Nectarine Smoothie with Parsley
Fruity and juicy with sweet nectarine, mild pear and a clean parsley freshness.
Ripe nectarines bring sweetness and a peach like aroma, while half a pear makes the smoothie juicier and smoother. Flat-leaf parsley is a common green smoothie herb: it tastes fresh and slightly peppery and contains vitamin K and vitamin C.
The colour ends up a warm golden green. The smoothie is light and fruity and suits breakfast or a summer afternoon. Start with a smaller amount of parsley if you are unsure.
