This is a green smoothie for people who like a bit of bite. Rocket brings its typical peppery sharpness, while lamb's lettuce stays mild and nutty.

Fresh and green, with apple sweetness up front and a gentle peppery rocket finish.
Leafy greens are the classic way to add vegetables to a smoothie, and they work best with sweet fruit. Here a red apple provides the sweetness, rocket adds a mustardy, peppery edge and lamb's lettuce contributes a soft, nutty taste. Leafy greens like these contain folate and vitamin K.
The smoothie is light and fresh, a good start to the day or a break in the afternoon. If you are new to green smoothies, start with less rocket and more lamb's lettuce, then adjust to your taste.
Rocket is peppery rather than bitter, and the apple balances it. Start with 10 g if you are unsure.
