Kiwi and lamb's lettuce are both green, both fresh, and both easy to like. The baby banana adds sweetness and a creamy body, so the glass tastes fruity rather than leafy.

Kiwi Banana Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie
Taste
Fresh and fruity, with tart kiwi, sweet banana and a faint nutty note from the lamb's lettuce.
About this smoothie
If you are new to green smoothies, this is a good place to start. Lamb's lettuce has soft leaves and a mild, nutty taste, far gentler than kale or rocket. Kiwi adds a lively acidity and is known for its high vitamin C content. The baby banana balances everything with its sweetness and makes the texture smooth. The colour stays a clear, fresh green. A light glass for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Bartender tips
Gold kiwis are sweeter and less acidic than green ones; with them you can skip the agave.
Blend no longer than about 60 seconds; long blending can make kiwi seeds taste bitter.
Variations
Kiwi spinach
Use baby spinach instead of lamb's lettuce; the taste stays mild.
