Creamy and mild, with coconut aroma, buttery avocado and a faint nutty green note.

About this smoothie

This smoothie is for anyone who prefers creamy and mild over fruity and sweet. Avocado provides monounsaturated fats and body, coconut milk aroma and smoothness. Lamb's lettuce is one of the gentlest salad leaves, with a slightly nutty taste. Chia seeds absorb liquid and make the drink a little thicker over a few minutes; they contribute fibre and the plant omega 3 fatty acid ALA. A teaspoon of agave syrup is optional. It suits breakfast or a light lunch.
