Celery and cucumber smoothie is a fresh, light, and nutritious drink that is perfect for a refreshing start to the day or a revitalizing snack. This recipe has roots in healthy eating and is often found in Russian cuisine, where natural and beneficial ingredients are valued. Cucumber adds a delicate watery freshness to the drink while celery provides a savory, slightly spicy note. Enhanced with arugula, lemon juice, and olive oil, the smoothie gains a rich flavor with a slight tang and pleasant herbal undertone. Microgreens add textural variety and visual appeal. This drink is excellent for detoxification, maintaining hydration balance, and improving digestion. It can be served chilled and garnished with fresh herbs, making it not only healthy but also an aesthetically pleasing choice for your diet.
