Parsley and Lettuce Smoothie
Light and herbal, with a fresh parsley flavour on a clean lettuce base.
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.
Yes, without honey or with agave syrup.
Romaine or butterhead; both are tender and blend smoothly.
No, it is herbal and savoury; add fruit if you prefer it sweeter.
