Not every smoothie has to be sweet. This one tastes more like a cool, drinkable salad: crisp cucumber, mild lamb's lettuce, creamy avocado and a gentle green tea note.

Lamb's Lettuce Cucumber Smoothie with Green Tea
Cool and fresh, with crisp cucumber, a creamy avocado body and a light green tea note.
Cucumber is mostly water and gives this smoothie a light, crisp freshness, while avocado adds creaminess and monounsaturated fats. Lamb's lettuce has a soft, nutty taste and blends smoothly. Cooled green tea replaces water and adds a subtle, slightly grassy depth, along with a moderate amount of caffeine.
This savoury smoothie contains almost no fruit sugar. It is a good choice for people who prefer less sweet drinks, for example at lunchtime.
Yes, a moderate amount from the green tea. Use cold water or rooibos for a caffeine free version.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
No, it is fresh and savoury. Add half a green apple if you want a hint of sweetness.
