Clean and fresh with tart green apple in front and a light, watery crispness behind.
About this smoothie
Iceberg lettuce is often overlooked for smoothies because it is considered bland, but that is exactly its strength here. It contributes a lot of water and a clean, neutral freshness. A small amount of baby spinach adds colour, and a green apple provides tartness, sweetness and fibre.
Without herbs or strong greens, this smoothie is especially easy to drink and suits children and green smoothie beginners alike.
Bartender tips
A little honey balances very tart apples if needed.
Add ice cubes on hot days; the mild flavour holds up well.
Variations
Minty apple
Blend in four or five fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
