Apples and lamb's lettuce are both at home in the winter kitchen, and together they make a light, juicy green smoothie. The apple brings sweetness and crunch, the lettuce a gentle nuttiness.

Lamb's Lettuce and Apple Smoothie
Light and juicy, with sweet apple, a fresh green colour and a soft, nutty leaf note.
When summer fruit is out of season, apples and lamb's lettuce are easy to find at any market. Lamb's lettuce is very tender and mild, so it blends without bitterness and contributes folate and vitamin K. Red apples give the drink its sweetness, juice and fibre, especially when you blend them with the peel.
This is a light, refreshing smoothie rather than a filling one. It works well alongside breakfast or as a fresh drink between meals, and a squeeze of lime makes it taste even cleaner.
No. The apple dominates; lamb's lettuce adds only a mild, nutty note.
