A ripe banana makes this green smoothie sweet and smooth, so the leaves taste mild. A little rocket adds a peppery edge.

Mild and sweet, creamy banana with a green note and a light peppery finish.
Banana and spinach is the classic entry point to green smoothies: the fruit masks the leaves, and the drink turns bright green. Baby spinach is mild and provides folate and vitamin K, rocket brings a mustardy pepperiness, and banana adds sweetness and potassium.
Keep the rocket modest, as too much can make the drink sharp. Blended with water, the smoothie stays light. It works well for breakfast or as a snack before exercise.
Hardly; the banana dominates, with a light peppery note from the rocket.
Best fresh; it keeps a few hours in the fridge in a closed jar.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
