Rocket in a smoothie sounds bold, and its peppery bite is noticeable here. Sweet mango and tart raspberries catch it, so the result tastes fruity with an interesting, slightly spicy finish.

Mango, Raspberry and Rocket Smoothie
Sweet and fruity, with thick mango, tangy raspberry and a gentle peppery rocket finish.
Rocket, also called arugula, has a distinctly peppery, slightly bitter taste, so it is used sparingly in smoothies. A ripe mango is strong enough to balance it: it is very sweet, thick and a good source of vitamin C and provitamin A. Raspberries add tartness, colour and fibre.
Mint is optional but freshens the finish. The smoothie is a good choice for anyone who has tried the mild green classics and wants something with more character. It suits breakfast or a light afternoon snack.
It adds a noticeable peppery note, but the mango keeps it balanced. Use less if you prefer it milder.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, they work well and make the smoothie colder.
