A ripe peach carries this green smoothie almost on its own. Two mild salad leaves bring the colour, and half a banana makes it smooth and round.

Peach Smoothie with Spinach and Lamb's Lettuce
Fruity and gentle, with juicy peach in front, a soft green note and a smooth, lightly creamy texture.
Peaches are at their best in high summer, when they are juicy and fragrant enough to sweeten a whole glass. Here they meet two of the mildest leaves you can blend: baby spinach and lamb's lettuce. Both contain folate and vitamin K and add hardly any bitterness.
The banana is only a half, enough for body without masking the peach. The result is a light green smoothie that tastes clearly of stone fruit, a good start to a warm morning or a refreshing snack in the afternoon.
Barely. Peach and banana lead; the leaves add colour and a mild green note.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, drained peaches in juice work, although the smoothie becomes sweeter and less fresh.
