Avocado gives this green smoothie a velvety body, and a juicy nectarine brings sweetness. Arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite.
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and fruity, with sweet nectarine, mild avocado and a fresh peppery finish.
This smoothie combines three quite different flavours: buttery avocado, sweet and fragrant nectarine and peppery arugula. Avocado contributes monounsaturated fat and creaminess, nectarine juice and some vitamin C, and arugula, like other leafy greens, folate and vitamin K.
It makes a satisfying breakfast or light lunch, especially in summer when nectarines are ripe and aromatic. If you are new to arugula in smoothies, start with a smaller amount; it is peppery rather than bitter, but the flavour is distinct.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, a ripe peach works just as well.
Drink it within an hour or so, as avocado darkens quickly.
