Sweet green grapes and a tart apple do most of the talking here, while a small handful of arugula adds a light peppery edge. Milk makes it creamy and mellow.

Arugula Grape Smoothie with Green Apple
Creamy and mild, sweet from the grapes, fresh from the apple, with a subtle peppery note.
Grapes are one of the sweetest fruits you can put in a smoothie, so they balance the sharpness of arugula and a green apple easily. The apple brings acidity and freshness, and milk rounds everything into a soft, creamy drink.
Use seedless grapes, as pips turn bitter in the blender. If you do not drink dairy, oat or almond drink works just as well. This smoothie makes a good breakfast because the milk gives it more substance than a water-based green smoothie.
Yes, the smoothie will be slightly darker and a little sweeter.
Not with cow's milk; replace it with oat, soy or almond drink.
No, just wash it well. The peel blends in easily.
