Kiwi Rocket Smoothie with Mint
Tangy and cool, lightly peppery, with a clear mint finish and a fairly thin texture.
Kiwis bring a bright acidity and are known for their high vitamin C content. Their tiny black seeds give the smoothie a faint speckle and a little crunch. Rocket adds a peppery note, and fresh mint cools everything down.
The result is less sweet than most fruit smoothies, so it suits people who prefer tangy drinks. On a hot day it works almost like a green lemonade, and it is a good companion to a light lunch.
Usually the seeds were blended too long. Pulse briefly and stop once it is smooth.
Yes, they are sweeter and less acidic, so you can skip the honey.
