About this smoothie

Lamb's lettuce is a mild winter green, which makes it a good partner for fruit. Strawberries bring aroma and are known for their vitamin C, and half a banana gives the smoothie body and sweetness. Because red and green mix, the colour is not the prettiest, but the flavour is clean and fruity.

The smoothie is plant based and light, suitable for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Frozen strawberries make it possible all year.

Bartender tips

  • Rinse lamb's lettuce twice: sand likes to hide between the leaves.
  • More strawberries make the colour pinker.

Variations

Creamy version
Replace the water with oat drink for a creamier smoothie.
