No fruit, no sugar: this is a green smoothie for savoury tastes. Avocado gives it body, rocket and dandelion bring pepper and bitterness.

3 leaves
dandelion leaves
15 g

rocket
6¾ oz
water
1 tsp
lime juice for freshness (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and savoury with peppery rocket, a bitter dandelion edge and a mild, buttery body.
Dandelion leaves are a traditional wild green with a clear bitter taste, rocket adds a peppery bite, and baby spinach contributes mild volume. Avocado brings creaminess and unsaturated fats, which makes this green drink more substantial than a smoothie made only of leaves.
Without any fruit it tastes almost like a cold, drinkable soup. A little lime juice and a pinch of salt make it even better. If you prefer something sweeter, add half a green apple.
