A small piece of fresh ginger gives this berry smoothie a warm kick. Raspberries turn it rosy pink and tart, banana smooths the edges, and the greens stay in the background.

Arugula Raspberry Smoothie with Ginger
Tart and fruity with warming ginger heat, a creamy banana base and a faint peppery note.
Raspberries bring a strong, tart berry flavour and a bright colour that dominates the green of the leaves. Fresh ginger adds a gentle heat that works surprisingly well with berries, and banana gives sweetness and body. Arugula and baby spinach contribute a mild green note and a little pepper.
The drink is on the tart side and has a noticeable ginger warmth, so start with a small piece if you are unsure. It is a nice choice for cooler mornings.
About 1 cm gives a gentle warmth. Use more if you like it spicy.
Yes, they make the smoothie colder and slightly thicker.
