Rocket in a smoothie brings a mild peppery kick that most people do not expect. The berries and avocado keep it fruity and smooth, so the greens stay in the background.

Avocado Smoothie with Rocket
Creamy and fruity with a tart berry flavour and a gentle peppery finish from the rocket.
Rocket (also called arugula) is known from salads, but a small amount in a smoothie adds a pleasant, mustardy spice. Like other leafy greens it contains vitamin K and folate. Avocado gives body and a velvety texture, frozen berries contribute acidity, colour and chill, and they also mask the green colour, so the drink looks more purple than green. It is a good first step for anyone curious about green smoothies but put off by grassy flavours.
No. The berries dominate; the rocket shows up only as a light spice at the end.
Yes. It contains only fruit, rocket and water.
It is best fresh; avocado can darken and the greens taste stronger after standing.
