About this smoothie
Lamb's lettuce, also called corn salad, is a classic winter salad in German-speaking countries and one of the mildest greens for smoothies. It contains vitamin C and iron. Ripe mango gives creaminess and sweetness, so no banana or sweetener is needed. Half a teaspoon of chia seeds swells slightly in the liquid and makes the texture a bit thicker. A quick, simple glass with only four ingredients.
Bartender tips
Wash the lamb's lettuce in a bowl of water several times to remove all grit.
Use frozen mango for a colder, thicker glass.
Variations
With banana
Add half a banana for an even creamier texture.
