Vegan day 159: Celery banana green tea shake
A friend of mine posted this on my Facebook page the other day- it was part of her initial detox cleansing leading into a full juice fast. I love this recipe because it pulls together the benefits of green tea, celery and a banana.
Green tea is widely popular and filled with many health benefits:
- Antioxidants (catechins)
- Weight loss possibilities
- May reduce pain of rheumatoid arthritis
- Stabilizes cholesterol levels
- Improves immune system
- Reduced risk of heart disease
- Promising studies for fighting cancer cells
Celery, as a I mentioned in yesterday’s blog is loaded with nutrients and is incredibly helpful for detox and elimination. Banana’s are a food I eat almost everyday and most certainly include in most of my proteins shakes.
Recipe
Green tea- prepare 2 cups and let cool
Celery- a few stalks with the heads on
Banana- one
