Lime, Rocket and Ginger Smoothie

Taste

Peppery and spicy, zesty from the lime, with a creamy avocado base and a clear ginger heat.

About this smoothie

Rocket is the star here, and it does not hide: its peppery, mustard-like taste is clearly present. Ginger doubles the heat, lime adds sharp acidity, and half an avocado makes everything creamy and rounder. There is no fruit apart from the avocado, so a little agave syrup can help balance it.

It is a smoothie for people who enjoy strong, savoury flavours and like their greens to taste green. Drink it fresh, ideally before lunch or alongside a light meal.
