About this smoothie

This is one of the simplest green smoothies there is. Flat-leaf parsley contributes a clean, herbal flavour and is known for its vitamin C and vitamin K content. The banana supplies sweetness, a creamy texture and some potassium, so no other fruit is needed. Because it takes only a minute to make, it is ideal for busy mornings or as a small snack between meals.

Bartender tips

  • A frozen banana makes the smoothie thick and cold.
  • A squeeze of lemon brightens the parsley flavour.

Variations

With apple
Add half a green apple for a fresher, slightly tart version.
