Refreshing Celery & Lime Hydrator
A crisp, nutrient-dense drink to support hydration and wellness.
Ingredients
-
1 bunch Fresh Celery: Look for bright green, crisp stalks.
-
1-2 Fresh Limes: Adds vitamin C and a bright, citrusy flavor.
-
1 small handful Fresh Parsley (Optional): For an extra boost of antioxidants.
-
1/2 cup Cold Filtered Water: To help with the blending process.
Detailed Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables
-
Separate the celery stalks and wash them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any soil.
-
Chop the stalks into small, 1-inch pieces to make them easier for your blender to process.
-
If using parsley, give it a quick rinse and remove any thick, woody stems.
2. Blend
-
Place the chopped celery and parsley into a high-speed blender.
-
Add the filtered water.
-
Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until the mixture is completely liquefied and looks like a bright green smoothie.
3. Strain (Optional)
-
If you prefer a smooth juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag into a glass pitcher.
-
Weight Watchers Tip: If you enjoy the texture, drinking it unstrained keeps all the beneficial fiber, which helps you feel full longer!
4. Add Citrus & Serve
-
Squeeze the juice of 1 to 2 fresh limes into the celery juice.
-
Stir well and serve immediately over ice for the most refreshing flavor.
