If green smoothies still make you hesitate, start here. Banana and coconut milk do most of the talking, and the leaves add colour and only a soft, nutty green note.

Creamy Banana Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie
Thick, creamy and mild, with ripe banana and coconut in front and a soft, nutty green note behind.
Lamb's lettuce is one of the gentlest salad leaves for smoothies: tender, slightly nutty and never bitter. Paired with baby spinach it turns the glass a fresh green without taking over the flavour. Both leaves contain folate and vitamin K, and they blend easily because the stems are soft.
Banana supplies the sweetness and binds the texture, while coconut milk makes it rich and round. That combination is filling, so the smoothie works as a light breakfast or a snack that keeps you going for a while.
Hardly. The banana and coconut dominate, and the leaves only add a mild, nutty note.
Yes, banana, leaves and coconut milk are all plant based.
Yes. Use 30 g baby spinach; the taste stays just as mild.
