With only two main ingredients, this smoothie tastes intensely of blackberry, with a soft, nutty undertone from the lamb's lettuce. It is deep purple and quite tart.

Blackberry Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie
Tart and light, with an intense blackberry flavor and a gentle, nutty green background.
This is a minimalist green smoothie. Blackberries bring an intense, slightly winey berry flavor, dark color and plenty of fiber, and lamb's lettuce adds a mild, nutty green note that hardly shows in the color. Without any other fruit, the drink is fairly tart and light, so a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup is often welcome.
Blackberries are in season in late summer; the rest of the year, frozen ones are a good alternative. If you find the result too thin, a small banana makes it creamier. A refreshing choice for warm afternoons.
Not very; it is tangy. Add honey, agave syrup or half a banana for more sweetness.
Yes, baby spinach works the same way.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup or not at all.
