Herbal and spicy, with fresh parsley, mild spinach and a warming ginger kick.
Flat-leaf parsley is often only used as a garnish, yet it has a fresh, slightly peppery flavour that works well in green drinks. It is a good source of vitamin K. Baby spinach provides a mild base, and fresh ginger adds a clear, warming heat.
Without fruit, this drink is savoury and barely sweet, closer to a green juice than a creamy smoothie. It is best served ice cold in a small glass; a teaspoon of honey rounds it off.
Yes, without honey or with agave syrup.
Yes, but flat-leaf parsley has a finer, more aromatic flavour.
The ginger is noticeable; reduce it for a milder drink.
