Raspberries bring a bright, tart flavour to this creamy avocado smoothie, and a little rocket adds a gentle peppery bite. The colour ends up an earthy olive, the taste is fresh and fruity.

Creamy and only mildly sweet, with tart raspberry, a peppery hint of rocket and a velvety body.
Avocado is the base here: it makes the smoothie thick and smooth and is known for its monounsaturated fat. Baby spinach and rocket add greens, the spinach mild and the rocket slightly peppery. Raspberries are the fruity counterpoint with their tart aroma, and they are a good source of fibre thanks to their tiny seeds.
The smoothie is not very sweet and fairly filling. It suits a late breakfast or a snack when you want something green without a sugar rush.
Red raspberries and green spinach mix into an olive tone. The taste is not affected.
Yes, it contains only plant ingredients and water.
Yes, pass it through a fine sieve, but you lose some fibre and texture.
