Lamb's Lettuce, Apple and Passion Fruit Smoothie

Taste

Fruity and tangy, sweet from the apple, with an intense passion fruit aroma and a mild green note.

About this smoothie

Lamb's lettuce has a soft, nutty flavour, which makes it one of the easiest greens for smoothies. Red apple provides a sweet, juicy base that is available all year, and passion fruit adds an intense tropical aroma and a lively acidity.

The combination is simple but effective: familiar apple flavour with an exotic twist. The passion fruit seeds give a little crunch; blend briefly if you want to keep them whole. Good for breakfast or as a fresh afternoon drink.

Bartender tips

  • Wash lamb's lettuce in a bowl of water and lift it out, so the sand stays at the bottom.
  • Two passion fruits make the aroma even stronger.

Variations

Pear version
Replace the apple with a ripe pear for a softer, sweeter smoothie.
