Two of the mildest salad greens meet a ripe banana here, so the result is creamy and sweet with only a gentle leafy note. A simple green smoothie to start with.

Creamy, sweet and mild with a fresh green note in the background.
Lamb's lettuce and baby spinach are both very mild leaves, which makes them ideal for green smoothie beginners. Lamb's lettuce adds a slightly nutty flavour, spinach mostly colour. Leafy greens like these are generally known to contain folate and vitamin K. The ripe banana provides all the sweetness and a creamy texture.
The smoothie is plant based, quick and inexpensive, and it works as a breakfast glass or a small snack.
Yes, both greens are very mild and the banana covers their taste.
Yes, it contains only banana, leaves and water.
It is best fresh; kept airtight in the fridge it will last until the next morning but loses colour.
