Celery Pea and Mint
Well well well, look who’s out here blending green like a goddess! This Celery, Pea & Mint Smoothie is the kind of drink that says “I do yoga, hydrate like a pro, and might be a forest nymph on weekends.” 💚 It’s cool, crisp, and refreshing—with that herbal-minty lift and a hint of sweetness from the peas.
🌱 Ingredients (Makes 1–2 servings)
- 2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
- ½ cucumber, peeled if you prefer it less earthy
- ½ cup frozen peas (about 75 g)
- 1 small handful fresh mint leaves (about 10 leaves, stems removed)
- 200–250 ml coconut water (adjust for desired consistency)
🌟 Optional Add-ins:
- Juice of ½ lime or lemon for a citrusy lift
- ½ green apple or a few chunks of pineapple for sweetness
- 1 tsp chia or flaxseeds for extra nutrients
- A few ice cubes for a frostier blend
🔥 Method
- Prep & load: Roughly chop your celery and cucumber. Add everything into a blender—peas, celery, cucumber, mint, and coconut water.
- Blend till smooth: Blitz on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth. Add more coconut water if it’s too thick, or ice cubes if you want it colder and frothier.
- Taste & tweak: If it’s too “green” for your taste, add a bit of citrus or a sweet fruit like apple to balance.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a mint sprig or cucumber ribbon if you’re feeling bougie.
🧠Tips
- Texture check: If your blender leaves it a little chunky, strain it through a fine sieve for a smoother sip.
- Not sweet enough? Add half a frozen banana or a date to mellow the edge.
- Post-workout version? Add a scoop of protein powder or plain Greek yoghurt for a more filling, functional smoothie.
