Two nectarines, a handful of spinach, water: this is a green smoothie at its most basic. The fruit has to be really ripe, then nothing else is needed.
2
nectarine ripe, stoned
20 g
baby spinach
5 oz
water
1 tsp
lemon juice (optional)
Garnish: A nectarine slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Fresh and fruity, with clear nectarine flavour and a light green note.
This recipe relies entirely on the quality of the nectarines, so it is best made in high summer when they are juicy and fragrant. With water as the only liquid, their peachy flavour comes through clearly. Baby spinach adds leafy greens and a hint of colour without dominating. A few drops of lemon keep the taste fresh. The smoothie is vegan, has no added sugar and makes a good take-along drink in a jar.
