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
Taste
Fruity and mildly sweet, with rich blueberry flavour, fresh apple and a hint of pepper.
About this smoothie
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.
Bartender tips
Frozen blueberries make the smoothie thicker and colder.
Blueberries stain: rinse the blender right after use.
Variations
Mixed berry version
Use a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries instead of blueberries alone.

Yes, they work very well and make the smoothie icy cold.
