Lamb's lettuce is the gentlest salad leaf for smoothies, with a soft, slightly nutty taste. Raspberries tint the glass pink and add a fresh sourness, and the banana holds it all together.

Banana Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie with Raspberries
Fruity and fresh, with raspberry tartness, mellow banana and a faint nutty note from the leaves.
Lamb's lettuce, also called corn salad or mâche, is a winter salad popular in German speaking countries and France. Its small, tender leaves blend easily and taste much milder than kale or rocket, which makes it a good starting point for anyone new to green smoothies. Raspberries contribute fibre and vitamin C along with their bright acidity. The colour lands somewhere between pink and brown, but the flavour is clearly fruity. A light glass for breakfast or a snack.
