Rocket gives this green smoothie a peppery bite that you rarely find in a glass. Avocado makes it silky, and a teaspoon of honey takes the edge off without turning it sweet.
½
avocado ripe
15 g
rocket
1 tsp
honey
¼ oz
lemon juice (optional)
5 oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and savoury, with a peppery rocket bite and a faint honey sweetness.
This is a savoury smoothie rather than a fruity one. Rocket, also called arugula, has a mustardy, peppery flavour, while ripe avocado adds a buttery texture and mostly unsaturated fat. A little honey and an optional squeeze of lemon balance the bitterness of the leaves.
The smoothie is best as a small, refreshing glass at lunchtime or alongside a light meal. If you are new to green drinks, start with the variation below and add more rocket over time.
Not with honey; use maple syrup or agave syrup to make it vegan.
No, it is mainly savoury and peppery with just a hint of sweetness.
Better not, as avocado browns and the rocket turns bitter.
