This is a smoothie for people who like it tart. Lime and lemon sharpen the berries, and a small handful of spinach disappears completely behind their colour.
½ oz
lime juice
¼ oz
lemon juice
70 g
blackberries
100 g
strawberries hulled
20 g
baby spinach
6¾ oz
water
1 tsp
honey to taste (optional)
Garnish: Half a strawberry · Ice: Served up, no ice
Tart and fruity, with bright citrus, juicy strawberry and darker blackberry; thin and refreshing.
Berries and citrus are a natural match: the acidity of lime and lemon lifts the aroma of strawberries and blackberries and keeps the smoothie tasting fresh. Baby spinach adds a green element without changing the flavour much, since the dark berries dominate both taste and colour.
Strawberries are well known for their vitamin C content, and blackberries add fibre. With water as the base, it is a light, low sugar option for warm afternoons.
Hardly. The berries and citrus cover its mild flavour almost completely.
Yes, if you use agave syrup instead of honey or leave the sweetener out.
It is noticeably tart. Start with half the lime juice if you prefer it milder.
