Iceberg lettuce is mostly crisp water, which makes this smoothie unusually light. Raspberries give it colour and tartness, banana a soft sweetness, and rocket a hint of pepper.

Rocket Smoothie with Iceberg Lettuce and Raspberries
Light and refreshing, berry-tart and softly sweet, with a subtle peppery touch.
Iceberg lettuce has a very mild taste and a high water content, so in a smoothie it mainly adds freshness and volume rather than a strong green flavour. That leaves room for the raspberries, which bring a tart berry aroma, and the banana, which adds body and sweetness. A little rocket gives the drink some character.
It is one of the lightest smoothies in this collection and a good way to use up salad leaves. Enjoy it on warm days or as a refreshing afternoon drink.
Very little. It mainly adds freshness and a light texture.
