The Instagram celebrity-celery diet is going viral – here are 7 better ways to eat the green veg

Users on Instagram are doing the most to prove that “new year, new diet fad” is in fact, the truth. Detoxing on celery juice is the new craze, with supports claiming any number of alleged benefits from garden variety weight-loss to life changing skin transformation. 

With over 70 000 tags on Instagram and celeb endorsements – celery sure is having its moment in the spotlight. Here are a few (more delicious) recipes for cooking with celery at home- 

We love this Vegan celery pesto on pasta, in dressings and even on a bit of toast with avo.

Drinking only celery juice, and not eating anything else, is not exactly our idea of a good time. So yes, take a few sips of a green juice with your breakfast, but remember, food is more than just calories – it should also be enjoyable and nourishing.
