Avocado, Celery and Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie
Taste
Creamy and smooth, fresh and slightly savoury from the celery, softened by the banana.
About this smoothie
Celery stalks are mostly water and have a fresh, slightly salty and herbal taste that gives green smoothies a savoury edge. Avocado provides creaminess, banana a gentle sweetness, and lamb's lettuce a mild, nutty leaf flavour.
The old recipe used two avocados and a lot of lamb's lettuce for two glasses, which is very rich; this version is lighter but still creamy and filling. It works well as a quick lunch or a savoury breakfast alternative.
Bartender tips
Cut celery into small pieces so its fibres blend completely.
A few drops of lemon juice freshen the taste and keep the colour green.
Variations
Apple version
Replace the banana with a green apple for a fresher, less sweet smoothie.
Frequently asked questions
Does the celery taste strong?
It gives a fresh, slightly savoury note but does not dominate.
Can I use celeriac?
No, celeriac is much stronger and firmer. Use celery stalks.
