Berry Rocket Smoothie with Coconut Water
Dark and fruity, tart berries with a gentle peppery bite and a soft, lightly sweet finish.
Blueberries and blackberries give this smoothie a very dark colour, fibre and a pleasant tartness. Rocket is the unusual element: its peppery, slightly bitter taste sits in the background and gives the berries more depth, a bit like black pepper on strawberries.
Coconut water is light, slightly sweet and contains potassium, which makes it a popular base for drinks after exercise. If you prefer it sweeter, a spoon of honey balances the bitterness. A good choice for anyone who likes bold flavours in the morning.
It adds a noticeable but gentle peppery note. Use less for a milder smoothie.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
Yes. The smoothie will be a little less sweet and round.
