Blackberries turn this green smoothie a dark, dusky colour and add tartness. Avocado makes it creamy, the lamb's lettuce stays mild in the background.

Creamy and tart, with fruity blackberry, a mild green note and only slight sweetness.
Avocado gives this smoothie its creamy base: its flesh is rich in mostly unsaturated fat and has a mild, buttery taste. Lamb's lettuce adds a gentle, nutty green note, and blackberries bring colour, fibre and a pleasant acidity.
Without banana or other sweet fruit, the result is less sweet than most smoothies. A teaspoon of honey or agave syrup helps if you prefer it sweeter. Mixing green leaves with dark berries gives an unusual greyish purple colour, but the taste is fresh and fruity.
Yes, if you use agave syrup or no sweetener.
Green leaves and dark berries together make a purple grey tone; it does not affect the taste.
Yes, baby spinach works just as well.
