Velvety and mild, with gentle banana sweetness and a cool peppermint finish.
About this smoothie
This green smoothie combines two mild leafy greens, nutty lamb's lettuce and baby spinach, with avocado and banana for creaminess. Avocado adds mostly unsaturated fats, banana natural sweetness. Instead of water, cooled peppermint tea is used as the liquid, which brings a refreshing mint aroma without any sugar. The result is a velvety, cool green glass that suits breakfast or a light lunch.
Bartender tips
Brew the tea the evening before and keep it in the fridge.
Wash lamb's lettuce in several changes of water, as it often holds sand.
Variations
With fresh mint
Use water and a few fresh mint leaves instead of the tea.
