Tart blackberry and sweet apple with a creamy, velvety body and a fresh hint of mint.
Apples and blackberries are a classic late summer pairing, familiar from crumbles and pies. In a smoothie the combination works just as well: the apple supplies sweetness, the blackberries acidity, colour and fibre.
Avocado adds a velvety texture and mild flavour, which turns a simple fruit drink into something more filling. A few mint leaves brighten the finish. With water as the only liquid it stays vegan and light, and it is ideal for using up blackberries from the garden or hedgerow.
Yes, it contains only fruit, mint and water.
Not really; it mainly adds creaminess.
Blend a little longer, or strain the smoothie through a fine sieve.
