Blending

Do you know that celery is very good for health? Among some of the benefits of celery are:

- helps to lower high cholesterol

- reduces/prevent high blood pressure

- lowers inflammation

- boosts immune system

- prevents cancer

- increases the chance to double your "salary" (just joking! :)

So I have been experimenting blending fruits with celery. 

Sharing with you the outcome:-

Orange, apple, celery, honey, and a half cup of water.

Orange, apple, celery, carrot, honey, a pinch of ginger and milk. 

The combination is actually same as the above, just that I put in more carrots and celery. Mom said it is best to add-on ginger so that it is not so "cold". Ginger has a lot of health benefits so its good to add-on in your drink.

Orange, celery, honey, a pinch of ginger, and half cup of water.

You can actually swap between adding on milk or water to have a variety of taste. 

Apple, celery, carrot, banana, honey, a pinch of ginger and milk. 

I consider this as a blending mistake. I was being too adventurous and put in too much ingredients. The drink came out very thick and dark in colour :| It looks quite yucky although the taste was alright.

Apple, celery, banana, mango and milk.

Some takeaways:

1. Try to minimize the amount of fruits you put in. 2 to 3 fruits at the max. 
2. Wash your fruits with salt to wash away the wax or any chemicals on the fruits. I would actually soak them in salt water for half an hour before cutting it. 
3. Put in a bit of ginger and honey as these are good ingredients.
4. Drink your smoothies straightaway after blending.

Happy Blending!
