Two kiwis give this green smoothie a bright, tangy flavour, and half a banana smooths it out. Lamb's lettuce and spinach add colour and a mild, leafy freshness.

Fresh and tangy, with sweet kiwi, a soft banana body and a mild green note; medium thick.
Kiwi is one of the best fruits for green smoothies, because its tangy sweetness balances the grassy taste of leafy greens. Lamb's lettuce is mild and slightly nutty, baby spinach is soft and neutral, so together they make an easy entry into green drinks.
Kiwis are rich in vitamin C, and leafy greens add folate and fibre. A teaspoon of coconut oil gives a rounder texture but is optional. It is a light choice for breakfast or a mid morning break.
Yes, it contains only fruit, greens, coconut oil and water.
Yes, 30 g baby spinach can replace the mix with lamb's lettuce.
It is best fresh, as kiwi can turn slightly bitter and the colour dulls after some hours.
