Blackberry Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie with Spirulina
Dark and fruity, tart blackberry with a soft banana base and a faint earthy note from the spirulina.
Spirulina is a dried blue-green microalga with an earthy, slightly marine flavour, and blackberries are one of the few fruits dark and tart enough to hide it well. Lamb's lettuce adds a mild green note along with folate and vitamin K. Blackberries contribute fibre and some vitamin C.
Half a banana softens the tartness and gives the smoothie body, and coconut water adds light sweetness. If you are new to spirulina, begin with half a teaspoon. The smoothie suits a morning after sport or a mid-morning snack.
Earthy and slightly like seaweed. Blackberries and banana cover most of it here.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, but the smoothie will be a little tarter; add a bit more banana.
