Blackberries turn this green smoothie a deep purple, so nobody would guess it contains two kinds of leaves. The arugula shows up only as a gentle peppery note.

Fruity and dark with tart blackberry, sweet banana and a light peppery finish.
Arugula, also called rocket, has a nutty, peppery flavour that can be strong on its own. Paired with sweet-tart blackberries and banana it becomes a pleasant background spice. Baby spinach adds more greens without changing the taste much.
Blackberries are known to provide fibre and vitamin C, and leafy greens vitamin K. The smoothie works well as a breakfast drink and is a good step for anyone moving from fruit smoothies to greener ones.
Yes, arugula is the American name, rocket the British one.
No, the fruit covers most of it; only a light spice remains.
