Celery, Apple & Almond Green Smoothie Recipe for Energy

Green smoothies are an easy and delicious way to boost your daily vegetable intake while keeping the fibre intact—one reason I prefer smoothies to juicing.

If you skip breakfast or struggle to reach the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, adding a green smoothie to your routine can help. I often find they give me more sustained morning energy than coffee.

In my smoothies I always include a source of protein to extend satiety. Don’t hesitate to add 1/4 cup of almonds — they provide protein, fibre, and heart-healthy fats that help keep you full longer.

Here’s a simple, energizing option: the Celery Apple Almond Green Smoothie. It’s a great choice for breakfast or a snack, and it’s easy to take with you in a mason jar when you’re on the go.

Notes

A high-quality blender is worth the investment if you plan to make smoothies regularly. A powerful machine will give you a smoother texture and can also handle nut butters and nut milk. If you don’t have one yet, look for a blender with a strong motor and good reviews for handling nuts and leafy greens.
