Blueberries hide the green of the rocket completely, so this smoothie turns out deep purple. The rocket only shows itself as a subtle, peppery finish.

Fruity and sweet, with ripe blueberry, soft banana and a subtle peppery finish.
Blueberries get their deep colour from anthocyanins, natural plant pigments. They are sweet, slightly tart and blend into a thick, smooth texture. Half a banana adds body and extra sweetness.
Rocket is an unusual partner, but its peppery note works well with dark berries, much like black pepper with strawberries. Coconut water keeps the drink light and adds a mild sweetness. A fruity smoothie with a surprising twist.
Only slightly, as a peppery note at the end. The blueberries dominate.
Yes, they are ideal and available all year.
Yes, it is completely plant based.
