Coconut milk and ginger are a familiar pair from Asian cooking, and they work just as well in a glass. Lamb's lettuce adds a soft green colour and a mild, nutty note.
5 g
ginger peeled
30 g
lamb's lettuce
6¾ oz
canned coconut milk
½
banana for sweetness (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mild, with a warming ginger kick and a soft, nutty green note.
Ginger and coconut milk appear together in many curries and soups, and their warm, creamy combination also suits a smoothie. Lamb's lettuce is one of the mildest salad leaves and gives the drink colour without bitterness. Leafy greens contribute folate and vitamin K.
Without fruit, the smoothie is only lightly sweet from the coconut milk; half a banana makes it rounder and sweeter. It is a warming option for colder months, when lamb's lettuce is in season.
Only slightly; add half a banana for more sweetness.
Yes, baby spinach works the same way.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
