Fresh and mildly sweet, with juicy grapes, crisp apple and soft, nutty greens.
Lamb's lettuce is a winter salad in much of Europe, with small, tender leaves and a mild, nutty flavour. Together with baby spinach it gives this smoothie its green colour without any bitterness. Leafy greens contain folate and vitamin K, while grapes and apple add natural sweetness and juice.
The source recipe listed no liquid, so a little cold water is added here to make it drinkable. The smoothie suits breakfast or an afternoon snack and is a gentle introduction for anyone new to green smoothies.
