A Simple Green Smoothie that Hydrates

Most days I put many of the ingredients in this smoothie through the juicer (except the avocado, that’s a major no-no because you will not receive any juice from it!), but today I felt like making this fresh and light smoothie for a snack, and I’m so happy that I did!  This smoothie is a great source of hydrating fruits and vegetables like celery, cucumber, apple and kiwi and would make for a great summer or warm weather snack to help you beat the heat and stay hydrated.

This smoothie is also a good source of many nutrients, including:

  • Vitamin C: Kiwi, leafy greens
  • Folate: Greens
  • Potassium: All of the vegetables and fruits
  • Quercitin: Apple skin
  • Gingerol: Ginger
  • Monounsaturated fats: Avocado

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
  • 1 apple
  • 1 kiwi
  • 3 stalks celery
  • ½ cucumber
  • ¼ avocado
  • 1 in (2.5 cm) piece of ginger

Directions:

  1. Wash all produce well.
  2. Core apple, peel kiwi, chop celery and cucumber, and peel ginger.
  3. Add all ingredients to blender and blend on high for 45-60 seconds or until well blended.
