This is a green smoothie with no fruit apart from the avocado. Coconut water supplies a gentle sweetness, and lamb's lettuce keeps the flavour soft and nutty.

coconut water chilled
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mild with nutty lettuce, buttery avocado and a faint coconut sweetness.
Lamb's lettuce is one of the mildest salad leaves, with a delicate, nutty flavour that suits smoothies well. Avocado gives body and a creamy texture and is known for its monounsaturated fats. Instead of fruit, coconut water provides a light natural sweetness.
The result tastes savoury rather than sweet, closer to a chilled green soup than to a fruit shake. It suits people who prefer less sugar in the morning.
Only slightly, from the coconut water. Add a fruit if you prefer it sweeter.
Yes, baby spinach is similarly mild.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
