Parsley and Lettuce Smoothie
Taste
Light and herbal, with a fresh parsley flavour on a clean lettuce base.
About this smoothie
Lettuce consists mostly of water and has a clean, mild taste, which makes it a gentle base for a green drink. Flat-leaf parsley brings the flavour: fresh, green and slightly peppery. Parsley is a good source of vitamin K. A little lemon juice and honey are optional but make the drink more rounded.
This is a very light, savoury smoothie rather than a sweet one. It suits a hot day or a small glass before lunch.
Bartender tips
Blend with a few ice cubes; the drink tastes much fresher when very cold.
Half a green apple or some cucumber make it rounder and a little sweeter.
Variations
Cucumber parsley
Add 80 g cucumber for more body and a cooler taste.
