Lettuce is the gentlest of all smoothie greens, so the mango and nectarine taste completely in front. A good first glass if green smoothies are new to you.

Fruity and mild, sweet from mango and nectarine with just a fresh green hint.
Most green smoothies rely on spinach or kale, but ordinary lettuce such as romaine works too and tastes very mild, with a slightly watery, fresh note. Ripe mango brings creamy body and plenty of sweetness, and a nectarine adds summery stone fruit aroma. Lettuce contributes water and a little fibre rather than strong flavour. The result is a light, sunny glass for breakfast on a warm day.
Romaine or butterhead are mild and blend smoothly.
Hardly; it adds freshness more than flavour.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
