Celery juice is easy to make with a blender or a juicer. If you have a blender, make sure you have a clean nut milk bag, sock or tights to strain the juice through to extract the celery fibre. If you have a juicer, juice the celery like you would any other vegetable.

Ingredients
Blend the apples and water until smooth, then add the raspberries and honey. Then add the yogurt and blend until smooth. Put the ice cubes on top of the smoothie.
If you have been adding spinach to smoothies with success and would like to try something new and exciting, it’s time to add some Swiss chard! Adding just two large Swiss chard leaves provides almost 200% of your recommended vitamin A, 32% of the vitamin C you need and 12% of vitamin E. It’s also high in calcium and vitamin K, copper, manganese, magnesium and sodium.
People who have had calcium-oxalate kidney stones should limit their intake of chard, as should people who are taking anticoagulants. Chards of all kinds go really nicely with bananas, pineapple, oranges, apples and pears.
When you buy chard, try to eat it within a couple of days. Keeping it in some plastic tubs in the fridge can help keep it very nice and fresh and it’ll keep more of its nutrients for longer.
Ingredients
Blend this smoothie until it’s creamy. Add more water if it’s too thick. This might happen if you use frozen bananas. Enjoy.
