Apple, celery and cucumber smoothie<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will need:<\/em>
\n1cm fresh ginger, peeled
\n250ml apple juice (or 2 apples and 175ml iced water)
\n2 stalks of celery, including the leaves
\n1 cucumber (6cm long)<\/p>\n

In most recipes you only use the stalks of celery, but did you know that fresh, green leaves are also great for cooking?
\nCelery leaves can be used for extra flavour in soups, stews and sauces, or processed into a smoothie, just like this recipe. They\u2019re also great in a stir-fry, or you can substitute celery for parsley in a classic tabbouleh.<\/p>\n

Method:<\/em>
\nGrate the ginger and put in a blender.
\nWash the celery leaves thoroughly and cut the celery stalks and cucumber into small pieces. Add to blender.
\nAdd the apple juice and blend for 30 seconds. If you\u2019re using fresh apples instead, cut them in to small pieces and add to the blender with the water. Blend.<\/p>\n

Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie<\/strong>
\nStrawberries and watermelon taste amazing together and make this watermelon and strawberry smoothie a family\u2019s favourite.
\nStrawberries are very high in antioxidants like Vitamin C also contain iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, vitamin K and vitamin E (3,4).<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/em>
\n1 cup frozen strawberries
\n2 cups frozen watermelon pieces, seedless, cut into 1 inch cubes
\n1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or almond milk
\n2 teaspoons honey (optional)
\nBlend until smooth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
