Savoury, creamy and green with sharp ginger heat, fresh lime and a gentle chilli warmth.
Savoury green smoothies are an option for people who want greens without the sugar of fruit. Mild leaves such as spinach and lamb's lettuce form the base, avocado adds body. Fresh ginger has a sharp, warming heat that pairs well with lime.
A squeeze of lime balances the flavours, and the chilli is an optional extra for those who like more heat. Ginger has long been used in many cuisines as a warming spice. The smoothie fits a light lunch.
