    The sugar from the banana helps. Getting smoothies to taste pleasant is a challenge, no?

    I have visions of stringy celery clogging up my blender. I can't imagine much benefit to adding it to a smoothie, but whatever works for you, go for it.

    I can't imagine those two tastes together, let alone juicing them.

    I was a raw vegan for a while (not the Freelee type) and enjoyed all manner of smoothies of the type that combined veggies and fruit. I was a fan of keeping all that fiber, you know? I can't imagine ever once thinking to have added celery to one of the smoothies. It's not the first food that comes to mind when I think of nutrient density.

    Generally, I'm not a fan of juicing because it does remove the fiber from foods and think smoothies can be a good option for people who struggle to eat enough veggies. Hiding them in with fruit and some protein like yogurt or protein powder can make a good meal for some.

    Saying that, I really can't see what you were aiming for with a celery/banana juice, OP. Can you share what your goals are?

    This sounds horrible. Just eat your banana and eat your celery. I like peanut butter on my celery actually. Yum.

    I think of celery as adding flavor to broths in soups and stews or for adding volume and crunch to higher calorie foods, or, as you said, a vehicle for something else like peanut butter, cream cheese, dip, or hummus. I don't understand wanting to juice it.

    This is the second celery juice post. Is that Goop guy getting more traction than I thought?

    As a certified nerd, all I keep thinking of is this:

    100% agree. When I think of blended celery I think of it looking like it was regurgitated. No thanks.

    And 🤣🤣🤣

    I really like celery and all these posts are making me want to eat some, but not to juice it.

    I don't think the juice would taste bad, just be kind of wasteful. I do like fennel and cucumber in smoothies, though, and just think celery's texture would be a bit harder to deal with.

    I only like bananas plain and don't like them in smoothies.

    Back when I used to follow that sort of thing :blush: celery juice was touted as a powerful detoxifier that cleaned your blood and was a gut anti inflammatory. :lol:

    I have always hated celery. It's just strings with aftertaste to me.

    I'd rather blend a banana with some dark leafy greens, chocolate protein powder and milk!

    If I ever need a quick method to throw up, I'll keep that in mind. Celery and banana are the two things that are guaranteed to make me ill.

    Try adding a splash of ACV...

    Good thing dinner was a couple of hours ago... or I'd be revisiting it right about now. :sick:

    I think we might have a winner here. The Hurly Diet Plan (TM) "100% Natural and Organic Smoothie that works with your body to promote effortless weight loss." We're gonna be rich I tell you! Rich!!!

    Problem is just that I'll be stuck in a bathroom, hanging over a toilet. So you'll have absolutely no marketing support coming from me.

    But but but can I use your before and after pics, though?

    Or should I just 'borrow' some off of Pinterest like all of these scams miracle diets do?

    I could provide before and 'during' pictures.

    Not sure how useful those would be :tongue:

    After pictures might be a bit more difficult while at the ER getting an IV because of vomiting induced dehydration...

    Banana juice sounds gross to add it with celery even worst.

    Omg, you guys! No bananas in a smoothie?
    Throw:
    Almond milk
    Chocolate protein
    A frozen banana (or two)
    In a blender?
    It is to die
    Celery? Meh, not so much...

    Sounds really nice without the celery but personally, I prefer to eat rather than drink my food.
    Greek yoghurt mixed with chocolate protein or cacao powder, a banana and some nuts and you truly have a winner! Mixed berries instead of banana works wonders too.

    Well, to be fair, OP didn't claim any special properties for it, just stated it tasted good.

    And sometimes that happens - you combine foods or eat them in a different way for the first time and find you like them like that.

    I'm not a great fan of celery but I do like bananas, both by themselves and as a smoothie or mixed juice ingredient.
