Celery Pineapple Smoothie: Recipe and Nutrition

A celery pineapple smoothie is a blended drink made with celery, pineapple and water that takes 10 minutes total and makes 2 servings.

For a celery-forward option, see the celery detox smoothie, or use the ai detox recipe generator to customize a drink.

What ingredients do you need?

Celery: 100 g (about 1 cup), chopped
Pineapple: 165 g (about 1 cup), peeled and chopped
Cold water: 240 ml (1 cup)

Use raw celery and ripe pineapple for the nutrition estimates below. The pineapple adds sweetness and tartness, while the celery gives the smoothie a fresh, savory edge. There is no added sugar in the base recipe.

Wash the celery under running water, separating the stalks so you can rinse away any soil. Rinse the outside of the pineapple before cutting it, then remove the peel and eyes. Chop both ingredients into pieces small enough for your blender to handle.

Frozen pineapple can work too, but the texture will be thicker and colder. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the pieces soften slightly before blending.

How do you make a celery pineapple smoothie?

Rinse the celery and pineapple, then peel and chop the pineapple and chop the celery.
Add the celery and water to a blender, and blend until the celery is finely broken down.
Add the pineapple and blend again until as smooth as you like.
Divide the smoothie evenly between 2 glasses and serve.

If the mixture is thicker than you prefer, blend in a little more water. For a smoother texture, keep blending until fewer celery pieces are visible. Straining is an option, but it removes some of the pulp and fiber, so the nutrition estimates will no longer apply.

Drink the smoothie promptly, or refrigerate it in a covered container and drink it within 24 hours for best quality. Stir or shake it before serving if it separates. Discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Why can it support the body's detox processes?

A celery pineapple smoothie supports hydration, which helps the body's organs do their normal work. It is not a cleanse and does not remove toxins on its own.

The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification; the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. Sweat removes only trace amounts. The water in this smoothie contributes to fluid intake, while the whole celery and pineapple provide fiber when the drink is not strained.

Pineapple also supplies vitamin C. These are nutritional benefits of the ingredients, not evidence that this particular smoothie has a special detox effect.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Make it colder

Use frozen pineapple in place of fresh pineapple, keeping the same amount. The smoothie may need a splash of extra water to move easily through the blender. Letting the fruit soften first can help if your blender has difficulty with frozen pieces.

Adjust the fruit flavor

For a stronger pineapple flavor, use a little more pineapple and less celery. For a more savory drink, do the opposite. The pineapple detox smoothie offers another fruit-forward approach.

Change the texture

Blend for longer for a finer drink, or add water gradually for a thinner one. Keep the pulp if you want the fiber from the whole ingredients. Any change to the ingredient amounts, or straining the drink, changes the nutrition estimates below.

What is the nutrition per serving?

These estimates are calculated from the supplied raw celery and pineapple values, with water contributing no calories. They assume the full recipe is blended without straining and divided into 2 equal servings. Actual values vary with the produce and portions used.

Calories	48 kcal
Carbohydrates	12.3 g
Total sugars	8.8 g

The sugars listed occur naturally in the celery and pineapple; the base recipe contains no added sugar. Adding other ingredients will change the totals.
