Two ingredients and water: juicy kiwis and tender lamb's lettuce. The result is tangy, fresh and a vivid green, with a gentle nutty note from the leaves.
2
kiwi peeled
20 g
lamb's lettuce thoroughly washed
5 oz
water
1 tsp
honey (optional)
Garnish: None · Ice: Served up, no ice
Tangy and fresh with a mild nutty green note; light and thin.
This is a minimalist green smoothie. Kiwis are rich in vitamin C and bring enough juice and acidity to carry the leaves on their own. Lamb's lettuce has soft leaves and a mild, nutty flavour, which makes it one of the easiest salads to blend. Without banana or dairy, the drink is light and quite tart; a teaspoon of honey softens it if you prefer. A fresh start to the morning.
Yes, baby spinach works just as well and tastes even milder.
Yes, if you leave out the honey or use agave syrup.
Peeling is recommended; the furry skin is edible but makes the texture rough.
