This is a smoothie for people who like it tart. Lime sharpens the berries, and the spinach disappears completely behind their deep colour.
140 g
mixed dark berries frozen
20 g
baby spinach
¾ oz

5 oz
water
1 tsp
honey to taste (optional)

Tart and fruity, cold and refreshing, with an intense berry flavour and a zesty lime finish.
Frozen mixed berries are practical all year and are picked when ripe. Here they are paired with a generous amount of lime juice, which gives the drink a sharp, refreshing profile. A handful of baby spinach adds greens without changing the flavour, since the berries dominate colour and taste. Berries and lime both contribute vitamin C. With water as the liquid, the smoothie stays light. It is ideal on a hot day or after exercise.
Hardly. The berries and lime dominate the flavour.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
Yes, add a few ice cubes for the same chilled texture.
