Blueberry, Celery-cilantro Cocktail

Sometimes we forget the different uses that we can give to some of our everyday veggies such as Celery. We like to make fun beverages that include fruits and veggies that we may have sitting around in our fridge. This is how today’s featured recipe came to be. Since then we have also done this with lemon flavored water for the kids and they enjoy drinking it by our side as we drink our grownup version.

This is an easy fruit and veggie combination (blueberry, celery and cilantro) to enjoy with family and friends, make it as a Cocktail or a Mocktail
