A generous portion of blueberries turns this smoothie deep violet and hides the rocket almost completely. Only a faint peppery note in the finish reminds you it is there.

Blueberry, Rocket and Apple Smoothie
Fruity and mildly sweet, with rich blueberry flavour, fresh apple and a hint of pepper.
Blueberries are one of the most popular smoothie berries: they are mild, sweet and give an intense colour thanks to their natural pigments. Red apple adds juiciness and a fresh acidity, and rocket brings a subtle peppery touch that keeps the drink from being too sweet.
Frozen wild blueberries are a practical alternative to fresh ones and have a particularly strong flavour. This smoothie makes a colourful breakfast and is a gentle way to add greens to your day.
Yes, they work very well and make the smoothie icy cold.
Only slightly, as a light peppery note in the finish.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
