do not change your medication on your own. If you have been advised to limit potassium or fluids, check with your clinician or dietitian about whether this serving fits your plan.
