Fruity, sweet and tangy with a mild green undertone and a light, smooth texture.
Pineapple is one of the best fruits for green smoothies because its sweet and tart flavour easily covers leafy greens. It is also known for its vitamin C content and contains the enzyme bromelain.
Lamb's lettuce is tender and mild with a slightly nutty taste, which makes it a gentle choice for the green part. Half a banana adds creaminess so the smoothie does not taste watery. Light, fresh and vegan, it works for breakfast or as a refreshing snack on a warm day.
Yes, it contains only fruit, salad leaves and water.
