Two mild salad leaves give this smoothie a bright green color without any bitterness. Apple and kiwi make sure it still tastes like fruit.

Apple Kiwi Smoothie with Lamb's Lettuce
Fresh and tangy, with a clean green flavor, a nutty hint of lamb's lettuce and a juicy body.
Lamb's lettuce and baby spinach are the two gentlest leaves you can put in a smoothie. Lamb's lettuce tastes soft and nutty, spinach almost neutral, and together they give the drink its color along with folate and vitamin K. Apple brings sweetness and juice, kiwi a fresh acidity and plenty of vitamin C.
The smoothie is light and refreshing rather than creamy, a good choice for a morning when you want something fresh. It is also a sensible first green smoothie, as neither leaf has the stronger taste of kale or rocket.
Yes. Both leaves are very mild, and the fruit dominates the flavor.
It keeps for up to a day in a sealed jar in the fridge, though the color dulls a little.
Yes, it contains only fruit, leaves and water.
