CELERY AND PEAR DETOX SMOOTHIE
The Celery and Pear Detox Smoothie is a crisp and cleansing blend designed to support your body’s natural detoxification processes while delivering a refreshing flavour. Combining hydrating celery with the gentle sweetness of pear, the tartness of lemon juice and a splash of water, this drink is both soothing and revitalising. Celery is known for its alkalising and anti-inflammatory properties, while pear adds fibre, aiding digestion and promoting regularity. A squeeze of lemon contributes to vitamin C intake and supports liver function, making this smoothie an ideal choice for anyone looking to give their system a gentle reset. It’s best enjoyed first thing in the morning or between meals, especially during warmer weather or after heavy meals. This detox drink is vegan, low in sugar and gluten-free, which can be part of a regular healthy routine that favours simplicity and hydration.
